The staff has been amazing! Highly trained and organized. I very much appreciate the wealth of knowledge from Hannah and Dr. Cotter. They had great senses of humor and were very through. The facility was clean and the receptionists were very helpful. My only recommendation is to provide Lori with better training. She needs an attitude adjustment. Not only was she rude to me as a first time caller but listening to her lack of professionalism while waiting is really going to hurt your reputation. She should learn call signs! Everyone else was helpful.
Dr. Cotter is a nice guy that makes u feel comfortable and he have answers to all your questions.
