"This emergency room and their staff did an excellent job in helping me with a kidney stone that I got while on a trip to Ogallala
The staff was really nice and very helpful and helped me through the pain of the kidney stone.
I was a little hesitant to stop in a small town emergency room but they were awesome! I will definitely use them again if I’m ever in the area again! Thank you to the staff!"

"I could not be more impressed with my visit to this hospital. They were as fast as they could be, incredibly kind, very thorough and attentive, and I really felt the genuine care they had for my son in the ED. I am so beyond impressed and grateful. That staff deserves the highest recognition. Absolutely incredible."
