This is not an opinion, it is a scientifically proven fact explained in greater detail in the links on my other post. A hospital can only be as good as the people who work there. Not every single small facility gives sub-par care and not all CCC's are created equal either.
OCF will always recommend a patient get the best doctors and get treated at the best facility they are able to. Everyones situation is different and they need to do whats in their own best interest.
