"I know what I'm walking into when I go in there. They know me by name. It's a family atmosphere and to see that dissolving is really disgusting."
— Sarah Hudson, Patient"The wait times are longer. My very first appointment, I waited two and a half hours before anything got done or got started, and that's very frustrating when you're already there for five or six hours getting treatment."
— Cindy Morris, Patient"It was very reassuring to have the same doctor. You build a relationship of trust when things are so destabilizing. You want someone who has followed your case from the very beginning."
