Who Rates Best (& Worst) in the Seattle Area? Now You'll Know.
|
Few of us are well prepared to respond even to the mildest medical crisis. Having some first aid skills will help, but just as important is to know whom to call, what to say, and where the patient should go. That is what this article is about, including ratings of the emergency departments at area hospitals.

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).

As You Can See Below, Some Emergency Rooms Get High Praise from Their Customers. Some Others Don't. So Choose Carefully.
Here Are a Few Samples of the Thousands of Comments CHECKBOOK Has Collected on Hundreds of Different Emergency Rooms.
