    I have used the UK HealthCare system for over two decades and issues happen so rarely if at all that they do not need mentioning.

    *Dr. Bensalem-Owen is the best neurologist. She is highly competent AND truly listens. It is rare to find both.

    The entire office works like a team. I've never had a bad experience with anyone in my 3 years as a patient.
