Memorial Herman
I wanted to let you know what great service we receive here at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital on our plants. I have been in the Maintenance Department for 10 years and deal with the complaints etc from a lot of staff member and the first couple of years we has a lot of complaints about dead plants, flying gnats etc. so we changed companies after many calls to the company. We used another company and had the same problems. Then we discovered Silversand Services formerly KHS. Immediately there was a difference. Our plants were alive, no problem with insects. The person we have that comes out to service our plants, Adilia, is a dream come true. She takes such care of our plants just like they were her own. The phone calls I received about the plants literally stopped and now no one complains. In fact they think of Adelia as one of our employees and everyone has nothing but high remarks about her. Thank you so much for such great service. I would recommend you to the best.
