"saved my life with its excellent facilities and service in March 2000 Sam OTUYELU"

"Useless. They don’t even try to treat your symptoms. They just put you in a bed and give you a drip of ibuprofen and Valium. I would like to add to my review. I went for a follow up. My appt was at 8:40. It’s currently 9:35 and the doctor has yet to arrive to work. This place is a disgrace."

"It's a very good hospital with excellent doctors but in three visits here the receptionists were unhelpful and obnoxious to me. Use the self check in if possible (some of them were broken) and avoid the receptionists."
