I received excellent care. The staff are professional but caring and kind. They're there to do their best and make the patients comfortable. They continue to ask if there is anything I need and are quick to help. Wonderful nurses, aids and volunteers. A great experience! The shuttle for infusion patients is excellent. Thank you for including that to help get to the hospital and back to our vehicles. So thoughtful.~Linda Willyard
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a great team for my test. The test was simple and did not take long to finish. I meet a staff member checking in she was so sweet and she told me if her grandmother had to come and take some test she would be pushing her granny around that was heart felt to me. I appreciated her.~Alma Givens
