Learn MoreGreat, caring service provided by staff from reception, nursing staff and Doctors. I definitely recommend this practice.
Everything was great and staff was amazing, but the IV was extremely painful and placed on side of my wrist and left a bruise the size of a golf ball. This photo taken week later.
Everything went well just felt like there should've been more privacy once you are pulled to the back. The thin curtains where multiple patients are places then you have multiple nurses/techs walking around. Just my opinion because i could hear multiple conversations between patients and nurses which needed to be done in a more private setting.
Everyone was extremely nice and attentive to you as a patient. The front counter to the nurses aids, nurses, and the doctors made the visit a smooth process and kept making sure sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure up until the time I left. An incredible staff!!!!
