My toddler had been hospitalized two days with respiratory distress. She was discharged needing a nebulizer for albuterol treatments. I had been warned in the past to never use NARE, but due to it being Christmas Eve and no other DME provider being open, I had no other option. Blue Cross of Alabama was closed and NARE couldn't verify that our deductible had been met. (It had been met and I told them this.) They explained if we cash paid and they filed with insurance and it paid the claim, NARE would refund us. We opted to pay cash because our baby needed the nebulizer; she couldn't wait for Blue

I had the worse experience waited over 3 hours for a nebulizer for my sick 1 year old and did NOT get one. They said they had to call insurance and they claimed they was still waiting for the insurance but I went outside and called insurance and found out in 10 minutes that they was out of network and wasnt going to pay. Went back inside and told them to give me my paperwork going somewhere else was tired of waiting. Dont recommend going here for anything!

My experience has been very good. I had to have a lift recliner which they ordered from the company. It took a little over a week to come in and was delivered by the store manager and a tech. Very friendly, courteous and professional. I would recommend them.

Very difficult people to deal with. Ordered item for me without getting all needed info. Tried to speak with General manager Roberson i think was his name, refused to speak with me. Ask for someone over him lady named Marlyn would not give me name or number. I see why their reviews are not very good. I try to shop local but these people make it very hard. If anyone knows who owns this rude place let me know please. I cant believe anyone would allow this unprofessional manner to continue

They went out of their way to help me. Even though they didn't accept my insurance they called around till they found someone who did. And even fax my script and insurance card to the people who took it. So I didn't have to drive to Athens the night before my surgery. They were very caring and nice.
