I did a clinical at Uptown, and had such a great experience!!! Wayne was super friendly, and I worked with Star a ton as well. Star was so helpful and made sure us students had what we needed and made us feel very supported! They really care for their patients and do a great job at making sure they are pleased and comfortable.
