Everything about this place but mainly the staff is what makes this place great. I was taken aback at how great of service I received. The staff were friendly professional prompt and timely. If you could give them a raise or some type of merit bonus you should because this type of service in this neighborhood is very rare.

Very easy to schedule and get set up our first time there. All paperwork was done via an iPad which made everything move quickly. All the staff were incredible. Highly recommend. Lots of attention showered on my feverish four year old - she now wants to visit whenever we walk by.

I had a concern so I called my insurance co. and I was covered for this facility. It has only been a few days so my issue has not been totally resolved. I was seen fairly quickly and Medical staff was pleasant but reception could be more professional and friendlier.
