    When you arrive they attend kindly, when you need someone to translate for you they also help you, the good thing there are also people who speak in Spanish to be able to communicate well, gratefully also with medical personnel, and nurses with some beautiful people, and well it seemed to me very well. I give it to them for a lot for all the care, both my son and me, and thank you very much.
