North Oaks Medical Center, L L C: "It is oct. 28th 2020 Wednesday morning at 1:50 am. I have been sitting in the waiting room since 10:20 They have only called 6 patients to the back since i have been here. I was not one of them. My urologist sent me for a re evaluation bc i have aggressive hydrophenosis and serious kidney infection. I am in a huge amount of pain. The triage nurse asked me what number of pain i was having and when i said 10 he was trying to change my mind. There is NO sense in this place being so slow!!!! " - Ethel
