    Twin Cities Community Hospital: "I was brought by ambulance on August 17th. My experience at Twin Cities Hospital was best made by Dr Clark. His compassion and bed side manner was beyond any other who I encountered. My nurse Mary was a little rough around the edges and the blonde curly haired gal who I didn't catch her name that did my heart ultrasound was hilarious. She made me feel so comfortable. She was real and showed concern. If you have to have an experience at an ER I would give my experience a good rating. I was there 8 hours before my release. Long time but I felt comfortable going home after multiple test to confirm good health.
    I know Dr Hale and his family and wish him well. He can rest assured Dr. Clark has big shoes to fill but he definitely had my back and made me feel like he really cared about my situation....
    Thank you to all....."
