    I love Dr Lane and Dr Ortiz. Sometimes the staff is a little short but overall I wouldn't go to any other hospital. The hospital staff is so good. Someone should do a story on their kindness.

    It's such a comforting feeling when staff at the Doctors office are kind and they smile and ask how you are. I find Cooper to be the best at this. Every office I visit I feel welcome and the staff really seem like they enjoy working there.
