So frustrating that the staff makes you feel like an inconvenience when you walk in without an appointment. You are a home health store. You are supposed to help your patients. I shouldn't have to have an appointment just to exchange an item.

I have insurance and a family history of colon cancer. I have for over a year tried to schedule a college. I have documentation of trying to schedule procedures.. I have tried the my doctor. Called every line of communication with the facility. If your healing and or health is is important this is not the institution. I filled a complaint several years ago because I sat needing stitches for more than an hour while the doctor sat at a desk doing nothing. That was documented as well. Not a place to get well in.

Always talking about trying to attract doctors to the community, but then they put a stupid fence up, restricting accesses to a new Italian restaurant trying to make it in town...Mr. Gorbachev...TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!...
