Just spent almost 2w rehabbing there from being hit by a car and it was well-run, careful for the most part, precise for the most part, and a good place to rehab. Fine food, if that matters. Capable and experienced staff, good hands-on care and help. Top docs O'Connor and Bougas are smart and experienced and have good judgment.
