Learn MoreMy procedure we tan very well. The staff was pleasant and professional!
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!
Great experience of a tough procedure. Staff is very professional
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
