"Unprofessional as soon as I came in. No greeting just rolling of eyes. There was a reason why I left 15 years ago and seems like nothing changed."
— LocalityBiz review"They called my mom to read her breast biopsy results, they knew that she doesn't speak English, I went with her to the appointment, without asking if we needed someone to translate or anything. The provider then told me to tell her that she has cancer. I do not recomend this place at all."
