The professionalism, the cleanliness of the facility and the well structured systems. Considering the fact that lot more foreign patients visit Memorial, getting more English speaking staff and translators will make life a bit easier especially as some medical terms have no substitute words. Overall my experience was awesome and I am surely returning to continue the rest of my medial review
