I like the care staff that I have met. However, if you have business hours posted on the front door and website etc then maybe keep them. Showed up at 11:30am on Saturday to drop off my daughter’s sample and low and behold no one was there. Update the information if the hours have changed or honor the hours.

Especially if you're like me and have to take time off work or pull a kid out of school for appointments.
Correction to my review To be more accurate, only one staff member I felt made me feel “less than welcome.” The inability to speak with a live voice that had the ability to listen to reason! That’s what my issue was but my adolescent mind couldn’t see it.
