May 19, 2025REDWOOD HEALTH CENTERMy physical check was done by Melissa, and I felt that she provided slightly more information about my overall health than the last physical check. While I am not pleased to hear that my overall health hasn't improved, I was glad she told the truth and recommended that I get an overall check up done at the clinic (blood and urine test included). I want to thank her for time spent on getting the physical check done to be able to move forward with my employment at USGS.
