All in all, everyone was so friendly. I liked the self check-in machine because itt saved me from waiting in a long line. Every person in the staff was very pleasant. I was in at 3:30 and out at 4. Which is like a record in doctor time. That included the x-ray!

I feel that the follow-up care could have been explained a little better.
