That woman does not know how to draw blood. She left a bad mark and a bubble on my right arm. Chris on the other hand is wonderful. The flu shot he gave me did not hurt at all

The receptionist needs to stop chewing gum! & speak softly for HIPPA reasons.
I have sent a portal message to clarify drs. Recommendation. The printout given is a generic form w/o the information I need.
He’s a great guy . Perhaps the staff needs more training
