Overall an excellent job. Some logistical issues can create occasional issues with wait time. The vast majority of the care team are professional and kind. I've only run into a few rude and unprofessional individuals in the many years I've been going to the facility. Many of the problematic individuals were pharmacy technician I've spoken with on the phone. I'm not sure where they are, perhaps working from home or some centralized location. It would be great if there was a way to report their behavior so corrective action can be taken.
Had to reach audio dept, Martinez. No direct line. First day finally got to a number that didn't answer. Said leave voice mail. I did. Said call me back. After 1 day no call. Second day,call back.im number 59 on list. After long wait,get to make an appointment for Audio to call me back next day at 4:15. Very discouraging.
Fastest I've ever been in and out of an appointment. Everyone was super nice, getting blood drawn was quick and the phlebotomists were very kind and really good at their jobs. I'm glad I moved over to this facility when I moved from the east coast!
