"Don't go there if you don't have a brazilian plan, they will force you to pay for unnecessary insurance that is 3x the normal price."

"Use to be 5 star. But now it's American owned you feel prices rising, quality dropping. Waiting times up and staff under pressure. Went there for a blood test recently but after nearly an hour's wait at processing, I left. In these times we need to be safe guarded not at risk. This profit based mentality means they can't rise to the challenge."

"Stellar. professional, humaine, attentive, caring and loving. My mother was admitted 3 times and used the hospital almost daily after discharged. From the valet parking to the doctors, cleaning to nursing staff, everyone was efficient albeit friendly."
