Great experience, great friendly staff. They inform you of all the steps of your procedure. Really a very easy process. This is my second time going through this at this facility and had the same experience both times.

Everyone was friendly and professional. I especially liked the man in the surgical room that talked to me about my KISS tattoos. It helped me to relax, and put me in a good mood.
