“ My son recently had surgery with Dr. Hollinger. I just have to tell you that the entire experience was excellent. Our time in the ER was quick & efficient & the surgery part was so easy. Dr. Hollinger & her resident were wonderful & made our son feel comfortable. I was blown away that our whole process took only five hours. The new hospital is beautiful & everyone was kind! ”
