Exceptional care from the moment we arrived until discharge the next day. Communication was clear and succinct, nurses were excellent in their care and infection prevention was apparent. Both Dr. Marc Ward and Dr. Tom Kelton are highly skilled and caring. Would HIGHLY recommend.

After a total Hip replacement, the care we have received has been nothing but outstanding. Every single employee at this facility has truly showed compassion to not only the patient but family too. We have yet had to ask for anything. Care has been 24 hrs and on time for everything. All the nurses and techs show through their skills and patient care that they love their job and their patients.
