In patients' words

"The nurse was super sweet. In fact a lot of the staff here are nice. Only a few here and there have exhibited bad bedside manners... The display of rudeness today seemed a little harsh."

LocalityBiz review

"Do not go to this place! They will make you wait hours in severe pain as other patients in seemingly much better condition are served. Horrible incompetence."
