Very friendly and courteous. Also very thorough.
Great follow up
Everyone,from the front where they check you in, to the time you are ready to leave was AMAZING !! I want to Thank Everyone. And I want to apologize to Emily, she was trying to help me & I got mad at her. I was scared & didn't know that the numbing medicine would make me numb and not able to walk & it would go away if I kept my leg busy. And yes it did get better. I apologize to Emily & anyone else I was mean to because I'm not like that at all, I was just scared because i've never happened before. Otherwise thank everybody. You ladies are amazing. While I was trying to get the numbing medicine to wear off, I could hear you guys back there and what you said to the patient and how kind you were. Everyone should hear what you guys do on a daily basis & how do you take care of everyone who comes through those doors ! Thank All of You ❤️
