I just wanted to thank everybody from the doctors and the nurses. You all were wonderful, and you explained, everything like you were supposed to me in a way that I could understand and your bed side manner was phenomenal and I was only allowed to have my husband up there, but you guys really active like family. It was very caring to the patient. So I had a wonderful experience and I had to go back and how to put a wonderful experience. So I just want to tell you all. Thank you so much.

All my nurses were really great. I wish I could remember the names of everybody, but particularly kind to me was Antoinette and Tony was the person that was checking on me every hour. Everyone, from the people in the parking garage, housekeeping, nutrition, techs, nurses and surgeon made me feel a lot better, I’m just super pleased with the whole experience. Thank you.

The nurses and the doctors were very professional and you couldn’t ask for any better care.
