In patients' words
"$6,000 for 2.5 hours of care for the flu?? I’d hate to think what the full price is. ... Don’t go here if you can help it."
— MedicalRecords.com Reviewer"Do not recommend. Dirty and literally takes forever no matter what you’re there for. I mostly can’t believe how gross the rooms and halls are and how rude the people working here are."
— Birdeye Reviewer"Dr. Nesterenko was very good with good with keeping me informed. He was honest about what the surgery would or wouldn't do to help my pain."
