Dr talman is seeing our family member and making them feel cared for the first time in this facility. Illl keep that stats as long as stands. Other care might stand up but she change our mind after the fist 20 min.
had a very positive experience at this hospital. From the moment I arrived, the staff was professional, compassionate, and attentive. The nurses were especially kind and took the time to answer questions and explain everything clearly, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle.
The doctors were knowledgeable and thorough, and I felt confident in the care I received. The facility itself was clean, well-organized, and efficiently run. Even during busy times, the team remained calm and respectful.
I’m truly grateful for the level of care and professionalism shown throughout my stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this hospital to others.
Good people here at the ER. The doctors and nurses are genuinely kind and very competent. I really appreciate these people showing up every day and doing their best work despite the challenges and personal stress they endure. Thank you Salem Hospital ER team!
