I HAD TO SEE A DR HERE WHILE IN ARUBA ON VACATION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ER. IT IS NOTHING LIKE THE ER, HERE IN MY HOMETOWN. CHECK IN TIME WAS QUICK, DIDN'T HAVE A LONG WAIT TO SEE A DR. THE ER IS CLEAN AND THE DR'S AND NURSES ARE VERY COURTEOUS AND CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SYMPTONS. THEY ARE VERY THUROUGH.
