I first want to start by saying – this is why I wanted to come back to NorthCrest Specialty Care. I think all of your OT and physical therapy are great. I’ve learned a lot through them. The staff are great and helpful. Also, they are understanding and if you have questions, they always seem to have the answers and if they don’t know, they try to find out for you. Your nurses are great. If you need something, they get it if they can. I like all of you very much!

I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the special attention and care given to my wife during her stay in rehab and hospice. Suzie became my wife's favorite nurse. She promised to visit her in Hospice and she kept that promise. She brightened my wife's day with every visit. Suzie's professionalism and tender care brought great comfort to my wife and the rest of us.
