What Our Patients Are Saying

Friendly Professional Place.
We were seen instantly. No waiting. Staff was accommodating to the needs of the patient and was included in the discussion of care. Thoroughly discussed and advise any concerns patient has or may have going forward!! Great facility, Great people!!!
Always a good experience very nice and always professional
Dr. Ross has always been a great guy
Hospital is gorgeous. Nurses are great. Dr. Lee Allen is awesome and other Dr with her( I can't remember his name). All the nurses and anesthesia doctors were awesome. Great experience.
Very pleased. I have came here for years for my mom, and the staff and her doctor here has always been kind, professional, and deliberate in her care. I recently was referred to them from my primary, and I was quite happy when I learned I’d be going there, since I knew what to expect, and I wasn’t disappointed. They were good, and quick to discuss my concerns and I feel empowered to be part of my healthcare journey!
Everyone from the reception desk to the Doctor (NP) was kind and polite. They were very helpful, and showed a true caring nature.
Short wait to see doctor Walling, attentive staff, good consultation with Dr Walling and able to make next appointment immediately
I was seen by S. Zeilstra, we had a good discussion, and he treated me with respect. We came to an agreement on how to proceed figuring out how to go forward.
Very positive experience. Don is always patient and explains everything very well and answered all of my questions.
Staff was courteous and professional. I was seen almost immediately. The PA I saw was thorough and explained things well. He outlined possible approaches to treat the issue, took my thoughts and concerns into consideration and together we agreed on a plan. Would recommend.
