5-Star Review!I can honestly say that Ms. Amie Hymel is one of the best medical providers I've seen in a very long time! Let's face it, having to see someone about a hernia can be a little uncomfortable and nerve-racking, but Ms. Amie made my entire visit a pleasant and comfortable experience.She was extremely professional, compassionate, understanding, and genuinely caring. She made me feel at ease, treated me with respect, and took the time to make sure I felt comfortable throughout my appointment.I also want to give a huge thank-you to the entire staff! Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful.It's not every day you come across medical professionals who make you feel like a person instead of just another patient. Ms. Amie and her team truly deserve recognition for the wonderful care they provide.Thank you, Ms. Amie Hymel, and thank you to the entire staff! Keep up the amazing work! I highly recommend them!

Dr Himel asked about how I was feeling and any concerns. I asked about the feeling I had when I would drink cold liquids and the pains I felt. She gave me instructions on letting the drinks be room temp to see if that would help. She is a very caring doctor. I would recommend her and the hospital to anyone who want to consult on the bariatric surgery.
