I am always pleased with service I receive at this facility. I must say I feel really sick and was given an antibiotic and cough syrup for my symptoms. I hope by Friday I am feeling better. For some reason this time there exist an element of doubt however we will see. I certainly will call if I am not better by Thursday. I would recommend the facility.

Staff was so much more than courteous...very caring and compassionate. They were a hug and a kiss of human kindness. I was an 80-year female on crutches, walking/shuffling extremely slow due to severe foot pain.
