My neighbor used this service and advised me of how he was pleased with the end results. This is a great place for you if the animal does not want to leave the house. The doctors are wonderful and the front end staff is friendly (always a plus).If you are looking for a pet doctor of an exotic this is even a better place to be. My neighbor had his Guinea pig and lizard looked at by them. Their prices are reasonable and I have not a problem in the two years Next time I need at home service I will contact them.

Giant has many locations. Each Giant store has just about the same thing in them. However, with many locations you can try another store. I have two stores that I go to because they are only about two or three miles apart. This one is a larger store. It is located in a shopping center. They have plenty of parking and the sales people here are just as nice. I think one of the qualifications to work at Giant is a good personality. The other great thing about this store is that there are other stores around it. I can go in here and check for my cookies and cupcakes marked down and then hit one of the other stores for their mark downs. Keep in mind that these are grocery stores and that they will be marking down food items. They do however have some other items. I have gotten lucky and bought raven Christmas ornaments here marked down. The Ravens are out football team. Again if you don't find what you want here there are many other locations to try. One is bound to have what you want.

I had a terrible time finding a pediatric dentist in the area, when I finally came upon Bright Smiles. So glad I did! We've always felt welcome at Bright Smiles, and never have to wait very long to be seen. My son is completely comfortable, and even gets excited when he knows he's going in for his checkup and cleaning. We've never had a problem getting an appointment, and even were accomodated with a last minute change in the past. The treasure chest for the kids gets two thumbs up from my son, he can't wait to go pick out a goody when he's done. The dentist and her staff take the time to explain what they are doing as to not overwhelm or scare the kids, and I think that's a rare thing to find in the age of rushed HMO doctors.
Another benefit is that the whole family can see the same dentist, as she isn't just for pediatrics! They even have some late evening and occasional Saturday hours, which gets two thumbs up from ME, as I don't want to take off work or have my son miss school for routine appointments.

Our family stayed at this suite hotel recently and were very pleased. They have different size suites from studios to deluxe ones. Ours had a decent sized refrigerator with a small kitchenette (no stove though). The hotel was located about a 10 minute walk from Inner Harbor. The staff was very kind and even offered our family tickets to the Orioles ball game which our kids really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend booking through their website because they offer packages at rates that are less than their rates for just a room if you booked it over the phone. Their site's rates were cheaper than all the discounted travel websites. We enjoyed the Aquarium package and the Family Movie Night package. The suite was roomy enough and we would definitely stay again.

A friend at work reffered me to this place. So recently when a stray showed up at our door we took the cat to this place. Making an appointment was painless and easy and we got one within the week. The price was very reasonable and the Vet's and staff were very helpful. Now we have a new member of the family as a result of the referral my friend gave me. The staffs attitude and attention to my needs was what I liked. That all by itself would be enough reason to take my pets here and not somewhere else.

You don't always get to choose a hospital. Most people I know, when they need emergency care, go to the closest one. When my father had a heart attack he wasn't at home, so he ended up at Sinai Hospital (not necessarily the closest to where he was, but the closest that could provide the emergency medical care he needed).
Over the next four months, my family learned a lot about this hospital. In those four months, my father was in four different wards and had I don't even remember how many surgeries. The first was an emergency quadruple bypass--obviously a success since he ended up at the hospital for four months. He also had several GI surgeries and surgery to put in (and later remove) a trache tube.
It's hard to review a hospital because there are so many factors involved. Overall, we were impressed. The facility was nice, parking was tight but not impossible (depending on the time of day) and everyone from the parking attendant to the nursing assistants were friendly and understanding. I was especially impressed with all of the cardiac-related nursing staff--these women and men went out of their way all the time to keep my father on the road to good health. I can't say the same for the nursing staff in the general recovery area--they were slow to respond, didn't anticipate needs, and in one really bad instance the nurse on duty did nothing at all in the 12 hours after he had feeding tube surgery. She even refused him pain medication and refused to call his surgeon to ask about options for pain relief. The therapy services staff was also just bad. He was supposed to receive speech/swallowing therapy and physical therapy and the therapists rarely showed up. The speech therapist refused point blank to provide the swallowing therapy he needed to get him off the feeding tube--this was the cause for his four-month stay.
Overall, I would recommend Sinai. They got my father through a near-fatal heart attack and you can't argue with success like that. But if you are there, stay on top of everyone--ask questions and make sure you are getting the treatment you need. Don't be afraid to lodge official complaints--it seems to be the only way to get things done at time.

St. Agnes isn't as well known in the Baltimore area as some of the other hospitals, even ones of comparable size, but as it is the closest one to our house, it is where we take the kids when we need an emergency room, and we've had one inpatient stay on the pediatric floor.
For emergency care, I've been very impressed. They have a separate pediatric triage area so you are seen almost immediately (our wait in the general waiting room has never been more than 20 minutes) and a separate pediatric area in the ER for treatment. The doctors we've seen were all very good, both at dealing with children (screaming and sick in the middle of the night) and their ailments. The technicians--x-ray, respiratory, etc.--are also very good with children. I've always left feeling that we got the best treatment possible with clear instructions of what to do next.
For the inpatient stay, I wasn't as impressed. The care was reasonably good, but the rooms were uncomfortable, the food wasn't appealing to children, and they didn't make very many accommodations for the age of the patient. My son, for example, was two years old and had his right hand out of commission because of an IV, so he was having real difficulties drinking anything because he couldn't handle the cups with one small hand. As a result, he was beginning to get dehydrated but the hospital wasn't able to come up with a cup that a two year old *could* handle with one hand. The hospital staff also didn't' t let us know about things that could have made my son's stay more comfortable--we discovered a playroom down the hall on our own, but didn't know that a tv/VCR was available until we were checking out.
I will continue taking my children there for emergency care, but should we ever need to stay overnight, I will try another facility.

This Walgreens also marks down the candy first. They are a little more knowledgeable about coupons at this location. The store is also I think a little bigger. This Walgreens usually has full shelves. They seem to order in more merchandise. I have been very luck with this location. I picked up Elvis Presley ornaments at this store last year for seventy five percent off. I am hoping to get something good this year. Usually I only get candy last year was new. I gave the ornaments to a girlfriend of mine this year. Shop early and get the good deals. Why wait till Black Friday start now. The parking lot is large and there is always a place to park. The sales people are alright. I usually only shop at Walgreens for clearance or items that are on rebate. I feel that if you can't give good customer service than you don't deserve my business. I also will not do with out a good deal because of the service, however I will not spend any extra money at this store. Check out the after Christmas sale it will be worth it, especially if you have kids.
