From the front desk staff to Ms. Watkins and her nurse, [...] , every member of the clinic team fosters a remarkably welcoming and supportive environment.Although I appreciate the convenience of the on-site lab, my experiences have been concerning and disppointing. On the safety side, I'm not always asked to verify my name and date of birth, and once a test ordered by my doctor was unfortunately missed. Visually, the main workspace appears unorganized-during one visit, the urine sample deposit space was completely full. While some of the technicians are wonderfully friendly, the team often feels stretched thin and short-staffed.
