Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback for its professional and friendly medical staff, quick and knowledgeable service, and the overall care received across various departments. Many reviewers highlighted the dedication and efficiency of the nurses and doctors, mentioning rapid response times in emergency situations, thorough testing and diagnosis procedures, and a caring attitude towards patients and their families. Instances such as prompt attention in the ER, successful dental and minor surgeries, and the personal touch added by staff members like "Dave the PA" and RN "Amy" were frequently praised. The community's facilities were also noted for being clean, inviting, and easily accessible, with a generally short waiting time.
However, not every aspect of the experience was flawless. One notable concern was expressed regarding the quality of the doctors, with a suggestion that doctors in another city might show more care. Additionally, there was disappointment with the human resources department, as one reviewer had a negative experience with the job application process, including miscommunication about a job's full-time status and perceived lack of interest from the HR staff. Another minor complaint mentioned by more than one reviewer was the occasional long waiting time. Despite these drawbacks, the wealth of positive experiences shared by patients speaks to a dedicated and effective community, with many expressing gratitude and willingness to return if necessary.
