Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital: "The staff at the desk are inadequate personel. I was told to bring my parking ticket to the desk after I have been here for 2 hours. I waited another 20 minutes with the staff ignoring me. I finally told why I was standing here and was told " someone will be with u soon" and returned to ignoring me. How terrible are u trained to u provide service. " - Richard
