The ladies that have been helping my mom have been the absolute sweetest since day one! They always get her oxygen ready fast and make sure that she has enough! We have never had a problem with anything. Amazing customer service!

Over priced, unfriendly and absolutely not worth stopping unless you have very good insurance and a lot of cash to blow on junk. The three items I purchased here all broke within months. I've since replaced with cheaper, yet better quality from online orders which my insurance covered most of.
