Bakersfield Heart Hospital: "I had a wonderful experience during my recent ER visit. There was no wait time and the staff was amazing. I am a migraine sufferer and sometimes have to go to ER for cocktail when home injections don’t work. Most times because you can’t see a migraine your questioned and not taken seriously! The physician on duty Dr. Kartalian was absolutely wonderful and knew exactly what I needed and he made me feel very comfortable. Most times your questioned and made to feel as though your migraine is a ploy to get narcotics. This is not the case and all that is needed is a special cocktail to get rid of the pain. Dr. Kartalian knew exactly what was needed, asked the proper questions, made me feel comfortable, and went to work to rid my terrible migraine! He’s truly one of the best ER doctors I’ve dealt with he’s very caring! The nurses were all wonderful especially Ethan! He did a great job with all aspects of his job! In and out in 2 hours!! AWESOME CANT BEAT THAT!!" - Shannon
