MUCH better, safer, cleaner than the old location.

This location is MUCH better, safer, cleaner than the old location. Many parents are frustrated with the new scheduling system it's much less personal and some agents in the call center have no clue! However, when you finally get an appointment and speak with the staff and Doctor's it feels like home❣️
