    Grateful we have such an excellent hospital in our community. I have consistently experienced…read more5-star service at Sutter Davis for everything from imaging and labs, to ER and surgery. Everyone working here is excellent at their job, trustworthy and responsive. The facilities are spotless and well-equipped.

    Update: Posted this almost a week ago & sent emails and have had no one reach back out to me…read more clearly displays lack of care and seriousness to this situation. I brought my two-month-old daughter to the Emergency Department due to severe diarrhea after receiving conflicting medical opinions from multiple providers. On that same day, I sought emergency care twice because I was increasingly concerned about her condition. My daughter was experiencing diarrhea at an alarming frequency--approximately five to six bowel movements per hour during and after feedings. Despite repeatedly communicating these concerns, no testing was performed, and I felt my concerns were dismissed without a thorough evaluation. During the first visit, I was essentially told there was nothing that could be done and was sent home. Given my daughter's age and the severity of her symptoms, I expected a more comprehensive assessment or explanation regarding why further testing was not warranted; however, I trusted the doctor.  During the second visit, a triage nurse informed me that if my daughter was not drinking, she might require IV fluids. At that time, my daughter began drinking her milk again. Based on guidance I had previously received from healthcare providers regarding signs of dehydration, I wanted to wait before proceeding with an IV if it was not immediately necessary. My decision was based on medical information I had been given and my desire to avoid unnecessary interventions while still ensuring my daughter's safety. When Physician Assistant Jessica Upton entered the room, I felt she immediately approached the situation with a condescending and sarcastic tone. Rather than providing education or discussing concerns respectfully, she spoke to me in a manner that felt belittling and dismissive. She repeatedly referenced being a mother herself and implied that she would have handled the situation differently, which came across as judgmental rather than supportive. She mentioned how because it was my second time at the hospital, I shouldn't be "messing around" and "taking it serious"- assuming I did not care enough or had any knowledge. At no point did I feel she attempted to understand the circumstances that had led me to seek care or the conflicting information I had received from other medical professionals. As a mother who had spent the entire day seeking help for her infant, I was already scared, exhausted, and doing my best to make informed decisions for my child. Ms. Upton's communication style made me feel humiliated and invalidated rather than supported. The interaction became so upsetting that I cried in the Emergency Department. I also requested to speak with the charge nurse that evening. Unfortunately, I did not feel my concerns were taken seriously. The charge nurse, whose name I did not obtain, appeared largely unfazed by the situation and repeatedly responded with a nonchalant "okay" while I explained what had occurred. I received no reassurance that my concerns would be investigated, nor any indication that the impact of the interaction was understood. The charge nurse suggested having a conversation with Ms. Upton. I declined because my primary concern at that point was my daughter's health, and I did not feel comfortable being placed in another situation where I might be dismissed, talked down to, or invalidated. My complaint is not simply about a disagreement regarding treatment. It is about the lack of empathy, professionalism, and respectful communication I experienced while seeking medical care for my infant daughter. Parents who bring young infants to the Emergency Department are often scared and looking for guidance. Regardless of differing medical opinions, patients and families deserve to be treated with respect and compassion.
