Very rude. Acted like we were inconveniencing them. Took my daughter in for a TB test for work, they Wouldn't answer any questions about the test. Did not inquirie about any health information before administering test. Administered the TB test right in the waiting room. I found this place very unprofessional and felt it was unsanitary to administrate test in waiting room. Will never go back.
