The nurses and doctor were fine, they did a good job. However, when I went to the pharmacy, there was - I could ... I could barely stand up. There was only one chair in the waiting area for the pharmacy, and I had to sit on the floor and wait, and people kept cutting in line in front of me and it was a miserable experience. I thought they were going to call my name and they never did it. It's just your Pharmacy needs to be set up different. They need to have take a number or something like that, and deal with it that way. It just seems kind of chaotic and the lack of chairs in the pharmacy area is terrible, for people who are ... are weak and have problems.

The staff was very caring and professional. The providers addressed all the questions I had and made me feel like I was getting the best care possible. The nurses and other staff were also familiar with my care and provided me with more information I needed. Thanks to all.
