Friendly and to the point! I did feel like he was interested in moving quickly, though he did as if I had any questions and answered the ones I had. I just mentally noted that I probably want to take time to think about any questions I might have before future appointments in order to make sure I actually ask them with the window being rather short.

When you are called to make the appointment, they need to tell you exactly what’s going to be required of you and if you need to bring a driver or not. Other than that, I had a very good experience.
