My daughter and her boyfriend were brought to the hospital in an ambulance. They were very well taken care of. I called several times and each person i spoke with was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hospital.

I on one of our last few days of vacation with my son before he had to go back to school was hit with a painful kidney stone in Lone Pine CA.<br>I had no idea what was causing the intense pulsating pain in my lower back but within a half of an hour I knew I needed to go to the hospital.<br>Fortunately, from our motel near the western movie museum, we were just minutes away.<br>Once the doctor and I had a conversation about my symptoms, she immediately diagnosed me with my first and hopefully last kidney stone.<br>Treatment was as follows, iv's, pain meds and a CT scan to confirm.<br>No doubt what it was and where it was now, time to follow the doctors orders for treatment, flomax, water, water and more water.<br>3-4 days later I passed a large stone and never felt more relieved.<br>Thanks for the excellent care from a grateful patient.

I was on a family trip and I ended up passing a kidney stone and had my kidney fill with pee which is dangerous. My mom was so scared that we would have had to drive all the way back to Reno. These folks did amazing! Thank you
