No matter where you go for your healthcare, all of us want to be treated by the best of the best.

There are several hospitals in New England that have also received accolades for their patient care.

The last experience I had in a hospital was for a colonoscopy.  (TMI?) The patient care I received was excellent.

From the time I walked in to Exeter Hospital until the time it was all over, (which really felt like 5 minutes) I had the best of care.  When you are going in for that type of procedure, there can be some nerves, so I was happy that the staff took very good care of me.
