Acute elbow traumatic instability treatment in Americas

Diane , Shawn, seoung , Ashley, Barbra, & all the wonderful folks here at Pam have treated me very well, & went well above the call of duty to make me feel comfortable in an extremely difficult time in my life, ,, thank all of you so very much, & may God bless each & every one of you 👍❤️😊😊😊

My husband came to PAM 3 weeks ago after multiple recommendations by people within the hospital industry. We are leaving soon, and wanted to leave a review of all the wonderful staff at the facility. The therapy teams have been an absolute dream! John with physical therapy is patient, kind and funny. He pushes us to constantly strive for better, and is a huge asset to PAM. Kristen with occupational therapy is also the sweetest woman I've ever met. She is helpful, encouraging and a great listener. Irene with Speech therapy is so incredibly kind and also brilliant. She describes every step of the therapy and why it benefits you. It made us feel so much more at ease in an area of medical care that we had not ever participated in. Kelsey, Noe, Travis and Anika with Respiratory Therapy were wonderful to work with. They moved my husband quickly through all the stages of respiratory therapy, while making sure he was safe, but also pushing him to the next step. The nursing staff was exceptional during the day, we adored Bonnie, Jordan, Lydia and Matt, and Monica and Natalie were great night nurses. As far as CNA's, Madison, Abby and David were all fantastic! These staff treated us like family, loved on my husband, and gave exceptional service. They constantly asked if we needed anything, were thoughtful with the meds being given, and carefully curated his healthcare to fit the need at the moment. We could not have asked for a better experience! The administration dealt with any issues that arose quickly and efficiently. We did struggle slightly with some night staff that struggled to find the patience to understand his communication methods, but we brought this to the attention of administration, and they dealt with it immediately. He was given control of his healthcare, and this eased anxiety in so many ways. We are so incredibly blessed that we came to PAM and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an LTAC in the future.

I want to time to give Mr. Garth a very big THANK YOU! I'd been wanting to get my haircut, and he came through for me. He even helped with my shaving kit....He helped end this week on a great note. God Bless him for being here when I needed it the most!

My husbands best friend has been in the Pam Unit for 2 months. Not once was the room cleaned. Floors were so dirty. They would leave their trash laying in the room and on his bed. There was one RN nurse who was meanest uncaring person I have ever seen! They have now moved him to a nursing facility over 4 1/2 hours away that has awful reviews. It is so sad how people treat sick patients 👎🏻 they don’t even deserve a 1 star

This place is a complete joke. I should of knew the first 10 minutes we were there that it was going to be a nightmare. We got my dad there at 10 pm and when we got to the room it didn’t even have a bed in it. The speech therapy/nutrition employees were one of the rudest people ever. They are unprofessional and not very caring. One day one speech therapist said he could use a straw and have ice and water and the next day another person said he couldn't. The lack of care and compassion by most of the staff is unacceptable and unnecessary. Dr. Motaz B Hossein is very unprofessional and not friendly at all. He is not very compassionate. He doesn’t listen to the patient or the family. He is very stuck up. I hope that Kettering network never recommends this place to anyone in the future. I was actually worried for my father’s well being. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Horrible experience for my father in law. It was dirty and people were zero help with his rehab. I would give this place zero stars if possible. I would never send anyone there. It was suppose to be a step down from hospital care but there was hardly any care at all. He was there for 2 weeks and he made zero improvements. This place should not even be an option to send people too.

I just want to say Veronica-CNA has given the best care. She’s is the number one person that goes above and beyond with her care for her patients. She stops what she is doing to helps me and makes sure I am okay. Thank you so much Veronica

Patient care was perfect and staff was very friendly and helpful. The doctors are informative and were available and there everyday. I Just want to give a big thank you to everyone at PAM Health Specialty Hospital! This is my second stay here and extremely thankful to the doctors and staff for their care, concern and professionalism. Happy to be gaining my health back to head home.

My daughter was in this place. It was horrible! They treated her so bad. They were mean people. They would tease & mock her. They rarely spent time with her. She had to beg to have someone help her. I witnessed 2 nurses standing in the door way laughing while my daughter was beging

I had to go in for a knee replacement. I have never ever been taken such good care of. They are very caring and catered to my every need. Everyone was so nice . I would so recommend this place to anybody who's getting spine or knee surgery.

5 STARS for sure. Great efficient and caring staff. I had a spine operation on 10-05-2022 at the hospital and could not be more pleased with the care I received. I want to particularly commend and compliment Ashley Dawson, RN Day nurse. She is exceptionally efficient and went out of her way to cheer me up. She is the kind of RN we all wish we have when we are hospitalized. Thanks Ashley

This is hands down the best hospital I have ever stayed in. I had a cervical discectomy and fusion. From the minute i checked in until the time i checked out all staff were extremely caring and attentive. Very polite and understanding, extremely helpful and constantly making sure you are ok and always offering any help whenever needed. I felt all staff went above and beyond during my stay. Made me feel very comfortable and also helped calm my nerves. Would highly recommend!

I would like to say that Pam hospital did a wonderful job taking care of my sister when she was there. The staff was so nice and friendly and the hospital was so nice,clean and good environment. Some the staff even reached out after my sister left the hospital just to check up on her and see how she was doing. Amazing place and they do an amazing job!!!!

My father was recently discharged from about 3 weeks at PAM. I am so happy he was in their care. Very clean facility and easy visitation process. I spoke directly with members from every team while he was in their care. They took the time to explain everything to me whenever I asked. The have the professionalism and patience I wish other facilities did. A shout out to the entire staff. I know I'm getting some of these names wrong. Andy, Nurse Jaime, Yen, Dr. Sprague, Dr. O, Mike and Jackie from therapy and my little Cuban nurse friend (Mey-Lynne?) who put up with dad when he was a challenge and tolerated my Spanish. Front desk lady was always so welcoming. Sorry dear, I never got your name. Case workers Kris and Laura were awesome. I was freaking out a little when my dad was not doing well and Laura talked me down. I still owe you one for that... The whole staff went above and beyond even my highest expectations. You guys are doing god's work and I very much appreciate all you do everyday for everybody in your care. J

Stayed here from late January 2023 until March. What miserable experience. I had an occupational therapist scream and yell at me. I had a doctor yell at me. Both were very unprofessional. I waited for 2 hours for the staff to answer my call light and to distribute necessary pain pills. I left the place with a newly acquired bed sore. I received infrequent therapy. I only got out of bed 5 times in my entire time there. Need III go on? What a terrible in place!

This place is awful dont get me wrong there are some good people here but they haven't changed my bed and I been here almost 2 weeks and thos what they serve you

This place is awful understaffed and most of of staff are under qualified they were a few good ones my husband was in diapers and I could not get him changed he got blisters on his lower half I started trying to get him changed at 6:15 went to the nurses station at 7:00 after call 4 times and finally at 7:45 they came to change him and treat his blisters which made me decide to post. I was taking him outside at the hospital which help his mind after a liver transplant and I could not get anyone to help me get him in a wheelchair here. I would not leave my dog here

This is the second major hospital stay for my mother in the last 3 years and when needing extra care and time to heal with her serious life threatening medical concerns we were given choices and decided to come back to PAM for her Acute medical care. I’m so glad we came here, she’s improving daily with her Dr, Nurses, therapists and aides here at PAM. Thank you so much.

This specialty hospital provides no privacy for patients in that there are cameras in all rooms. Add to that: patients' visiting families are treated in a way that might be similar to visiting a prisoner. The nurses are amazing they seem to really care but management needs to take some courses in public relations.

Paulista Hospital! ✅Excellent location ✅ Parking in front with a single price of R$ 20.00 ✅ Quiet and fast ✅ good cleaning ✅ Good service ✅ places to eat @graoexpresso and @casabauduco P.S An amazing piano in the cafe do Grão area. Big and airy!!! I really became a fan ❤️ Congratulations to everyone involved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My wife underwent surgery, which I was waiting for her discharge, good service, qualified professionals, modern structure, has parking services, or nearby there are several parking lots, in the waiting hall there is a place to have a snack, or even a small meal.

I passed today 02/15/22 for endoscopy. I was so well attended by Sara (endoscopy reception, where I needed to sign the medical forms). Arriving on the sixth floor where the exam takes place, I was very well attended by Dr. Aureo (I believe that was the name of the doctor who performed the endoscopy), the anesthesiologist, I don't remember his name, was very sweet and took great care of me. Note ten for your service! He was very careful, my veins disappeared, the nurse punctured my arm 5 times in an attempt to find the vein, but it disappeared. He then left it to the anesthesiologist to perform the procedure, and as I had asked that it not be done on the hand, he tried it on the wrist area and it worked at first. I don't have any bruises on my body. In addition to waking up from sedation, very well, without any pain or discomfort!! I did not know the hospital, and it was a pleasant surprise when I was referred to it. Very nice, clean hospital. I just loved it. In the end, I got a voucher for a snack, I used it to visit the upper area on the Mezzanine, which by the way is a very beautiful area due to the lighting and the sun hitting it, very spacious and comfortable chairs. I had the coffee but because I had been fasting for many hours, I needed to eat something more and decided to have lunch downstairs at the cafeteria “Casa Bauduco”, because I was in the mood for a different coffee. It's that delicious coffee and croissant.

I had hernia surgery by Dr. Kluftinger July 2022. Great surgeon and staff. Highly recommend OHSC.

Had surgery today at OHSC can't say enough good was looked after extremely well from the moment I walked in and through the surgical process from staff-nurses-Anthesiologist Bruno and Doctor O'Brien. Thank you to all for the best surgical experience I could hope for. Highly recomment OHSC

I went here to ask for Lazer skin care surgery for moderate to medium severe unknown facial scarring… I paid $6,000 for 1500 Needles to be punctured into my skin with some sort of medicine that must have just been sterile water… it actually looks ten times worse than it did before I started; had I not mentioned I had an inheritance; I might not have been sent to a random room…. They might have actually given me the first possible treatment too work for my skin, instead they figured I’d go back for the rest of the 14 other rooms of mechanical devices they had to offer for skin care. WHEN I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR LAZER TREATMENT… when I arrived she just grabbed this huge machine with a needle device (PUHHHWOOOPHTSHHHHHUUUUHHHGHAHGHAGHA) it was a retarded puncture device with a huge needle going in and out of your cheeks and such, completely missing my nose which was half of my worry to begin with. I’m thinking of sueing concidering that treatment isn’t even listed on their website!!! I’m very upset. It looks way worse and with more puncture marks than before :,( HANDS DOWN THE STUPIDEST PLACE TO GO FOR ACNE TREATMENT IN THE WORLD… have fun guys. Get ripped off then!!!

I have been to this clinic twice. My knees are extremely painful to the point I can barely walk without assistance. I am on prescribed pain meds as well as 10 to 15 Advil per day just to function. Both times I attended my appointments at the hip and knee clinic I was flatly rejected due to my weight and age. The Dr I seen for my appointment did nothing but fat shame me and reiterate I was too young for replacement as well as he told me “it might not be your knees at all”. I would never recommend this clinic as they seem to be fine with people taking a lot of pills for pain relief. I will certainly explore other options that will at least treat me with dignity.

The doctor is lovely, however the physiotherapist Tina is a miserably rude and unpleasant woman. This is the second time I’ve attended an appointment with my grandmother and had Tina, both times she couldn’t be bothered to let you speak, or god forbid listen when you do even though you are answering what she’s asking/saying. She tells you different things at each appointment that contradicts what she said previously, and even in the same appointment. She is sarcastic and my grandmother who is hard of hearing and often needs clarification was spoken to as if she is just being difficult. If I could write separate reviews for the doctor and Tina, the doctor would have a much better rating, but unfortunately I can’t.

I was impressed by the education on rotator cuff and shoulder dynamics shared with me. I believe my assessment hit the nail on the head because the pain was replicated on assessment. I was provided a great treatment plan.

My mom chose to have a hip replacement done at a private clinic because she did not want to wait at her age. I found Gateway Surgery online and phoned them. I and my mom were impressed by their professionalism. They gave us confidence, and we knew we were at the right place. My mom had her hip replacement with Dr. Adam Hart. Thank you so much! We had a very good experience with travelling, staying and post operations care. I have nothing but great things to say about this. My mom’s life was back normal. We would like to thank all the staff at Gateway Clinic for the exceptional and outstanding patient care!

I recently had bilateral hip replacement surgery with Gateway and Dr Adam Hart in Montreal. The entire process from the initial contact was totally efficient, organized and very kind. I felt completely well cared for and I was confident right from the start that I was in great hands. I cannot believe how quickly I am recovering! Dr Hart is a wonderful, very kind surgeon and his team in Montreal, every single member of that team, were exemplary. This organization treated me with compassion too. I totally recommend Gateway and Dr Hart .

I chose to have my hip replacement done at a private clinic as I did not want to wait for years at my age. I found Gateway Surgery online and was impressed by their professionalism and by learning that the surgeon was also head of orthopaedic surgery at a local hospital in Calgary. Their receptionist, Jennie, was friendly and open with all the information I requested. I spoke with the surgeon, Dr Johnson, a few times prior to surgery and also to the anesthetist. A lot of health information was requested prior to the surgery which I liked. Maybe having a video about what the surgery would have involved might have been helpful but once I was at the clinic, the care was superb. Physio visited the day following surgery and once I mastered the use of the crutches and was shown the exercises, I was sent home with a set of crutches and an ice machine equipped with a sleeve to fit over the hip. The information booklet that was given to me at discharge was very helpful but I would have liked to receive a phone call from the surgeon at the 5-6 week post op and not have to phone to ask for this. I would highly recommend using this clinic. My recovery has been smooth and I am almost back to normal at the 3 month mark.

I had today a knee surgery at this clinic , I just want to say a big:Thank you for your work! Everybody very professional , carrying and thoughtful and Dr. Bray is amazing Thank you very much , I'm pretty sure you bring happiness in lots of people life, keep up the good job and the high standard

I am 6 months out after left hip replacement. Dr Duffy did excellent work and I would recommend him highly. Hero in the admin area was so nice to work with and assist thru out of province obstacles. Great team!

TKR in August 2022. Very disappointed with the room I was in, very untidy . I was unable to shower as it was being used for storage, which meant a lot of interruptions whilst I was trying to rest following surgery. The nurses were absolutely wonderful. Follow up care by Dr Zarnett not as it should have been, I was told I would have had three telephone consultations after my surgery 6 weeks, three months and six months, but so far I have only had one call from him at six weeks. (I am now six months post surgery). Not sure I could recommend Clearpoint Toronto considering the cost of my surgery and the lack of aftercare.

I took my son (8) for surgery with Dr Hancock (pediatrician specialist) At maples surgical center. The Front Desk staff nurses & doctor was very friendly and Kind . They explained everything well .I had Many questions before surgery and after al questions were answered well. Surgery went smoothly and the nurses took such a good care of my son and accommodate with all his needs.We are so glad we went here .

I have been a client at Maples since 2013 & I have had nothing but incredible experiences over the years . The staff are well organized & quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The care following procedures is phenomenal. Words cannot express how grateful I am!

My surgery to have my tonsils was supposed to be for this Friday coming up. Got a confirmation text to confirm this appointment today, maybe roughly 2 hours later I get a call from my dr's office that this has to be cancelled! My boyfriend had taken time off work to be able to take me. I was prepared to take 2 weeks off work and the day off on Friday. I can understand being understaffed, however It's completely unacceptable to cancel an appointment so close to the date, imagine if I wasn't able to work for those two weeks because they had decided to over book appointments and not have enough staff available for these said appointments. I have been waiting over 2 years for this! So disappointed by the fact the timing was so uncalled for. I'm sure there was knowledge before the long weakened of this being an issue...

I went in for my first surgery a few days ago and everyone at the surgical centre was great. I felt well taken care of from the moment I walked in. I was extremely anxious and they did everything they could to make me comfortable, and followed up the next day. Thank you to the whole team that worked with me! And an extra thanks to the nurse who held my hand when I was scared 💜

Great staff, everyone was so nice! After a terrible experience 10 years previous at a surgical centre downtown on Burrard, I was expecting the same terrible treatment. Instead, I was so pleasantly surprised! The anesthesiologist, Demitri, gave me a local anesthetic before putting the intravenous needle into the back of my hand which I very much appreciated! All the nurses were kind to me. From start to finish, everyone was so great and treated me well.

Only ten days from diagnosis to surgery to repair my Inguinal Hernia. Dr. Scudamore and his team were amazing. The entire process with False Creek was a pleasant experience largely due to Dr. Scudamore’s ability to listen and understand my concerns, recovery objectives and how I wanted the surgery performed. Open surgery, no mesh, used my own fascia to repair the tear and he also took the time to tie off vessels rather then cauterization. Minimal tissue damage! Can’t say enough good things!

Poor quality of service from the medical lab team and patient services. Contacting via WhatsApp and Email gave imposible results after trying to reach them for weeks for a quote for labs. They give you differing information (via whatsapp they gave me a quote and then almost doubled the quote estimate via email - still unexplained). They kept me holding for weeks with no proper response nor matching prices. After waiting I still don't have a full quote for the correct labs. Calling is also made impossible as whichever option you pick off the menu loops you back through the main menu. I do not recommend planning any tests or labs through them.

absolutely one of the worst experiences I have gone through. This place is a mess, disorganized, rude staff. A terrible experience from beginning to finish. Avoid it au all costs.

If you're traveling and get sick, think hard BEFORE you go there. This "Hospital" will take you for everything you got if you're not Colombian and have private insurance. To be fair, the nursing staff is wonderful, but the doctors are nothing but vultures circling to squeeze as much money out of you in your moment of need. Get local traveller's insurance and avoid this place like the plague!!!!

I loved Google

Before anything else or complain, I want to praise the super helpful reception staff, the 2 stars are for them because I would give 10 but I would give *0* to the doctor I saw on duty today, in short, I stopped by the Ipiranga unit in the orthopedics emergency room at 6 pm :30 on 01/05/2023 a super rude doctor on duty attended to me because my left hand was hurting below the indicator since early on , I am allergic to AAS Sodium dipyrone, Ibubrophene and non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs that had already been mentioned in the screening and also Identified with the red allergy bracelet that I believe would be for the doctor to pay attention to something that the doctor did not notice, and even so the doctor wanted to medicate me with anti-flamatory. I sent it to the doctor and she said the following: "It gets difficult". I asked about the need for an X-ray on the hand, she said that there would be no need and said if the pain persisted at the site for me to go to a clinic specializing in orthopedics. In short, I didn't understand what I was doing at your hospital, the only thing I was sure of was that I was very irritated, unhappy with the terrible and rude service of the doctor, and detail she had her mask down the whole time. Reaffirming that the reception staff were super helpful from the beginning of the service until the moment I opened the written complaint at the reception that I could barely express myself because I was so angry. I only come back to this hospital really in an extreme case.

I want to start by saying that, if it were possible, I would do the review without giving even 1 star. It is not today that I realize the decadence in which this hospital finds itself, however, with each visit, it is getting worse. The day before yesterday, on the day (02/11/2022), I went to the same one because I had been feeling very ill since the morning. Upon arrival, I went through the screening, reception and consultation — which I have nothing to complain about, as they were extremely helpful professionals — but my problem (as always, by the way) started in the medication room. As I settled into the chair, the nursing technician came to talk to me to inform and administer the medication, however, she came to me super rude, without even saying her name. He confirmed my data and, when he found my vein, he put the needle in everything - to the point of making me scream in pain and ask to apply it to the other arm. I then asked if she could get a finer needle, but I think it was even worse. I felt even more pain, but it worked and she administered the medication. Before the medication runs out, Dr. had already passed and talked to me to see how I was doing. As he was still in a lot of pain, he said he would administer another medication and did so. When the first measurement was over, I tried—unsuccessfully—to call the professional to exchange the empty container for a full one. I waited more than 15 minutes until another patient arrived and could ask the technician who was medicating this same patient to administer the new medication. After a few minutes, he came back with the same. After some time, I noticed that the medication was not going down and I spent a few more minutes calling someone, until the cleaning lady who was in the room answered my request and called the 'professional' who initially attended to me. She came, opened the medication and returned to her post to talk to the other colleagues. The Doctor. passed again and discharged me, but I was only able to leave after almost 1 HOUR of the doctor's last visit because I was completely ignored and my mother had to look for me inside the medication room. A total disregard for the patient who is already in a vulnerable state and in a lot of pain. If possible, stay AWAY from this 'hospital' 😉

Ok

Former IBCC The guy at the counter Lucas was very attentive and friendly. The doctor took a long time to perform the service (more than an hour), but he was very solicitous. I hope they always serve the patients well and improve more and more. Ahhh… a tip for the IBCC… patients who undergo blood tests and need fasting… please always leave tea or coffee with biscuits!!! Downgraded one star... I would like to report another experience I had in this same place, the attendant is solicitous but lacks “humanization”. Patients are already going through a difficult phase, so treat them with more care and attention. A classic example, in the first consultation I went with the doctor and already on the same day I already scheduled the return. However, this last time, they asked to call instead of booking directly at the venue, but it doesn't hurt to book directly… because I was already there. Another problem I noticed was that in the first appointment when I went to book a return appointment... the doctor didn't have a schedule because he had a full schedule, but as he asked for a return visit in 2 months, the attendant then called directly to see how he should proceed, in the which the doctor ordered fitting. This time, the attendant… did not insist on calling. He just asked me to go to the doctor to check. Another IMPORTANT detail that I checked was when handling the vacuum blood collection adapter, I had the impression that the material was reused. I sincerely hope this does not happen, as we patients are at risk of contracting other diseases. It takes a long time at the counter to schedule an appointment.

The place is too big, and nobody can explain how you move around there. I really didn't like it

Great place for medical emergency

Really good service for a tourist in need of a quick prescription. I was seen within 15 mins and got the medication I needed. Doctor spoke English which was helpful

They will not accept you if you don't have private insurance. They only accept payment from the insurance company, no credit or cash. If you are traveling here, go to a public hospital. The lady working there was extremely rude to me and was not willing to help me at all when I asked her where I can go to get medical help. I asked her for a hospital name and she essentially told me to F off. Luckily, I contacted a Spanish school for Spanish lessons and asked them where I can go. They gave me the name of a public hospital, and I was able to get my wound treated.
