My mom waited over 2 months to get an appt. Finally got one scheduled and then had to wait several weeks before she could get her surgery scheduled. Her COVID test came back positive a few days prior even though she tested negative with several other tests. She has a drain catheter that we have to drain at home, every day to keep fluids off her kidneys. It's IMPERATIVE she has stints put ASAP to help with her kidney function. We called several times to try and get some answers or reschedule the COVID test and they called back and basically said she now has to wait an additional 7 weeks because of hospital COVID protocol. The nurse I spoke with said she tried calling everyone which I appreciate but she seemed very annoyed that I was calling and hung up on me! My mom literally can't make it 7 weeks and I am very disappointed in the experience she's gone through with trying to get this surgery done. She is a cancer patient who really really needs this done to get her health back and no one can give us answers as to why there's a 7 week lead time after a positive COVID test (even though she wasn't even sick!). Maybe this will get someone's attention and they'll reconsider the way they treat patients who NEED their help!

My husband Guillermo Coto has a surgery on the 03-08/12 and he he is still have blood in urine 2 days he was fine with the antibiotics. Three days after the surgery they removed the Cather and the antibióticas are finished. I tried to have muy antibiotics but recepcionista after two transfer put on hold or leave there that I actually I can hear they talking on the background. But husband has two abscess and UTI same that the the surgery did not help him on anyways. He continued to pee hiself, he can not hold hiself. The staff told me that I have to wait until the day of the appointment. I have bee calling every day if there is any cancellation but is still bad service
