Do you have any favourite customer success stories from your time at LetsGetChecked?


Recently I had called a customer to deliver a test result. She was an elderly woman who was taking our diabetic and heart check. The customer expressed how grateful she was for our service. Over the course of this pandemic, she had been avoiding a visit to her physician’s office in fear of exposure to COVID-19. She had expressed how our service had really taken a load off her mind as she was able to send our results to her physician without having to make a trip to the office. During this unprecedented time, LetsGetChecked has provided a necessary service for so many people across the globe and I am proud to be a part of it.
