This is for both clinic's (Flora and Louisville) Dr's act as if u are a burden and really dont want you there. Will not listen to you when u explain what is wrong. Their cure for everything is ibuprofen and xrays. Then you get told they will call u in 24 to 48 hours with the results. Hmmm been over 4 days and still haven't heard anything, even when I called and left a message for the nurse on day 3. I'll be finding a new Dr.

I was in the same day surgery center today, as I have been several times. Excellent care from all the staff. Very caring & concerned. Knowing I will receive excellent care & treatment relieves a lot of stress. They answer any questions I may have. Dr. Kumar is my primary care physician. He's always very thorough & very concerned about his patients. Highly recommend CCH
