    I received a warm reception from the staff at the check in station. As I progressed to the back the clinical staff was courteous. The nurse completing my health assessment was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. And then there was my doctor; an excellent clinician who listens, assessment and implement. I was a heath professional for 45 years and I know quality and excellence exhibited by a health care team
