Thanks for taking the time to share a review. We recognize that being a large and complex company sometimes results in lengthier processes. And, as an FDA regulated company, there are myriad considerations that often impact timelines. With this in mind, we continue to work on streamlining our processes, incorporating more agility into the way we work whenever possible. Thank you again for taking the time to review us!
