Avoid this company! Their communication is nothing short of incompetent. If you don't mind being ignored, no communication, and late responses,they might be for you. If you actually need medical care, find another company who can actually do it.

Nurses are wonderful that come out. THEIR OFFICE STAFF STINK, dont return calls, dont keep caller updated when they say they will call back. Someone was to be here today, thursday 1-12 to do the wayfarin INR blood test, so our Dr would have it for Friday visit. I called twice, once at 11am and was told they were coming friday,. I said no, come today because of blood test, girl said she would see about getting someone out. Never heard back, called again at 310pm again, got voice mail, left message n wanted a return phone call. Nothing. Then at 6pm the nurse coming out calls for appt with her on Friday. We told her the story she said she never heard anything about coming out today. OFFICE PERSONNEL NEED TO GET TRAINING ON CUSTOMER SERVICE OR FIRED.
