I would recommend this place to everyone. The staff were very kind and friendly. Vanessa at the front desk was very talkative and informational. Laura/Jessica/Margo/Jeannette and everyone was professional and provided exceptional customer. I was very nervous about getting any procedure that requires anesthesia and the staff and Dr.Mendoza calm my young nerves lol. I appreciate all of you!

Excelente lugar. Lo recomiendo 100 porciento. Maravilloso trato de todo el personal, desde el señor de la entrada, la recepcionista, la que toma los primeros datos, las enfermeras , el anestecista y por supuesto el Dr Luis Lopez que es excelente y lo conocía de la consulta y todo el personal con que tuve contacto. Todos muy cariñosos y brindando un servicio súper especial y maravilloso. Muy agradecida con todos.
