Dec 04, 2022
I dont agree at all with all the negative revies. My experience from check-in to discharge was just great: Friendly staff & nurses who took very good care of me and were definately friendly. Dr Cardenos was also competent, lisyened to me and carefully explained what was going to happen during the procedure. I'd use him again.
