  6. Client Feedback “The CST float pool has been an exceptional service. The CST members of the float pool are professional, knowledgeable and worked great with the members of the Cardiology Clinic.” Carmen Hall, Cardiology Clinic “Having a CST in our clinic has greatly impacted us in a positive way. Most importantly causing our patients to be cared for in a timely manner while in clinic as well as outside of the clinic. I am very pleased and grateful for this service. It has gotten us through a real “crunch” and has helped ease the stress level of our patients, providers and staff.” Jimmy Thomas, Rheum & Women’s Health “I have used both float pool staff. They are very pleasant to work with. They seem to have no problem with AEHR. My staff are very appreciative of their assistance.” Kathy Poteet, IMG
