Real Happy & Healthy Patient Reviews

Best patient care I’ve ever received in my life. I went in delirious with an intense migraine and my symptoms were treated promptly, they took extra measures to rule out anything serious and made sure I was comfortable the entire time.

Great little emergency. I was assessed, diagnosed, and treated within a few hours! The staff is very friendly. I received thorough and compassionate care. If you have the misfortune of needing to visit a hospital, I’d recommend this one.
