  • review rating 5  Thanks to all the nurses specially to the doctor!!! He was very nice and caring... The only problem I had was when I walked in the office for my appointment. The receptionist were very rude! Whatever move you make they would speak to you so rudely and they act like you have some kind of disease! I didn’t appreciate their service! Lastly when I was done with my appointment I said Thank You, and I got no reply back!!! I was already nervous about my procedure and when I walked in I got rude replies which made me more stressed but when I met the nurses and the doctor they made me feel welcome! Lastly, The nurses and the doctor was very caring and polite! Thanks so much!!! I highly recommend this place! 😀

  • review rating 5  Be prepared to wait a bit longer than expected and wear something comfortable. The nurses that you see when you go in for the procedure are really nice to you and they try their best to make sure you have an easy and safe experience. The nurse that is in the recovery room is extremely nice! She’s always checking on you to make sure you are good and has a down to earth personality. My experience here was easy and good. I felt like I was treated with respect and care.
