Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

STAY AWAY: If you care about your safety and your money do NOT get close to this lab. They took tons of my blood after 4 times try 3 days ago then called me today and asking me to come over for a redo!! I was shocked. I already have my arm bruised so bad from their sampling efforts! And couldn't move it for the past 2 days and now they are telling me they ruined my blood samples and want to do it again. I told them NO, just refund my money if you cant give me the result!! After a lot of calls back and forth their Dr said we can only redo it but we won’t refund your money!! They charged me 400$ to leave these bruises on my hand!!! Worst lab I’ve ever been to.
