"They were excellent listening to what I had to say regarding her health. I appreciated how they spoke to both of us together at the end of the appointment and make sure we were both aware of what the next steps are."
— Adler Geriatric Assessment Center patient family member"Their 'apology' was more like 'sorry that you feel that way/sorry that you're dissatisfied,' rather than apologizing for any medical errors made. It was disingenuous."
