Annual Well Woman Exam

Everyone downstairs was very kind, patient and knowledgeable - explained the process and steps very clearly. This was my first appointment with Salena and I was very pleased - she is very nice and took the time to answer my many questions. I would have given 5 stars, but my last visit at the lab was not as pleasant. The tech was not as friendly or welcoming - didn’t direct me on what she wanted, just expected me to know what to do… I understand she is busy, but getting blood drawn isn’t my favorite thing - a little friendly attitude and smile would have gone a long way.

Blood Draw

Annual Well Woman Exam

I was satisfied with my first time experience with S. Thomas as she asked questions, listened to my responses, and she didn’t rush things. However, I did have to wait 40 minutes in the exam room for my exam and it was not explained as to why I had to wait. I live 35 minutes away, and it took me 30 minutes to get there from my work. Waiting added a significant amount to my overall commute.
