Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"Excellent care, experienced doctors and nurses, and the administrative side is very good."
"Excellent service!! Last year my dad arrived in the emergency room having a heart attack. They attended to him immediately and managed to stabilize him. After seven days in the hospital, he underwent open-heart surgery (I say seven days because the medications he was on took a few days to leave his system). Today, he's doing very well! He can do his own things, come and go. There's no better hospital than this one. Congratulations to the doctors, nurses, everyone there, thank you so much for bringing my dad back to me alive!!!"
