I would give 5 stars except for they put something in my eyes which burned for a long time. They should have advised me beforehand that this would happen. Also a male technician did not have a professional demeanor. He did niot introduce himself and he seemed very bored and distracted. He is not someone I am comfortable with putting liquid in my eyes
