Got a call to confirm my appointment. First they hung up. So I called back. When I did, they asked if I was coming I said no, I will not. Because I found what I needed online. Then she rudely says “WELL WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US” I said listen I just woke up from your call you hung up on. I would stay away from this place at all costs.
