"All staff was beyone (sic) exceptional, I will most definitely be interested in more studies. They were all polite, professional and even nice to just talk to. Thank you."
"Our comfort is paramount, smaller needles were obtained to help w. infusions because of scar tissue buildup, supplies were in room & ready for us when we arrive. Concerns are addressed & changes made if needed. We are made to feel important & necessary to the study & medicine & part of the team. People SMILE and laugh. It's restful to sit back.”
