This place has a few good to great physicians. The few I have experienced and the stories I have heard are atrocious. I have and am still suffering some issues related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by a 2 day hospital stay. This was in the last half of 2011. I was taken off three medications that need to be reduced gradually. Instead, I was pulled off cold turkey to continue the withdrawal symptoms at home. My life and personality haven changed. These medications I took were needed for a spinal cord tumor and subsequent surgery. I was given prescriptions and did not abuse my medications. The final notes on my stay did not (according to three of my family members) coincide with instructions they were given. My family also kept telling the physicians that I needed my medication.
