"If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. This hospital has the worst emergency department I have ever experienced. This organization is definitely a 'Big Business' facility and not concerned with patient care whatsoever."
— WebMD user review"Please avoid this clinic at all costs! The facility smells like urine. I was originally given incorrect test results... While I was speaking with the provider I felt like I was teaching her about basic healthcare and treatments that any medical provider should know."
— Birdeye user review"The absolute worst place for an emergency. Waiting over five hours for a CT scan. Infections in the mouth and head are deemed less important than slips on ice."
