Horrific place to do business with. Billing issues and no one has answered. They hid from you. I asked for a compliance number two weeks ago and still have not received it. After they promised to call me back with number. The medical staff is wonderful but those people running the administration have no clue or they must think if you ignore the situation it disappears. Well it has not! I am still here!! Waiting!
