Scheduled a covid test. Show up to the testing site no one here the number they give you is over the whole state and they don't have a way to get ahold of this location according to them. If I could give negative stars I would.

Nice office space with a large waiting room and a decent amount of parking right by the front door. I went here to check on a flu shot, and to check on other vaccines for traveler's to other countries. I have since had many updated vaccines and have my International Certificate of Vaccination, which I had to get from a travel doctor specialist along with those required vaccine shots. This place only had 1 other customer in the building, so we were quickly next in line. The process and cost of various vaccines is posted, and depending on your insurance and doctor, this may or may not be the lowest cost place to get your shots. They do offer free shots various times of the year, and I imagine many school kids without insurance probably get their shots here. Overall the staff was nice, knowledgeable, helpful, and in a happy mood. This can be a good place to go for various medical testing at a low cost.
