From the moment that I was brought into the surgery suite I felt safe and taken care of. The staff were efficient, friendly and extremely professional. I was told what was going to happen, when it was going to happen and how it was going to happen.This is the exactly the way that a medical procedure should be done and I wouldn't go anywhere else for the service you provide. But I do have a question. Is Dr. Vesga really old enough to be a doctor? She looks so young! And she's is the best!! Thank you EBE and see you in five.

The staffs are friendly. I am surprised that they provide a lot of different languages help there. It makes the patient feels comfortable to use their own language to speak and understand the procedure.

Staff and facility made the visit efficient, pleasant and comfortable throughout. Anesthesia was terrific, with no side/after effects. Cheers to all the staff if there are such things in the medical world!
