Would give 6 stars if I could! The staff was friendly and professional, and the relatively stress-free procedure went by quickly with no aftereffects. The day-before prep was not pleasant of course, but much less grueling than 25 years ago!

The care was fine and people friendly. The anesthesia nurse spoke fast and robotically. Hard to process all that info while a bit nervous about the procedure whet someone speaks that fast. The place rushes you in and out fast. Not much competition let's them get away with this. Maybe I'll find a different place in 10 years
