Wonderful place. The nurses were so much fun. We just laughed and joked. The people from other departments came and explained everything to me. Was very at ease when I went in for surgery. Also had a very good experience next door for the CT Scan. Nice lady checked me in. They took me right back and had just the one nurse. She was so kind. Had me in and out in no time. Dr. Z did a good job. Overall experience was wonderful.
