Outstanding service and such pleasant staff. We were referred here by a physiotherapist as my mother required a compression wrap for her legs. Although it was out of the way we decided to give it a try. Trisha was so helpful and knew exactly what we were looking for. Items ordered arrived in very short order and Trisha was always very accommodating with her time.
