"I tried to get the office manager to return my phone call and no one did. When you ask to speak to a manager you automatically get sent to a voicemail. . . Bottom line is getting healthcare on this island is almost impossible and it’s in part to poor providers like this."
— LocalityBiz review by Hattie Marshall"It wasn’t entirely their fault... but we were told by Island Health Care that COVID test results would be returned in 24-36 hours... It’s been 144 hours and counting... I didn’t give one star because everyone was friendly that we engaged with."
