Quest Diagnostics Incorporated

Went here at least rwice for blood draws. I was very pleased with the service. Fast polite technician and very fast service.

My father has been regularly getting blood draws here since his transplant and they have been very good at being timely. It is way better than driving all the way to the hospital

Maria was my tech and she ROCKED the blood draw, which couldn’t have been any better. Really, it was as close to painless as possible. I appreciated her skill and efficiency — if only everyone who does clinical blood draws was as good.
I checked into cost/​s ahead of time. Quest is far less expensive than having lab tests done through a hospital, which makes it a good choice if you have a copay. And it was «in network» with my insurance, so I had ZERO patient responsibility for my preventive tests.
Do yourself a BIG FAVOR and make an appointment in advance online or by phoning. Sign-​in when you arrive & note your appointment time. You’ll be called at your appointed time, ahead of any walk-​ins waiting.
There are signs posted all over the place about having a credit card available along with your insurance card **which wasn’t noted on their website or on the appointment confirmation. But you won’t be forced to cough-​up a CC. I mentioned having checked with my insurance ahead of time, and 100% coverage for all preventative tests, and they had no problem with me not giving them a CC.
The Parking lot is a bit small, so there may not be any open parking spaces when the waiting room is packed (as it will every Saturday morning), but there are two large handicap parking spaces right at the door.
Warning! One-​Star Demerit: totally gross bathroom experience! No soap or toweling inside. What the heck?! YUCK!!! Soap and towels are located outside the bathroom, in the hallway. Again — GROSS!

I understand that coming here for a one-​time, pre-​hire drug test is a little different than coming for regular blood draws, so I may be treated differently as a non-​regular. However, I should still be greeted, treated politely and maybe even smiled at.
The tech who assisted me wasn’t exactly friendly and she didn’t follow the procedure that that a) have listed on the wall and b) is common practice for collecting urine specimens (we do this at my weekend job — I KNOW the procedure).
I wouldn’t come back here.
Bonus: ample, free parking.
