  18. If testing can be fun….. This was fun. I was given an explanation of what was going to happen every step of the way. For 2/3 of the tests I was laying down or sitting in a comfy chair!

  44. I’d give zero stars if I could. I couldn’t even get past the referral process. Agent was too focused on their “one size fits all” policy for me to even make the appointment for my elderly mother. We’ll find another provider or go without the treatment.
