I had four screenings with Life Line. I had one around the ankle, cardiovascular, the carotid, and I had one other one. They were real professionals and talented. They were also very polite, very friendly, and attentive. They talked to me in a soft manner. They pretty much told me what they were doing and gave me instructions in a very clear manner. Plus, there was a follow-up call where they asked me some questions. There were reminders about the appointment and maps about how to get to the facility. So, it was almost like being walked step by step from the first contact until you got your results.

The results were thorough though there's one thing I want to ask my doctor about. Also, I had a problem when I was logging in online. It seems like the website wouldn't accept my log in. But about several days later, I got a hard copy in the mail. So, it gave me what I wanted. All in all, the product was well worth the price. It was also a can't-beat deal. The results gave me a lot of comfort and some information on one of the tests so I can have a dialogue with my doctor to get some additional information.

I've talked to several people and told them that this is something they ought to consider. But it looks like it comes at a point where they hear about it, they get information, then they look before they follow through and the screening's been gone from this area. It’s almost like you get a notice when they come in, and it's at a hotel nearby, but it's not like you can go every day of the week or get an appointment. And annually, I'd get a little pamphlet to know that they're going to be in town, so it's not like you can go any month you want to go. Other than that, Life Line's a well-run organization.

    Where I work, I get a physical exam every two years, and once I got over 60, I started having to take blood pressure medicine. I do the Life Line Screening in the year I don't have the physical, and then meet with my primary care doctor. I've done screenings in two different places, and both times, the process was very easy. They gave me an appointment time, and they were right on time on that. I flowed from one station to the next, and they explained everything as they were doing it. It was very pleasant, and it was very professionally done.

    I did the four standard screenings that Life Line offered, which includes the artery and the sonogram on the abdomen, and the quality of the results was good. My primary care doctor looked at the results, and there were a couple of abnormalities. She was commenting, “Oh, this is good.” She asked me if I had gotten a couple others, and I didn't. I said they offered the screenings when I got there. It would have been more money. However, on the 27th, I have a test primary care doctor wants to do based on what she saw on the Life Line Screening results. Depending on people's health condition, Life Line Screening is worth the money. The price is reasonable, and the people are professional. I would recommend them.

    We've gone to Life Line Screening four times. The last time, my husband and I had this guy doing ultrasound, and he was ornery. Most of the people are pleasant, but that guy didn't like his job much. When he wanted to move us, he would tell us or push us. He wasn't a happy worker. The first time we ran into that. Also, I got a good height and weight for the second from the last that we've taken. I'm 5’5” and I usually weigh around 150. It's okay but it doesn't give me a good measurement of that. I knew that wasn't right when I saw that goofy height that they had put on me. I thought Life Line would give me a different score on it when they had the height right, but they weren't that concerned about it. I didn't like that because they should have redid it.

    Our doctor goes by the results. I ended up having some blockage in my carotid and it wasn't that much, but they had it down as that. So, when the doctor checked it, he listened to my neck first but didn't hear it. He said, “You could go ahead and have it rechecked” because of being on Medicare and they would recheck it with that result. So, I did, and when they checked it, I was right on the borderline where it should be checked. They caught my blockage so I could have the surgery right away then. Otherwise, I could have had a stroke. It's well worth it.

    Everybody was very professional, and polite in the testing center. It was pretty quick considering there were half a dozen people coming and going. So I was pleased with that. You have to wait a little bit of time. Because they try to get as many people in as they can for the testing to make it financially viable for them to do it. So you're gonna expect to have to wait a little bit. But it wasn't a long wait. The technicians explained what they were doing and there were quite a few of them, so everybody was on the ball. So I didn't feel uncomfortable thinking if they knew what they were doing. They give you something to read while you're waiting for the other tests. It was very quick with those results. So that was very good, too. I was quite satisfied with the results. The results gave me what I expected them to give me.

    A lot of people who don't have the insurance or even if they have insurance, they don't have stuff to cover the abdominal ultrasound or the one on your neck, I would recommend Life Line. If you're in a car accident and you have to go to the hospital and have major surgery, it's gonna cost tens of thousands of dollars. You could pay your deductible. But to get these tests at various health places, people can't afford that, whereas the Life Line is affordable. At the least, you have a baseline of what's going on.

    I wasn't pleased with the rep. When we first signed up, we were going to do the five screenings plus the other two. We thought it through and decided we didn't want to do that. We only wanna stay with the five. So, we spoke to Life Line Screening again and they said that's just fine and that we'll go bak to just doing the five tests for 149. The rep said, "But when you get there, be sure to talk to them and make sure that they understand that you are doing the five so they don't do something and you'd get billed for the other part. Okay?" That's what we did and I told the person who met us, "So, this is for the five screenings." She said something and it wasn't a very pleasant answer. She was impatient and rude. She said, "What I'm telling you is how it will be." There was nothing complicated about what I said. I was surprised and unhappy.

    Other than that, we had five techs and everyone was very nice and professional. I liked them. Both my husband and I had issues and they were defined in the test. So, I hoped that they were thorough. I thought the results were going to the doctor but they didn't so we brought them in. I wish the results could have been sent.

    I followed up with the test a few days ago with a local radiologist and should have that test back today. They wanna do their own testing on it. But I have followed up with my doctor and another radiologist to have another test on it. I'm glad I had a test with Life Line Screening and found that proactive. Very good, professional, and well done. You should get it done.

    I'm happy I went to Life Line Screening because I had an aortic aneurysm last August and they found another one that started. They saw that that was there and said, “As soon as you get your test results back, I want you to take them to your doctor.” I knew something was up, but they didn't freak me out. If I hadn't found that new one, who knows how long it would be. It’d be another month before I would have got the CAT scan done. Life Line saved my life. Their process is simple and they're super nice. All the techs make you feel very comfortable. The guy that did my legs and my arms was the nicest.

    We had a screening done with Life Line Screening 15 years ago and we decided it was time to try it again. The techs were very helpful and congenial. It was very good dealing with them. They were friendly and made sure we were comfortable. We got the four tests and we did different tests in four different stations. The results got my doctor's attention. She already got me to do another sonogram on my carotid artery because she saw that one and wanted to make sure it was real. She wants me to get checked further just to make sure that it's not gonna cause a problem any time soon. The screening could have been cheaper, but I know they've gotta pay all of the equipment and the techs so I understand.

    The technicians the last time I went were not as nice as technicians I've had in the past. They weren't horrible but I kind of felt like I was on an assembly line. Also, the exams are getting expensive so I couldn't do everything that I wanted to do. But I don't really run to the doctor every year because I believe more in life screening than I believe in the doctor. Life Line Screening found my aortic aneurysm and I would never have found it because I don't run to the doctor every year for an annual checkup. It's well worth it.
