I was referred to this place and everything seemed to be going fine at first. I took the test for the job I wanted and then got drug tested. The test came back negative and it wasn't explained why. I was only told that I should try to get another test taken and have those results faxed to their office. Every place that could test me weren't open until monday. I had to have someone pull strings to allow me to have until 3pm today.
I got to the first clinic (25 minutes away) to find out that I needed to be sent with paperwork before they could even see me. I then called up Heidi (the person I've been dealing with) and told her about it. She played dumb and then directed me to another place. I got there and found out after explaining my situation to the receptionist, I would need to pay $55 dollars essentially because I take antidepressants and bipolar control medications. I've wasted so much money and time on this for nothing. please go anywhere else if you take any sort of mood medication because this bs is a waste of time.

Treat military members like people not some person who doesn't belong anywhere. As far as staff, your staff are nice. Your standards on how you deal with military leave is poor. I should have never been released no matter the conditions especially after giving my orders or releasing information regarding me leaving for military purposes. Don't recommend.
