From the front desk receptionist to the nurse to the doctor, they were all kind and professional and helped make my experience pleasurable even while felling horrible. I would definitely recommend them. The wait time wasn’t long. The doctor was attentive and very helpful. Everyone treated you as though you were their only patient.

All personnel were friendly and caring starting with the receptionist . I went there New Year’s Eve for myself and had to return to them New Year’s Day with sick grand babies. The best experience ever in a medical facility...and I have visited quite a few in my lifetime. May God bless each and every one who works there and may He give you all good health as you caring for the sick. You all were a blessing to me and my family on these two days. Thank you all for working so that we could receive the care and understanding we needed. May I say outstanding and a little shout out to Wanda,NP for taking the time to write down her name for me so that I could remember her name. Although I don’t remember the name of the one I saw don’t feel slited cause your name is not mentioned...I just don’t remember it when you just tell me. A shout out to you too. You are both awesome!🙂❤️
