A: It was not too bad of a wait time as my appointment was at 2:00 and I had arrived at 1:50 to get paperwork done. It was 2:20 by the time they could verify my insurance and get me in a room. I mean, that's half an hour right there but you kind of expect that at any doctor's office. My nurse was super sweet, I wish I had grabbed her name. She was awesome with conversation and actually listened. I had told her that I had been in Utah before where they basically throw prescription pills your way when you mention anything wrong. She said she had noticed that and it's a common issue. She said that in Vegas they're pretty strict with medicine, I even had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't try to abuse any pills they prescribe... I didn't want to be on pills and told the nurse that. I wanted to come here because I heard that they were more holistic. The doctor came in after waiting another 20 mins and did the same thing as doctor in Salt Lake. I was prescribed the same type of pill I was given in Utah... WHY? ? She did do a quick checkup and noticed something that hadn't been noticed before, so I do appreciate that. I was supposed to get a referral for a cat scan but have yet to hear of that so my problem really was treated the same as it was in Utah... Give em pills and they'll be better. -_- I was there for a total of 2 hours, only to actually be seen by the doctor for probably 15 minutes total. OH, and I forgot to mention that she just ANSWERED HER CELL PHONE in the middle of us having a conversation about depression and anxiety. This place is no different than any other doctor that I try to avoid.

A: CASH ONLY. Ok, I'd forgotten about this restaurant. They moved a while ago from their SoScott location (that may have been in Tempe) on McKellips. So I basically forgot about them. I was searching for this restaurant on Yelp/Google after a discussion about my taste in MX food. Come to find out, when Huauchinango reopened in the new location, the person that submitted this business page on Yelp spelled the name wrong! So my search would turn up nothing on Google and Yelp. I figured the resto was out of business. Then like magic, another Yelper mentioned it in Yelp Talk. I caught the misspell by a Yelper today and searched on that and bam... IN BUSINESS! Yes, this is some really good food from a bonafide-hole-in-the-wall joint. Makes me wanna do the happy dance when I used to eat their tamales. So of course, after finding them in the search today, via a Yelper mention, I knew I had to go here tonight! I'd waited for 2 years! No tamales as they were out and would be making more for the next morning. I will return soon for the tamales. I'll stop in for lunch this time or, call ahead to make sure they have them. So, no tamale tonight --- that's ok, I stuffed my face with a couple tacos. I had the carnitas and the beef tongue tacos. Both delicious and yummy. I ordered chicken enchiladas for lunch tomorrow. In true pig-out fashion, I took a bite of that and the enchiladas are far better than I remembered them being when they were on McKellips. Just the right amount of salt-ness with enchilada sauce and cheese on top. I top everything with something spicy. their spicy habanero salsa adds the right amount of kick to it. Also on my to have-again list from Huauchinango would be the mole (mo'lay). I would easily give this play 5 stars if I could drink alcohol there and they don't accept credit cards!!! Oh Lord, please get the Square or something! However, after I'm reminded how good the tamales are, I may come back for an update next week. Stay tuned. Oh Yeah... CASH ONLY.

A: The scenery views are gorgeous! It's the only reason why I bumped it up one more star: cuz of the views. The "tour" itself was terrible, more like non-existent. The price for the tour, entrance fees, bus shuttles, food were over priced. First off, the bus ride was terrible. We kinda knew that the bus was jankier than the tour bus we took going there, especially since the windows weren't completely sealed. It seemed like the windows were about to fall off the bus entirely. Any how, there was this one stretch where we were just going through paved dirt with big rocks protruding here and there, making the ride extremely bumpy and stuff started falling off the upper compartments. To make things worse, a car on the opposite side of the road zoomed past us, stirring up dust everywhere...even INSIDE the bus. Talk about a literal dust bowl in your tour bus. That was fun...everybody hacking away, while others were grabbing for whatever napkin, tissue, paper, plastic BAGS, to cover their mouths with. Then upon arrival, there wasn't too much to see. I mean, the views were great, don't get me wrong, but that's nature. I am referring to the native american dance. They seemed so lethargic...And all we saw were them going about in a circle, shuffling their feet. We were waiting for 10 mins to see if they would change their dance a lil, maybe add some hand motions, but I kinda knew that they wouldn't be since one of the women (of two dancers) was already holding a water bottle with both her hands. How can you dance while holding onto something unless you weren't going to use it? Guano Point: Where we got to eat the food...wasn't at all special. It was more of an American meal, but overpriced. The view was, once again, amazing, but you would think that since they charge us so much, why don't they do something special...I mean, there are many areas that you can go into Grand Canyon for free, and you can experience the same views and such, but if you wanted to charge people, at least do something to make it memorable.

A:
I decided to go with Shasta Pools because they had originally constructed my pool when my house was built in 1987 (I've been in the house less then a year) and almost all the reviews online were positive. The sales guy came out with the original blueprints to my pool and gave me 3 estimated, plain plaster, quarters plaster and pebble tec. He included an upgraded drain in my estimated and said for the rest of February there was an additional 10% off. I also knew there a few leaks in my pool equipment, a gasket and a crack etc that I said I wanted fixed and that was suppose to be included in the estimate. We settled on $5,500 for the work (about a 12K gallon pool 30' x 15' and 5.5 feet deep in the middle, a play pool). There was good communication to start and the strip went fast followed by inspection alternating days until the work was complete. That is about all the good I have to say, they started the job quick and finished quick. There were a few little things that weren't too professional. The plumber left an empty can of spray paint when we was fixing the leaks and the guys that filled my pool took a towel I had hanging on the pool fence and tied it around the hose. There was also some other debris on the side that was not cleaned up. When the supervisor came out to add chemicals he noticed the gear box that made the pop up jets cycle was worn out and needed to be rebuilt, he took the piece off and told us to get it rebuilt so we went that day to get it rebuilt. I was glad he noticed that and we got it fixed. *** He took the gear box off and never turned the pump off at the circuit breaker so that night the timer was set and because the piece hadn't been replaced there was basically an open pipe and when the pump turned on the WHOLE pool drained overnight. My wife called me the next morning and said why is the pool empty and I immediately realized what had happened. I called the supervisor and he was kind of shocked but didn't take responsibility for it and just said to fill it back up. We filled the pool back up and he came out to add the chemicals, he was walking me through the pool equipment and said I had to other leaks that had not been fixed, the base of the 6 point water valve had a crack that leaked water when the pump was on and the gasket of the backwash piston had a leak. He said I should get that taken care of. The next day I went to backwash my pool and after that it would leak slowly out whenever I had the pump on. That was my breaking point since I'm a pretty easy guy. The next day I called and complained and outlined the above and I said I originally told the sales person I wanted all leaks fixed, what's the point of paying 5K and not having working pool equipment, at the very least the plumber should have said hey you have these other leaks do you want them fixed or the supervisor should have said that instead of just saying you may want to get that check out. So they gave me an estimate of $400 to fix both and I agreed, they said they would send an addendum before the work could get done but they needed payment now. I paid them and I didn't get the addendum until 2 weeks later. I should note there is horrible communication between the sales team and the construction team, when I called my construction rep he said all he has is the work order to fix 1 original leak and not the original contract I had signed. Another manager said he would send me a check for the water that got wasted on the 2nd drainage that went all into my side yard into my front yard. So they lined up a plumber to come out and fix the other leaks all the while my wife is in labor and gave birth later that night, our friend that was watching out other daughter said the plumber was there, when I got home I went out and checked the work and nothing had been fixed, I called the rep and he said let me check on it, he called back and said the plumbers went out there but the parts they needed in the warehouse were out of stock so they didn't fix it? So he will send out another plumber which happened I think on a Wednesday and I paid him for the fix on the previous Friday. All in all a very frustrating experience where I think I got overcharged, over stressed and lack of communication. Even their pamphlet on how to care for the pool after a replaster isn't complete. There is no mention that if you vacuum the pool it can ruin the finish. After this I really can't recommend Shasta pools, I wanted to like them and other companies are probably just as bad and I'm sure with new pools they are good but their level of customer service and thoroughness leaves something to be desired.
