Medication management concerns were raised

A couple of reviews raise serious concerns about medication handling.

Two reviews describe problems tied to medication administration, including issues with a medication list and not receiving a specific medication as expected. Both complaints also mention broader communication breakdowns among medical staff, the office, and families. These accounts stand out because they go beyond general service dislikes and focus on care accuracy and safety.

Staffing gaps affected wait times

Some reviews cite staffing turnover or short staffing that affected responsiveness.

One review flags staff turnover as a concern, and another describes a shortage of staff that led to long waits for help.
