Went there for a blood draw, nurse instantly asked why I was there, and where I lived. During the process and complained that she couldn't find a vein. Stuck me twice and didn't hit one and said I probably always have to be sticked twice. I have never been stuck more than once for a blood draw. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND couldn't do the job.
