Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the service for being efficient, fast, and reliable, often highlighting the quick turnaround times for results. Many people commend the excellent communication throughout the process, noting that staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and provide clear, concise answers to questions. The overall user experience is described as smooth, easy, and stress-free. However, some customers expressed dissatisfaction with the clarity regarding weekend processing of results, as their expectations for 24-hour services were not met on those days. A few other people also noted concerns that the information provided for certain tests did not fully convey that conclusive results sometimes required additional steps or participants.

Good overall service

Good overall service....Only issue I have is that they claim to get your package a few days after it actually arrives, so not really a 24 hour turnaround.
