I recently visited the ER with my father and was so impressed with the compassionate care my father received. Nurse Desiree and Darby as well as Alexia, were AMAZING! They were so concerned, thorough, professional and pleasant! I appreciated how Alexia and Darby kept asking if we needed anything. I appreciated the comprehensive care my father received. Thank you UAB Emergency Department!!

My mom was taken great care of here. There was a lot going on, and the staff handled everything so well. They were very professional and concerned. Brian, the nurse in the ER, really made a great impact. He was so welcoming and kind. He went above and beyond. I greatly appreciate him.
