What Our Clients Are Saying

The doctor who saw me was fantastic, he really cared about figuring out what was going on, and when recounting the story to family members, I've had many remark on how happy they are that I had a doctor who really tried everything he could.
Dr. Skelton was extremely qualified and professional - the staff spoke very highly of him. He was nice, kind, and funny. He made me feel at ease even when it was a very busy time in the ER and he was caring for many patients.
Dr. Charity and my PA were excellent. Dr. Green, a neurologist, came down to the ER to evaluate me as well. All 3 were thorough and did a fantastic job explaining my situation/condition.
I would rate Dr. Kaplan 10 out of 5, if I could. He is kind and compassionate. He is an example of world-class bedside manner combined with outstanding knowledge and skill.
PA Jess did an incredible job. She was kind, listened, explained my results well, and offered her sympathies to my situation. She's an excellent provider.
Dr. Rasheed is excellent!!!!!!!! He didn't run unnecessary tests. He was professional and courteous.
Bob, PA was very professional and extremely nice. He has an amazing bedside manner. He fixed my injury and took very good care of me during my ER visit. Top-notch service!
Dr. Hyman was amazing. He took his time with us and explained everything. My wife Is a nurse and he spoke to us very respectfully and to my understanding.
Dr. Smith was the BEST. Caring, Professional and explained all my questions.
Dr Patel is the best! He took the time to exam my son, answer all my questions and assure me they were going to observe and keep a close eye on him, which they did. Excellent bedside manner and great with my infant.
Dr. Whited walked in with a smile on his face. He sat with me made me feel comfortable. He explained everything to me about my tests during the day, I understood everything he said. Very kind, he offered me a ride at the hospitals expense, because I had no way to get home, I was thrilled with my experience with the hospital.
The nurse practitioner Dominick genuinely seemed to care and seriously wanted to help. The level of care and concern I received was above and beyond. As someone with serious health issues over the years which has required dozens of hospital visits, I have had my share of experiences in the ER (unfortunately). This by FAR was the BEST visit I have ever had.
The PA (Patrick) who treated my hand was a stellar provider, his care and treatment really showed his passion for helping others even during the hurricane crisis. Despite the SIGNIFICANT injury to my hand, he was able to calmly assess the situation, put me at easy and administer treatment beyond what anyone could ask for. This PA valiantly treated his patients (myself included) through a crisis, kept people calm and reassured despite the chaos from the outside disaster. He is what every medical professional should aspire to be. A Hero.
