Never go to this place. I waited for over 3 whole hours
- ★★★★★Raul LopezGoogle
So unprofessional that they had to delete the location from Google maps just to reset their reviews because they had so many 1 stars. Absolutely unprofessional attitudes, incompetent nurses, and complicit staff. Community needs to work together to get these people out from this location.
