Having an office in Camden is dangerous for your patients and those who come to visit patients. The walk getting from the parking garage to the offices was no easy for a heart patient. There needs to be security in there and the patient shouldn't be charged to park in the lot. Having a office in Cherry Hill, Marlton, Voorhees or Berlin would be much safer
