“A smiling face is the mirror of our body and can heal sick
patients” – Last March I came here for check-up. I was then referred to Dr.
Espinosa so I went to his clinic. He sent me back here for EEG. The staff
downstairs at the front office did the EEG for me right away so I had the time
to go back to Dr. Espinosa who interpreted the result. It was done so fast that
we had the time to go back to Ilocos that same day. I thank the staff very much.
To Lorma as a whole, thank you so much and may God bless you all. All the staff
and employees of Lorma Hospital are very friendly. I’m very glad to see their
smiling faces every morning.
Keep up your good work!!!
- Patient Rm 426.
Thank you for my pleasant stay at Lorma. Keep up the excellent
care & service. Dr. Nelson Gundran is very patient, good physician. He listens
well to patient’s complaints. He shows happy disposition. Hope he’ll be a fellow
soon.
Thanks doctor!
– From Executive Suite G
“I have been supplied with newspapers
everyday. I had been to big and modern hospital in Manila, and it’s only here
that we are given newspaper. Nursing personnel – prompt in doing things
for patients’ comfort. Very good big, and clean trash cans."
- From Exec. Suite E
“My thanks to Dr. Gamboa and MCO in the ER
who gave a helping hand during my life and death situation. I can’t forget all
of you who gave me my second life and of course to our beloved God Almighty who
used your hospital to help me survive. I was so satisfied. In behalf of my small
kids, husband and my relatives, thank you very much! God bles you all!” – From
2A (Ward)
Lorma hospital has improved a lot when it comes to services.
The personnel are so caring and they always offer a friendly smile. I am happy
to see some interns who were my former students in high school. They are so
cheerful and fresh looking which help the patients recover fast. LORMA
EXCELLENT! – From Rm. 222
