I love this hospital. Everyone you meet are so nice and courteous. Any questions you have they’re always able to answer. The entire staff is great. I know when I come here, I will be well taking care of. The doctors take their time explaining everything.

I can say with confidence that my nurses during all shifts were truly giving me the best care possible. They were incredibly kind and helpful, explained what was going on/what plans were in place for my care, and were quick to assist me if I had an issue or needed something. I cannot thank them enough for their work and the way they advocated for me during my stay. I feel that had I not received such amazing care from the nurses and PCTs that I did, my experience would’ve been an absolute nightmare, and this would be a very different response. I hope that those that were assigned to my care are recognized for their outstanding patient care, and I want them to know that I appreciated so much and thank them for their kindness and hard work during my stay.

The staff were very good to me, and my family and I just wanted to say thank you so very much for an outstanding service.

I was extremely grateful to the physicians and staff for not only their expert care but also their kindness and compassion. Dr. Heather Williams and the resident Hunter, whose last name I cannot remember, the anesthesiologist whose name I also can’t remember (I’m sorry), and my nurse Ginger were all especially attentive and kind. Thank you very much!

3 nurses that I would like to thank personally Sunnier, Terry Hutchinson, and Taylah. These 3 nurses did their job the right way and if I could choose from now on, I would recommend them 3.

My stay there was very good. Whenever I pushed the call button, a nurse answered right away, and I got assistance right away. They were there when I needed them, and they helped me with breathing.

Patient comments.
