Customer Reviews

Super Easy to Schedule

Super easy to schedule and get what you need, weather for a job, personal, or court ordered! I believe I spoke with Justine who was helpful in answering all my questions and stayed on the phone with me until she was sure I was all set and got the emails I needed.

Mandy Ryan - 12/14/2024

ADT was able to get me the best tests

Dealing with allegation’s of drug use that completely false is stressful, ADT was able to get me the best tests, going back the farthest in the same day with as little hassle as possible, I spoke with 1 person and wasn’t transferred once, and they took my payment, and got me my work order for a clinic as close as possible for the service I needed. 5*

Christopher Hansis - 12/19/2024

Saved My CDL!

Time was running out before my Cdl got downgraded because of a violation I had on clearinghouse. I couldn't find an employer to send me for my return to duty test, but these guys had my test scheduled and done in the same day! They saved my cdl. Thank you again!

Michael Williams - 12/2/2024

Smooth and Seamless

I use their service for new hire and DOT employee's. Spoke with Taisha Walker this morning, and she was very helpful. She made the process smooth and seamless.

Christina Galdos - 3/9/2025

This is by far the easiest

This is by far the easiest way to get my lab work ordered and paid for. The phone calls are short and to the point. They don’t try to push extra sales on you and when I walk in to the clinic I simply show my donor pass and with in a matter of minutes I’m done. I will continue to use ADT in the future.

Jason Jackson - 7/19/2025
