This is my dad’s words : I called for the nurse for help, took more than an hour and a half, and they are rude, when I was nothing but kind to them, they should be working a toll booth not dealing with the public

McColl’s compares favorably with a five star hotel. Everyone was absolutely great and they do what they are supposed to do. They all did everything very well!!!
