I am very impressed with the care I have received.
I was very upset one day and Gary, my nurse, helped me to open up about my thoughts and feelings.
Gerry my nurse is a gentleman and again was very understanding and showed empathy.
Casey and Johnny the night nurses were very pleasant and I could tell are very happy at their work, they showed kindness and support.
Dr Armstrong my psychiatrist made me feel better because he reminded me it is okay to open up about how I feel. He also explained things in an easy to understand manner and made me feel comfortable.
