This place is absolutely horrible. I came here with my best friend, and the way they treated her was so unprofessional. First, my friend fell asleep to an older men putting his hands up her pants, and woke up to a room full of men. She didn't get asked consent for ANYTHING. They straight up told her "no, " when she asked for privacy. They sent her out to the car super loopy on anesthesia.

I just really want to say how much I appreciate all the staff that were there. From the ladies who check you in to the anesthesiologist, doctor, and everyone else. I was so incredibly nervous and everyone was so helpful to provide me an environment where it felt safe and comfortable. It even made me emotional on how friendly and supportive everyone here was. Thank you so much again.

Everyone's kindness help me through the worst time in my life and I will forever be grateful! I'm not sure of everyones name but Hannah and Stephanie were amazing, actually beyond amazing. And Dr. McCloud is the best! Thank you all for everything!
