    You run a cardiac clinic/hospital without any available wheelchairs for symptomatic patients. We were told there are none available after 1:30-her appt was at 2:00. You need to assist patients in getting to and from the hospital & clinic. This was so disappointing that we won't be back

    The lady downstairs was very rude and acted like she did not have time to help anyone. Everyone else was professional and helpful.
