I've been a customer of this dealer for many years. Every time I visit, I learn something that…read morewill help me with my machines, or new tricks that I didn't know before. The staff is very curtious and helpful.

I brought in an older machine (new to me). It's a very good quality Pfaff. They told me it was "not…read morerepairable" "too much rust" and twice suggested I sell it for scrap. Fortunately I knew this machine was too good to give up on it. I found a different service person, and got it fully functional in a week, with no parts needed (except a bobbin part.) It would have been a crime to sell this machine for scrap. They clearly don't have the best repair people at all.

They are absolutely awesome! I have been going there for about 3 or 4 years. I mentioned to them…read moreabout having severe PTSD and cannot tolerate pain whatsoever. They made sure and did excellent job with numbing gel and Novacane. They told me that if at any point whatsoever that I feel uncomfortable, they will be more than happy to take a brief time out and also do more numbing. I found that the people who do my cleaning where senior students who were getting closer to graduation. In my opinion, you could tell that they really cared a lot about doing a great job. If they don't do a great job, they don't get good grades or graduate. And they are closely monitored by Senior dentists with a ton of experience. And even though Senior dentist have a fantastic bedside manner, if you will. One of the senior students was Gretchen. I'm sure she'll be graduating soon and you may not be able to schedule her. However, I continually told Senior staff that she did a stellar job of keeping me calm, keeping me from a feeling any pain, and doing a superb job with the cleaning itself. I also had Dr Li do a root canal on one of my front teeth. It was a tricky problem. He tried twice from the bottom and it did not work. So, we had to go from the top (through the gums) into the tooth, doing a root canal that way. I was completely and utterly terrified that I would be in horrific pain. He and his assisting staff made me unmeasurably calm and relaxed, and I did not feel a single thing of pain the entire time. I can only tell you that I have had an absolutely fabulous experience from cleaning, to having surgery, their bedside manner, professionalism, and all things in between. Do NOTE: they do not have the nitrous oxide gas at the school. I'm not sure exactly why but you should know this. HOWEVER - you should also know that I almost did not go there because I have always required having gas with my severe PTSD. I am certainly glad that I did choose to go there, because they did an absolutely amazing job in helping me feel calm, and I was being professionally cared for buy a very positive and friendly staff. I cannot recommend them enough.

I wouldn't send my dog here. The staff is utterly incompetent, and I pity ANYONE desperate enough…read moreto try for this place. I hope the monsters that work here lose their licenses, this was without a doubt the worst care experience I've had in my entire life.

I'll update my reviews since some of their policies have changed…read more They allow make up lessons now if your kid is sick! As a parent, this really helped relieve some of the stinging of the sticker shock. They started taking teacher consistency, more seriously, and I think it is made a huge difference. No more cycling of teachers as much. It's a warm pool, warm locker room, and Good curriculum where your kid will make progress. There's lots of repeating of levels, but that's true at any swim school. To avoid that, you just need your kid to have tons of pool time outside of lessons. They have a few family open swim times a month but not a lot, you almost need a gym membership with pool access such as at the YMCA in addition to foss lessons if you want to avoid repeating lots of levels. It's still crazy expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have yet to find another swim place that can produce the results that Foss can.

We faced the daunting task of teaching our son to swim. He likes to splash around in the pool with…read moreus holding him, but swimming is something different. We came to Foss as it was highly recommended. First off, it is hard to even get in here. They announce their courses (a slate of weekly sessions stretching over a couple of months) and they almost immediately fill up. It's like buying Superbowl tickets. I think the reason is that not many places have a curriculum of very organized, structured, swim teaching programs like Foss. The prices are reasonable, too. Our little guy was a bit scared the first class (groups of 4-5 kids plus 1 parent per kid), but we kept going and the teacher kept working with him and now he loves swim class and even dances around in the lobby when we get there. The facility is clean, well maintained, etc. and the people are super friendly. I highly recommend Foss for teaching your kids to swim.

Ahhh this place makes me want to have kids JUST to be able to send them here!…read more Leonardo's Basement is a crazy amazing workspace with after school programs and summer classes for kids (mostly, some for adults too). It's pretty much a hands on learning space where children get to explore the extents of their creativity! Walking in you feel like you've stumbled into your crazy inventor uncle's basement: filled to the brim with contraptions the students and staff have built, the tools for building, and all the junk you'd need to build more contraptions. They have classes for every kind of interest, from building functioning robots to learning how to fix a bike, to making costumes, to cooking. They take things that children only dream of (like building a giant maze out of 30+ cardboard refrigerator boxes) and turn them into realities. They have such a variety of classes that you just have to check out the schedule to figure out the specifics. If I had to summarize it in one sentence it would be: This is a place that focuses on the joys of creating through building, experimenting, and learning how to take ideas out of your brain, put them on paper, and then make them physical objects. For the grown-ups they also offer some classes on making things, through the affiliated Studio Bricolage (linked on their website). We were told to check this place out by many members of the design/tinker community here and after seeing it for myself this afternoon I'm really happy to know a place like this exists.

Been here a few times with the kids. It is easy to navigate, has a decent amount of stuff to do,…read moreand the lifeguards are on point. It isn't Great Wolf Lodge, it is a manageable size, and has all the things you need - including nachos with the terrible but delicious cheese (that is so wrong yet so right). My kids like bouncing back and forth between the pool with the slides (a walk-in kind) and the lap pool nearby that is more your traditional pool. Prices are reasonable. Its a great way to burn some energy for a few hours.

So you've got this rec center in the middle of the hood. It offers all kinds of things for people…read morein the neighborhood. Playground, basketball, volleyball, yoga, exercise equipment, etc. are all offered and more. But it is the lap pool and swimming I'm writing about that is so awesome. A lightly chlorinated pool. That's right. They have a different filtration method here using sphagnum moss which significantly reduces the amount of chlorine in the water. There is nothing better then getting out of a pool and NOT smelling like a chlorine tablet. Less burning of the eyes and itching of the skin. A win all around. Plus they open @ 6:30am some days for you early morning risers and open it up from 5:30-7pm on other days (see website for schedule). Plus if you got the toddlers and young kids, there is the water park, 2 water slides, and a shallow pool to get them acclimated. Me likey.

At first things were fine and I went to in…read moreperson motorcycle class but had to leave 1 hour in to go to the ER, and later has to have surgery. The coach was nice enough to give me a phone number to reschedule but...this is where it starts. They are impossible to get a hold of or work with. At first they texted me instead of calling me and they MIGHT reply once a day, and it seems to be someone else at times. They told me to sign up online but I had explained to them I already did in the past but I had to leave for the ER and that I didn't want to pay the 350 dollars again. I told them what I had been through over text but they never replied after that. Later they apologized and gave me an email to message and I wrote everything that had happened to me and why I left and that I'm just trying to reschedule, but once again. I never got a reply. There was a point where they texted me between 9:00 to 9:30pm (while I was at work) on a Friday night to show up to class the next day which would be at 7:30am. I told them I work nights and over the weekends so I couldn't so I asked for specific dates that i looked up on their website and, once again, they never replied to me. Granted this is not the proper order of the timeline here but I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say. At this point I feel at least 250 dollars was stolen from me and I recommend all to give their money to any other motorcycle school. I hope this help.
