Great visit. Long wait, but I was a last minute work-in. The receptionist is the absolute nicest person I have ever talked to. The nurse and doctor were very nice and so down to earth, and talk to patients in a non hurried manner.Show more Really listening and trying to make the best decisions for your issue.
From check in to discharge every single person was friendly and professional. They were thoughtful of my driver also. I will definitely recommend. The entire building was neat and clean. The employees got along and it showed. TheyShow more were pleasant to each other. If you need this service this is the place.
