    Dr. Houston is an amazing neurologist. Extremely knowledgeable; patient, personable, kind and great bedside manner. All of the nurses I've had have been wonderful. Miss [ ] has been an especially unforgettable nurse. I don't mind that I have to travel nearly two hours for my care due to the quality that I receive. The receptionists are great, the ladies at the parking ticket area are great. This is an amazing hospital.
