This practice provided me with a wheel chair as I was on crutches. They even saw my husband and I out to the parking garage as I had not thought of using Valet service. Next time, I will remember Valet service so that my husband and I don't have to work at finding a parking space which isn't too far from an elevator. This office was excellent in every way.
