Not sure what I was expecting but it was NOT THIS

My first visit here was to accompany my mother for a surgery. Pre-op appointment was on a Monday

1st red flag, upon walking into the office upstairs there were no available seats, when seats finally became available they were so uncomfortable to sit in. Even the women who had just had procedures were just standing around. (i will say that alot of these women are not even physically able to sit due to surgeries BUT there should be accommodations for them, in a separate area. Yes bloody bandages are normal and drains everywhere but my personal opinion is some patients do not like to be seen that way in a room full of people)

2nd red flag, after about 2 hours of paper work and a 10 minute pre-op visit we were on our way, with no definite time for the surgery the following day. It wasnt until maybe 4-5 pm we received a call to be there at 7am. When surgery day finally arrived we waited for over an hour for someone to even call my mothers name. A nice young lady with either severe allergies or a cold, handed me the after care paper work and prescriptions to take to the nearest drug store. The possibility of this woman having a cold and working with people (without a mask) who are just about to head into a surgery and could get sick was mind blowing to me.

After 3 hours of waiting for an anesthesiologist to become available after 10 am the surgery began. I was surprised to see a call coming from my mother when I was told they would be calling me letting me know she was ready. I was instructed to pull around to the back side of the building next to 2 trash bins to pick up my mother. She was rolled out in a wheelchair and we were on our way. I had never visited an establishment like this, but i expected more. These men/women have traveled and spent thousands to get work done and my mother loves her results but this is simply not a place i'd recommend.
