6 hours wait time to be seen by ER Attending for a partial airway obstruction and no one cares. 6 hours! Absurd!!!

Shut this hospital down. Making people wait in the ER for 8+ hours should be a crime. And it’s cold here. Lady at the front counter is very rude.

In the past year I have had surgery’s at children’s hospital, buffalo general, and here. I will be reviewing specifically my experience with having surgery here. As usual the staff was great! The person who put my IV in was very considerate of my needle phobia, getting a smaller IV, assuring me that the tube left there is meant to bend, etc. Surgery went well. However, the pre-op waiting room is one large room filled with many beds, which means it’s also filled with many patients. The beds are only separated by curtains and the nurses station is in the middle of the room. This makes it so hard to hear what is beating said to you many times. If you have anxiety or are easily overstimulated like I am, this is not a good place for you. It gets so loud sometimes because of all the patients and nurses in one room, separated by no sound barriers my head was spinning, especially after getting out of surgery. There are 2 maybe 3 bathrooms and they are all shared with the people in the pre-op room ( which is also the out patient post-op room). However the bathrooms are handicap accessible for the most part. There is a big bump going in and out of them that hurts if your in pain and is not very easy to go over, as well as at least one of them is quite small making it hard to move around in a wheelchair in it. Other than that my experience here was good.

Is the Cpep as bad as the reviews are? If so what are my alteratives? I am on a new medication and I need somewhere safe that I can go to if things get bad.

Alan Grant | Sep 23, 2020
K KM | Sep 23, 2020

No, CPEP is not as bad as the reviews. I hope you’re doing well on your new medication, but if you would like some options for safe places, ECMC has another one besides CPEP. Check out the Help Center, it’s a walk in center where you can talk to a counselor without an appointment. If they feel you need more help, the counselor will walk you over to CPEP. You can also call 211 in Buffalo for access to all sorts of community services. Good luck!
