ER with kidney stones... pain and nausea My physicians used lidocaine intravenously and it worked quickly and effectively. This is my second time in an ER with kidney stones and I can testify to the world that lidocaine can be a far superior way to manage this type of pain. Thank all good.

Do not do business with Cottage, absolutely unprofessional and incompetent. My doctor referred me to gasteroentologist Dr. Miseilman for a $20+k procedure at Cottage. Canceled it after a blizzard of all day, everyday 10 phonecalls from different people asking questions I had already answered, 50 emails (including strings of 10 exact same email) probably 50 texts (including the exact same text every hour) demanding I complete an online checkin I had already completed, etc. I told them to stop or I would cancel. They continued so I canceled. Cottage cares nothing about my valuable time, or their credibilityand neither does Dr. Meseiman. Given this pattern, likely to show up for the procedure to be told we have no record of you and/or nightmare getting my results and a nightmare from now to eternity getting crazy bogus bills for money I do not owe.

Almost seems too easy...so far so good and much easier than sitting in the phone loop trying to speak with someone. Hope it works.
