How Selected: This hopital is associated with the Tempus group.
Competitors: The service was excellent. The rooms were beautiful and ultra clean. It was more like a fine hotel room. There was a fold out couch bed for a guest to sleep over. They provided a meal servce for the guest. You had an in room refrigerator and TV and VCR. The staff was readily available to help and you had a nurse with very few other patients so someone was always there for you. I haven't been in to many hospitals, but it was so much better than the others.
Comments: Its small, everyone is very kind and helpful. The place sparkles. It in a location with many hotels for extended family to stay. I felt well taken care of and confortable there.
