LabCorp

I just realized I’m bruised above and below the injection site of my arm. I’ve never bruised while donating blood why bruise while getting lab work done, (2 vials). Incompetence.
It was easy to make an appointment online. I didn’t catch the lab tech’s name but she was blondish and about 40 – 45 years old. The FIRST time she stuck me with the needle it was painless, just a little poke. She somehow made a mistake and had to reinsert the needle. That was not fun. Second time felt like a bee sting, not so bad. It was the removal of the needle that hurt. I came in Thursday at 11am, it is now late Saturday night, I am still sore. hmmm
Also, when I donate blood, they give a rubber ball to squeeze, to make veins pop. She had told me to just make a fist. Why do they not have something to squeeze? That would have probably helped the first time.

I have a great experience here. I believe Kathy is her name that drew my blood. She was gentle and kind and has seen all people from different walks of life. I felt comfortable even while fasting.

Nicest staff and always great parking… Wife and I love this location for any lab work… Also pain free shots!
Thank you guys

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION! Walked in, and the receptionist was on the phone. She seemed annoyed that I had walked in and interrupted her personal phone call. She reaches her hand out and says «I’ll take your order and insurance card», with an attitude. Let me clarify, this was my first time going to a Lab, to get Lab work, so I don’t know the procedure. She shoos me away, basically telling me to take a seat.
I go and have a seat. Then I hear her tell the technician (after she was on the phone for another 15 minutes with her boyfriend or I don’t know who) that the system is down and only going to give the tests that are on the order. Well, I knew dang well there were more tests that should of been performed as what was stated on the paper. She knew that too, as it stated «9 in total» but only showed two tests. When I was called back, I stated to her that I knew there were more than two tests to be performed. She got irritated and was like «Well our systems down, so if you want to call your doctor, YOU can». ME!!! You are the receptionist, shouldn’t YOU do that??? So I did, but my doctors office now knows not to send ANYONE to that location.
The technician was friendly, BUT it said to notify them if there was pain after the initial poke. There was SIGNIFICANT pain and I told him, but he just kept saying it was almost over, which it wasn’t.
The receptionist turned away more people to make phone calls into their doctors, instead of doing it herself and they weren’t that busy, so definitely not an excuse.
I am calling corporate to complain. That receptionist needs the boot ASAP!
