Local Guide · 2017★★★★

I was in rehab for 7 days. The billing for my medication were for 30 days thru a pharmacy service. I have tried to reach someone to correct this.

Rehab patient · 2022☆☆☆☆

This place is very short staffed and you can NEVER get through to the nurses station and NO one ever returns phone calls.
