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."
