I came in for a screening for a study, having been told over the phone that it would take about 2 hours, that the rest of the appointments would be 1-2 hours, and that it paid $100 per visit. I got there at 9am and read through the study details they game me while I waited. I learned that the rest of the appointments could take up to 3-4 hours each, not the 1-2 hours I was originally told. Then I waited. And waited. They didn't start my actual physical until after 11am. Finally around 12:45pm I was told that in order to complete my screening I would need to go get an xray at an off-site location 20 minutes away. And not only that, but the coordinator was trying to weasel out of paying me the $100, offering only half until I got the xray.

So at this point I've been there almost twice as long as I was told I would be, and I'm being offered half the amount of money I was promised. Because they only have regular business hours I had to take time off work to do this. Plus, the rest of the appointments would have been twice as long as I was originally told, which meant that if I had taken the time off work to do the study I would actually be *losing* money. If they had just been up front with me from the beginning I never would have come in and wasted my time and theirs. Such a disappointment.

Anyway the staff were nice enough. They don't respect your time though. And the place is not clean either. Overall it's really not worth it unless you're desperate.
