Everyone was so kind and generous, they made sure you know everything from the beginning to the end of your procedure. I love it here and they make you feel so welcome from the time to come in the door, until you are done and leaving.

My procedure went well. Everyone took excellent care of me. The only thing is I wish they would give you time after recovery. Rushed to get you dressed and out while you are coming out sedated. Give more time for ppl to come out of the anesthesia before getting dressed and leaving. That’s all I’m asking. But overall great service
