You guys are simply amazing, awesome, I don't have words. I love you guys so much!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!

    The people at the front office are the most awesome group of women I have ever encountered in my life. They will go above and beyond to help you. The nurses are on another whole new level. If you leave them a message, your call will be returned within ten minutes. Dr Rita Joe is the best doctor on planet earth! We are from Africa and my kids have our native names.To tell you how involved she is in her Patients' well-being, Dr Joe learned how to spell and pronounce their native names which in my eyes is top-notch.
