“While Alexa was very sweet and professional I am a bit taken back by the dirty lab coat. I understand that it was the end of the day however her lab coat appeared to have been over worn with tan/light brown ring around the collar. While the facility is antiquated again it was not clean. I would otherwise recommend if overall was cleaner”
