Yes, I was very pleased with the nurse Sarah. Leslie on the 8th floor in the Cardiology wing. She did a wonderful, wonderful job, as well as the overnight nurse on the 8th floor in the Cardiology wing the doctors were very thorough with me and talked to me about everything that was going on and upon being discharged. There was 7 or 8 people in the room just got around my bed, and he just wanted me to see what they want to save. Make sure they can help me. I was very impressed with that, they were clapping and cheering, that’s a very moving thing to do so, very caring thing to do. So I hope all I’m free. The nurse Sarah, Nestle from a crowded. Excellent, excellent. Excellent. Excellent job. Very friendly, caring, not afraid to touch a human being.

A nurse named Tracie in the 8th floor, who so sweet and helpful. But really all the nurses there were amazing!

I have nothing but the highest respect for you and your team.

The medical team was good. The nurses were uniformly excellent, caring, and both professional and warm and caring.

The nursing staff, housekeeping, transport staff were very kind and respectful.

I found the nurses to be extremely competent, and did all they could to make sure I received the best of care. I’d also like to thank Dr. Hassan and the doctors on his staff for all the tests they ordered for me to ensure that my symptoms were not heart related. (truncated for unrelated info)

Everything was done professionally.

Best Dr.s and nurses very caring about patients.
