R&R, close to hospital
The staff was amazing and attentive, knowing that I was in there to be close to the hospital and Dr I needed to see. The facility is very clean and comfortable. A great location, and even though construction was going on, I was able to relax and rest. The meal at the restaurant was very good and convenient. Staff there also very nice.
