I love that everything is one way process. Temperature check at the front door.. then make your way to the 4th floor to the check in desk. Order your products . Then go to the 6th floor to self weight in . Move on to check into the lab for your check in or blood draw. Finally walk down the hall to pick up your products and your done .. painless and safe . Great location, perfect customer service. I feel safe and it shows the steps they have taken towards keeping up with Covid protocols
