Everyone was wonderful. Dollymariee at the front office was very nice, Jakia the Medical assistant showed me great hospitality and was very professional and well mannered. The Sonographer Wendy was amazing, she took her time with me and made sure everything was done perfectly, she's great. And the provider Plenty welcomed me with a beautiful smile and compliment. I enjoyed her Consult and left home relieved and happy
