Mammograms are nothing to look forward to, but I just had my first one at HMC and Yvette was great. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and easy attitude to make it a comfortable experience. She walked me through every step and vocalized every move during this sensitive procedure, always asking if I was ok. She also had me in and out quickly without feeling rushed. Not that I will look forward to future exams, but I won't dread them either thanks to Yvette.

I got diagnosed with Hyperthyroid recently. My family took me to this hospital since I was going thru a Hyperthyroidism storm. Sitters were so kind to me. They accepted my Ambetter healthcare which is a really affordable healthcare. I was treated with dignity, respect and integrity. As a college student It means a lot to me. Food does need to improve but other than that nurses treated me well. My Endocrinologist was very professional I got to learn even further of alternatives to my thyroid. I was discharge in two days just as promise and they look after me well.

I went for depression and Benzo withdrawls. The did nothing to help. They just watched, made jokes and an employee chanted flower power. I will never, seek help again. I should've know better but what's 1 insignificant life. Never again
