I would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses that attended to my medical needs…I came in with a very serious bacterial infection…Amongst others that I can remember that need recognition is RN Joe, nurses Jessica (and) Alondra, Dr. Mendez, Dr. Aguilar, and so many other nurses and people from maintenance and customer service that kept checking in on me to make sure I was being taken care of. This was all God’s doing, and I thank you from all from my heart.

I want to start off by saying how grateful I am to still have my wife alive today…From calling  the ER to let them know that I was on my way with my wife that she is going into anaphylactic shock to the Doctor (K. Trevino), the nurses (Cassy RN and Yarili RN) and  CNA(Jesse) working together and in a timely manner to help stabilize my wife. I want to say a big thank you to the paramedic (Tim) that was at the entrance and listened and relayed the information that I had given him and rushed my wife to the back so they could start working on her. Thank you again to the staff at DHR from the bottom of mine and my family’s hearts for saving my wife.

I unfortunately had to make a visit to the ER and from the FREE Valet parking and the attendants to the registration and the nurses and the doctors and x-ray techs, my visit was amazing.
