Letter: Thanks, Adventist
I would like to give kudos to Adventist Health Tillamook. I had minor gut surgery this morning and it all went very efficiently and I was treated with kindness and respect. The doctor and all the nurses, (there were many) and anesthetist were kind, friendly, efficient, informative. Every time my husband or I have had to go to to Adventist Health we have been pleased for all the same reasons I have listed above. We have never been disappointed, ignored or treated in less than a professional way in ER, urgent care, surgery, or with a doctor. Thank you, Adventist Health. Andrea Goss, Netarts
