Very wonderful people who work the virus testing area. Went smooth with no issues, plus, they all had a great attitude and made me feel comfortable with the testing procedure.

Scheduled an Omicron Booster. The scheduling, reception and timely service were excellent. We were also provided the option to receive a flu shot, if needed. We had already gotten the flu shot a couple of weeks before. Staff very friendly and efficient.
