"Think your only answer is treating your symptoms with medication and not actually taking the time to find the underlying problem. Not a place I would recommend."
— FindRehabCenters.org user review"I had to wait for over an hour to be seen in a cold waiting room. When I was led back, the doctor was only there on a video link. So why was I, who am disabled, post surgery and unable to drive not allowed to zoom with her from my home or talk with her over the phone?"
