"Totally unprofessional and dirty. I paid for x-rays there and still after 3 months they refuse to send me the results or analyze them. Go to any other hospital, the experience here is awful."

"Great service and noticed a more modern lobby and faster wait times. Staff and doctor were very courteous. Highly recommended."

"No staff , in any hospital should be allowed to use their phones while on duty. Especially in an ICU ward. Pay attention to the patient NOT your damn phones. You're there to work. All mobile phones should be banned during working hours for all staff in every business and more so in hospitals."

"The attention was great, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, took me about 35 minutes to be admitted, but I was already advised that the unit was really busy today, no complaints from the care team it was a great experience overall"

"I went to the emergency room with a terrible cough and breathing problems. They were very efficient and kind. I speak very limited Spanish. They even translated my medicine directions into English. I can not say enough about the great care I received and would recommend this hospital highly."
