"We went there because the doctor at another clinic said we should go to the hospital to get it checked out. It was easy and the doctor came soon. Everything went smoothly."

"Excellent hospital! The care taken here is second to none. The staff is not all fully billingual but you will definitely get the best and latest in care here. Rooms are nice and staff is always helpful."

"The doctors seem OK, but the whole admin of this hospital is an utter joke. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand does. They occasionally foret to apply anesthesia, prior to surgery, they double charge clients, they constantly give wrong information, or aren't informed of basic procedures, reception almost never picks up the phone and when they do, they are completely useless and blame it on colleagues...a real nightmare. All the say is "a la orden" and then they ignore you."

"Came in looking to get an xray to rule out an injury. The consult was about $60 and roughly the same for two X-rays. Luckily all is well. Dr Dahud who attended me was absolutely incredible as well."
