Customer Reviews

Super Easy!

Super easy to set up an appointment through the phone. They walked me through all the steps and found me a location right near my house. Would definitely recommend!

Aldita Lumaj - 1/17/2025

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

Extremely pleasant

Initially Torrie helped me but I needed to call back. When I called back Kayla stepped in and finished my order. Both were extremely pleasant over the phone and provided wonderful customer service. Kudos to them!

Brynne Beverly - 4/19/2024

Hassle Free Experience

It was easy to make the arrangements to get to someone in regards to renewing my DOT medical certificate. They took care of everything over the phone which made my experience hassle free. I will definitely be using them again and you should too.

Jim Raymond - 10/18/2024

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.
