Dr. Coggins and the nurse staff at Westar were absolutely exceptional. They did everything, told me exactly what was going to happen and what was going to happen afterwards. I appreciate them so much. I wish that doctors here in Columbus, Georgia would take notice of that hospital there and do some more, do more to be like them than this one. Thank you.
