"I cannot thank the entire Weems Memorial family/staff enough for the entire experience!! I'm going to go in to detail, but I just want to start by saying how incredibly kind, warm and hospitable..."
— Birdeye/Google Review"I wouldn’t give 1 star to this hospital. Lady at the ER check in couldn’t care less... She wanted his insurance and drivers license and said to have a seat and we’ll be with you in a minute. We waited for someone to at least to come and do triage."
