"I feel that it is a well-oiled machine, with Dr. Brout at South Boston. I just can’t say enough good things! ... Everybody is on the same page, for a level of healthcare I had never experienced."

— Healthgrades Review of Dr. Meenakshi Kumar"Felt heard and cared for, not rushed. I was in for an annual and to establish as a patient after moving to the area and couldn’t be a bigger advocate for this hospital."
