In some ways it works better than regular for high $$$ healthcare providers. I was very impressed and got procedure done fast and very inexpensive

The staff at the door was super helpful and easy to navigate. Getting the document required was easy and seamless. The staff was generally helpful albeit simple tasks of printing documents. It was busy during the early hours but generally was simple in and out. Would go back if more documents are required.

I was here for the first time and the staff at the child and mother window seem very knowledgeable about their jobs. They offer interpreters for every family who comes to the window and they were very helpful. I never knew how so much goes on in this building.
