We went with our baby and from the security guy to the doctor, everybody were super polite and friendly. On a day that could have been distressing and stressful, they made sure we remained calm and positive. Thank you very much for your care.

Dr. Tamara Biller MD at ER very unprofessional, careless and like for other to treat patients
Not a good experience, would not recommend any child to have her look into.
She deserves no star at all

Came to bring my daughter to the Emergency and was not able to go inside because I left my id at home since I left in a rush and I was like a 30 minute drive. Totally ridiculous since she has all the information needed to be attended. Hospital is great I just find this extremely ridiculous.
