In short

Saturday hours start at 7 am and end at 2 pm, which helps anyone tied up on weekdays. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday close at 5:30 pm, and Wednesday and Friday at 2 pm, so a 9-to-5 job takes some planning. Gentle treatment and a clean office come up in the praise, and six patients mention paying through financing.
