Excellent experience from admissions, to prep to procedure to recovery. Had nice visits with Darla, Sean and Doc Underwood. No problems or issues whatsoever. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

Dr. Underwood was very nice and took time with me. Although, I still hurt in my intestines it has gotten a little better. I guess I need to make another appt with him. He seemed like he want to help me and had great beside manners and that’s saying a lot these days where you sometimes just seem like a number.
