“The lab tech was late arriving for my appointment. It would have been helpful if the staff had told me she was at another site, and was delayed. When she arrived, she was very friendly, as always, and very efficient. I have nothing negative to say, just wish I had known why the wait was long. It was the first appointment of the day.”
