Post summary:I'm not from Thunder Bay, but recently I had to go to the ER there because I was experiencing severe vaginal bleeding and intense pain. The first time I went, they gave me medication and told me to come back if things didn't improve. The medication didn't work, so about a week later I returned because the pain was getting worse and I was worried something serious was happening. I arrived at the ER around 11 a.m. because I specifically wanted to avoid an all-day wait.

The nurses and triage team were very kind and very concerned about a miscarriage. Finally saw the (male) doctor, who did no physical exam or tests, just told me 'vaginas sometimes do that' and 'I could order an ultrasound... if you want?' then quickly left the room without telling me next steps. Waited 15 minutes for him to come back, found him at his desk, he said: 'You're still here?' Yeah, dude, am I? Because you didn't (31)

Post summary:Looking for reviews on Sovereign Dental. Two years in a row, my daughter's regular dentist at another clinic said she needed fillings.
