Pros
Staff are friendly.
Cons
Charting is an absolute mess. Worst Meditech build I've ever seen. Obnoxious amount of time spent covering for what I assume are problems they've been sued or fined for, I have no other explanation for how tedious it is.

Pros
Savannah was truly perfect. Knowledgeable, responsive, caring, informative, and honest. I didn’t feel like I was apart of a sales scheme. She truly put me at ease during the process. I felt like she had my back and would work to find me what I was looking for. I look forward to working with American Traveler in the future.
