August 14, 2013Thomas H.Verified patient
What a joke! Very unprofessional and tiny waiting room with distasteful staff. What kind of business is this?! I told him over and over I do not want an x-ray and he took them anyway! I informed him that it was my hip muscle was in pain and laughed off anything more invasive than an x-ray. Thanks for nothing.
