En la mañana de hoy visité por primera vez el hospital para recibir servicios de laboratorios y estudios, la calidad de los empleados y la atención recibida muy buena. Atentos y dispuestos a colaborar en todo el proceso. El área de mamografia y sono mamografia super empaticas. Que Dios siga bendiciendo el hospital y su personal. Gracias por la atención!

My dad was seen March 6 for a medical procedure and the staff was very attentive to his needs and care. He did have a reaction to the anesthesia and was a bit unruly but the staff and doctors remained professional through out his stay and me and my family appreciated that. It’s a small hospital but delivers good and compassionate care.
