"Well, there you have it. The older woman who does injections (a short, dark-haired woman) who treats people terribly (and clearly enjoys and revels in the disrespectful treatment of patients) now not only has to be encountered when you unfortunately need an injection, but also right at the entrance when they're taking your vital signs. It's as if providing bad service is rewarded at this clinic. Otherwise, all the staff—security, reception, doctors, and nurses—are excellent."

"If I could give a negative score to this place I'll do it. They thing they are providing a service as a favor while the reality is that we pay a lot of money for this "service"."
