I was impressed by the level of service provided throughout the process. The initial call I made was received with empathy and accurate guidance. Furthermore, when I arrived, the process was clearly outlined, there was no crowding, the ambience was calming, and the nurses were absolutely caring in their approach and execution of the test. Kudos to the entire team.
We had our PCR at Crane last Thursday. Booked appointments were in and out wonderful. Ready for our trip to UK Saturday great!
Most definitely one of the highlights of my long stay - getting my departure test at the Crane Barbados Covid Lab. Spacious, quick attentive staffers, amazing Doctor Ince who did a 10 second countdown as she took the nasal swab and a very relaxing walk on the grounds as I chose to await the results. A certificate was also emailed to me. I loved it all.
