My experience was concerning initially. The day of my procedure they had incorrect information to biopsy on paper. They didn't reprint the paper but crossed it out. I did confirm the correct side for biopsy when I entered the room. Their medical records office does not respond to requests for images. The physician and the room assistant were caring and explained each step in the process.
