Everyone was so courteous and efficient. I got in quickly. My experience with Dr. Fonbah was excellent. His explanations were very easy to understand. I felt comfortable due to his friendly and professional manner. The best experience I have had seeing a new Dr. He put me at ease explaining my hospital tests results and was very reassuring. I feel we are a team in my getting the best medical care. Excited my heart is good. I look forward to seeing him next yr. Very clean and pleasant facility to be in.

My appointment was canceled after sitting in waiting room for 40 minutes I was told that my insurance wasn't accepted... I waited three weeks for this appointment. I should have been notified before my appointment time so I could've found another provider... This was bad business and inconsiderate of one's health... Never will I refer a friend.. You guys need a better system

It was my first time to come to the new medical center and I wasn't sure about where to come, that is, if the clinic would be in a building separate from the hospital. But as we arrived, the signs directed us well. It was nice that the parking was free. There was no soap in the ladies' restroom, but the receptionist apologized and gave me some hand sanitizer.
