“I went out of my way to see this provider due to the quality of reviews, but my experience was abysmal. My first appointment I had a wait time of 2 hours. My second appointment was for a sleep study and I was provided a device that did not work and had to schedule a second sleep study. I arrived to pick up the device for my second sleep study as scheduled and was informed that they did not have a device available and I would have to come back again, without a call to inform me of the issue. Needless to say, I will not be returning.”
