| I was referred to Dr. Williams and the hospital by my cardiologist. |
| Competitors: |
I think HUP's facility and its staff are excellent. I felt very well taken care of and I feel that the staff is very knowledgeable. |
| Comments: |
I had to stay in the hospital an extr couple of days due to a slight problem with my JP drain. I never felt rushed to leave. The staff kept me until they felt I would be okay to return home. This was a good thing. |

I always expect hospitals to be impeccably clean because of them being hospitals but HUP was only close but that's just me. Otherwise my care was excellent I would always recommend Dr. Williams! |
