Everyone treated me very well. I went to two departments, and they were also wonderful. My provider and her nurse are always caring and take their time with me.

Patient

My provider knows his medicine and what cures people's problems. Delightful staff that makes clients welcome. Polite and professional. And the administration in this hospital very knowledgeable. Give a great shout out to the maintenance staff as well. Very Clean. Always will look forward to coming to this facility for my medical needs. Thank you.

Patient

I have never known a clinic and hospital like Gothenburg Health, much less doctors as kind to my children and to me when I was hospitalized. They gave me a lot of attention. I love those two doctors.
