I went to the ER for a cat scan as instructed by my dr. I was greeted and spoken to by all the staff in a positive manor and I could tell they loved their jobs and helping people. Truly a great experience if you need medical care I highly suggest you travel to AMC!

Had an absess big as a golf ball. This place ran a million tests, sedated me, operated and kept me for 2 days. Cost 10,000. It happened again and they tried to make a ton off me again. I left and went to another place who popped it in 5 min. Would not recommend for anything beyond routine stuff. They must really need money because I think they are scamming.

Report
I was a tourist in the Adirondacks when I had a massive flare up of a problem I have with my jaw. The triage person asked a few questions, didn't obtain any vitals and never asked if I had any allergies-which I do. I only waited a few minutes to go back. Was taken to a hallway bed, which I understand how full ERs can be. The doctor came to see me before the ER RN did. He listened to what was going on and examined me for about a minute and left. He ordered prednisone and oxy. I wasn't interested in the oxy, just something to take the inflammation away and something slightly stronger than advil.

What a great place for ER care!! Thank YOU for taking good care of me when I was in your ER while on travel. I appreciated the kindness of every staff member - the nurses, docs, and CT technician. Thank you all, and you really do make a difference!

I was a patient today on 10/1, I was seen by the emergency room department, Both the Nurse Jason, and Dr Werblin M.D made this experience very pleasant. Especially for someone with severe anxiety. not to go into detail, as my visit was ending Dr Werblin made a point to ask me how I was doing otherwise, the thoughtfulness of his memory of past visits and complications gives alot of reassurance that the care he provides is really meaningful, and puts such warmth inside the mind and soul. He is definitely a one of a kind Doctor.
