A happy mother, Avitha
Dr. Cass and her team provided exceptional care to my son at Hilton Life Hospital. She treated us with the highest level of care and integrity. I wish her continued growth and success.
Renee Ekerold
Thank you so much for the incredible work you did on our little boy, Dr. Cass! When he was recently admitted and we were told he would need surgery, we were understandably worried as parents. However, when you entered the emergency room with such a calming and caring approach, all our concerns disappeared. We quickly realized our little man was in very capable hands. Your bedside manner is like nothing we've ever experienced before, and we hold you in the highest regard. We are very happy with the outcome and it was no surprise that our little boy later “only want(ed) Dr Cass” to look at the wound.
A grateful father, Byron
Thank you again for your professionalism, kindness, and calm demeanor. Most importantly, thank you for being so caring—it truly helped put my wife, son, and me at ease while our littlest one underwent surgery. You are truly an asset to Hilton Life!
