“Everyone at PBSMG and the hospital treated me like a person, not a fat person. They always had smiles on their faces and were never judgmental.” -Lorie Goodall
“I was so impressed with the care the staff took in explaining everything to me. They were attentive, supportive and experienced. I was scared at first, but they made me feel comfortable and at ease. They were always available to me.” -Debra Creasey
“The staff was professional, pleasant, courteous and helpful. I felt that the staff always put my health and well being at the uppermost of their concern.” -Rebecca Beverly
