@SeaMaiden, I’m not saying not to do the testing but do a search on this company and scams.

@tansy Yes, I did some research.... as with most things there are bad reviews along with the good one. I do think it depends on where you live, and the quality of the screening and employees. I figure for the price it was worth taking a risk. If I feel it is not a quality situation, I will not do it again.

SeaMaiden,

If you are referring to LifeLine Screening, I go every few years. All is always normal. My best friend recently went and they found mild plaque build-up in her carotid arteries. It's a non-invasive, painless test. Based on that report, her doctor suggested she have a full test and it was found that both arteries are mildly clogged. He told her he would do another screening in about 2 years. My doctor always listens to my arteries with his stethescope. At age 72, so far so good. Good luck to you. docsgirl
