Mom was admitted for excess fluid due to congestive heart failure. She spent several days in the cardiac unit. Cannot say enough about the hospital staff!!! Everyone we encountered was pleasant, patient, competent and encouraging. Dr Rommel is the best! The hospital itself is clean and nice. I'm so pleased with the level of care she received at Novant Hospital - cardiac unit.
