Had a seizure on vacation and spent about 2.5 days here figuring out some meds and for observation. Top notch level of care, Dr. Batoon went to bat for me and has outstanding bedside manner. All of my nurses were amazing and kind especially Michael and Justine, who went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and not too cooped up. Thank you for making this a pleasant stay I really appreciate you all
