    Check-in at Westwood was confusing. I was ready to take the elevator to Floor 2 (Dermatology) when I noticed the self check-in screens nearby. I tried to use one, but it would not accept my zip code. I then went to the 2nd floor. The receptionist there was initially a bit testy, saying I was supposed to check in on the 1st floor. She then helped me. I clearly missed the 1st floor check-in area because I went straight to the elevator. In past visits, I always checked in at the Dermatology reception desk. Apparently that is no longer the correct procedure. I'll try to get it right next year!
