The treatment that I have received from Dr. Madu and Dr. Tulloch Reid was phenomenal. The one on one treatment, they understood my fear from being away from my family, my country and they did everything to keep me calm and to understand what was happening with me. It was that care that I received, that made me make the decision to have an open heart surgery here in Jamaica. I am ever so grateful to HIC, if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be here today.

The treatment here was first class, the doctors are on point, the staff was really good, if you have a Cardiac problem, anything to do with the heart, Heart Institute is the place to get treatment.

“I didn't have to struggle and call around to get an ambulance for pick up, I didn't have to wait to get him admitted into a hospital, I didn't have to worry if they had the machines to test him, I didn't have to worry if the hospital had a bed for him, I didn't have to wait on a cardiologist to start administering care or to come and see him. I didn't have to worry about logistics being stuck in Ocho Rios when my home is in Kingston. My family had the most important thing in a traumatic situation, PEACE OF MIND. We delivered him to the best possible place for care, and it was up to God and the Doctors to do the rest. Thank you HIC for saving my husband, and thank you for first world medical care right here in Jamaica.
