"The Drs. And staff at CTGI are great! Compassionate and caring and understanding. They made my experience tolerable for procedures no one wants to have,but have to do."

"The doctors and nurses are fine. The office staff is the worst I've ever encountered anywhere in the US. The person who schedules appointments is snippy, rude, gruff, obnoxious, unhelpful, doesn't listen, etc."
