CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Amanda made our discharge home a very smooth transition. She made sure I understood what signs and symptoms to look for and what signs were considered normal.
Dr. Beavers and her husband were amazing! ALL of the NICU nurses that cared for our son were phenomenal, informative, and most of all caring and understanding.
Thank you for the patience always the doctors tried to find the translator and be able to speak well with us. Grateful to the staff for a good job and affection they gave to our baby Camila, we will miss everyone
All the doctors were fantastic, and everyone was helpful. Smooth transitions from one MD to another. The plan was always uniform as was the care.
