Outstanding staff, very professional, dedicated, informative, compassionate, kind, attentive, and eager to meet every need of the patient. The support staff are just as committed to excellence, and representing UAB well. Except for ""light on seasoning"", perhaps due to my restricted diet, the food was excellent quality, nutritionally balanced, and tasty. I commented to friends and family that I don't know why people complain, because I felt like royalty, staying at the UAB Resort and Spa. UAB has an excellent reputation, and now I know the reason why, from first-hand experience.
