Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?

The facility was okay, waiting room crowded due to the fact that 2 procedures are done and I don't know how many Dr's use the facility. Even the back room where you are preparing for your procedure is full and the second time I went I had to wait for a operation room, or a OR room.

Doctors are great! The staff if bad they are slow you the patient have to wait at least one hour standing. The upfront lady is terrible she rather talk to her coworkers than attend one. Sadly to report this but it is very bad of the receptionist to miss treat us.
