Report
Went to the ER to a very quiet waiting room to be met with a very loud intake staff who wanted to announce symptoms in a boisterous way for some reason. So the entry staff etiquette was uncivilized and that is something the company should take note of. Then I proceeded to go back to see Dr. Oluwaseun Shobitan for approx less than 45 seconds who decided to do no physical exam, no blood work, did nothing for pain and ailment, did no kind of imaging for future comparison incase prognosis worsen, but sent me out with a prescription anyway for a "diagnosis" that's guess work at best.
When I brought it up to the technician about how I wasnt going to be seen he seemed indifferent. If its one thing this place is going to be consistent about is not doing due diligence and not being meticulous in their job I promise you. Also come to find out the Dr. diagnosis was wrong so I was misdiagnosed and put on medication for shoddy guess work. This is also the place where my mother contracted covid and before releasing her they didn't test for it so when she was release she infected others. Their name change doesn't matter this place is still hazardous as ever!

Great hospital for all your needs, from a minor injury to a major surgery they have exceptional doctors and staff ready to handle any situation. I have been a patient there for both of those types of visits and was extremely satisfied with the services I received. This hospital goes above and beyond patient care.
