The other people were outstanding. The doctor was great, only had one problem with a nurse, but the nighttime nurse was phenomenal, she even hummed when she put in an IV. So you didn't worry about it, you were thinking about what song. I'm going to write a letter about her. Anyway, thank you very much.

When I first called to setup my appointment, the guy that answered asked if I was in an accident of some sorts. When I told him no that it was a broken rib his whole demeanor changed to one of... oh... well then we will get back in touch with you... I felt like he didn't care about my problem and sure enough it was 2 days later when he called back to finally schedule the appointment.
