Not the best in general, no roots in the community, and very costly since they are hired through a third party which bills them out at double or triple to going rate. Also, sending everything but dire emergencies to the waiting room is too much of a good thing. They need to send sore throats, earaches, rashes, toothaches and the like there, or to urgent care, but not people in significant pain, vomiting into a bucket and certainly not chest pain as someone posted about 6 months ago. Again, it makes me believe the ER exam rooms are blocked by patients awaiting admission or extremely slow assessments in the ER. As far as administration goes, I can't believe they are unaware of the problems, but likewise I can't believe they don't know how to fix them. I'm afraid that sooner or later they are going to have a medical disaster (which usually involves an illegal immigrant pregnant woman, just as it did in Texas prior to the COBRA act of 1997) that gains media attention and then they'll have real problems
