Confidence in surgery
I was treated like I was the only one there. I was treated with utmost care in such a way I knew I was going to get better and leave this hospital a lot healthier than when I was admitted. Everyone acted in a professional manner and also in a human manner; you felt that they really cared and were not just going through the. If in the future I happen to be ill again and need to be hospitalized, Saint Anne’s is the place to be. Thank you again for treating me with dignity and compassion.
