I was seen by Abigail Klein today in the emergency room at St. Vincent’s for ongoing headaches that have been persistent for approximately four months and have increased significantly in both pain and consistency over the past two weeks.

I use high strength medications (like hydrocodone) almost nev... read more

Was there in January after being told on the phone to come in. Sat in the ghost town of a waiting room for 2.5 hours while in constant excruciating pain. Finally got a room and was rushed to get a CT scan. Waited around for an hour and finally was seen by a “provider” for 5 minutes who basically walked in, told me he was unsure what... read more
