“Each call usually takes up an hour of my time, and I have to call multiple times to get anywhere, if at all. Recently, my orders have been cancelled without warning or notification, paperwork issues are still not resolved days after my order was supposed to ship, leaving us without supplies. I am looking forward to not ever having to use this company again!”

I have ever dealt with. Each person you speak with at this company has a different story. It took three months for them to send my son’s medical supplies and they only sent one months worth. I’m now starting at ground zero to try to get more supplies. They are waiting for doctors notes, once again. Do not use this company!”
Edgepark
“Avoid this company at all costs. You will be kept on hold forever, the customer service reps are rude and do nothing, the supervisors do nothing. If there is an issue with insurance, they do not notify you. If they are back ordered, they do not notify you or check other warehouses for supplies. Please please please avoid because if you’re needing their services you clearly already have life challenges and this will just add to them.”

- Helpful support from Registered Nurses and trained product experts
