LabCorp

Labcorp staff are very professional, highly skilled, and compassionate. Special praise for Christin who works at JMMC WC.

In my opinion, this is the most efficient LabCorp office I have ever been to. If you arrive on time and I assume patients before your scheduled time do so as well, you will be done within a matter of minutes. The staff is friendly and professional, and assures that you experience minimum discomfort while your blood is being drawn. The facility is clean and everything is well organized. Very well managed.

Their drivers are incredibly inconsiderate. I was waiting over 10 minutes for them as they used the sidewalk and the gas lane as a staging area. Transferring items between their 5 vehicles.
Why didn’t I just go to a different pump?
Well because they were in 1 of 2 diesel lanes at the Chevron. The other diesel lane had a large bus filling up.
Then to top it off they continued to block the exit lane and driveway.
I drive a large medium duty truck and reversing is dangerous.

My stomach hurt pretty bad so i had to do some blood and stool tests. My doctor refered me here and said that the results will be in in 10 days.10 days later my doctor calls me and says «oops.LabCorp forgot to test your blood».I go there again for the blood test, wait 10 more days, go back to my doctor and he says «oops…they did allergy tests on your stool samples but forgot to run the test to see if you may have ulcer or not».You can imagine how livid i was when they actually sent me a bill, although my doctor told me that my insurance will cover all my tests. Will never use a doctor again who is using this company. sloppy, sloppy, sloppy… oh, and dont expect me to pay for your half-​ass done tests.

I literally walked out of the place after being there for five minutes! Its so dirty inside, the recepionist seems like he hates his job and just doing something to get by. The lab technician who supposed to take your blood, doesn’t seem to have showered for ages with very rugged clothes. She was covering the stains on her clothes with an over-​sized white lab coat. The bathroom hasn’t been cleaned and smelled very bad. I can’t believe this run down place is still operational!
I agree with your comment Emily C. couple of reviews below this one.

Nice people, and short wait time. Smooth and quick draw very little pain and no soreness afterward. 4 stars because it was a smaller office and didnt look 100% sterile. Just set an appointment online, bring the paperwork required, and you will avaoid all the negative remarks people have posted.

Waiting time is decent, and you are seen quickly.

Was disappointed when I received a bill for $ 182.00. I came on 12÷8÷14 for blood work. The front desk lady asked for my insurance card. I told her I have Kaiser and I am going out of the network. Kaiser will not cover. The lady also took my credit card charged me $ 75.00. Told me I only need to pay $ 75 if the insurance doesn’t cover. Well that is not the case. I recently received a bill. I called the billing department, not very help. I was then transferred to the Lab i went to see. Wasn’t helpful either. I wrote a email to dispute the charge. Was denied. Never again am I coming back here.

The female technician can come off as abrupt and rude as she doubles as receptionists and checks you in. But really, she is just efficient. And she’s really good at what she does. I usually have veins that puzzle people and sometimes it takes a few tries. Not with her. Within a few seconds, she got the vein and I didn’t feel it at all. A total pro. She warmed up after I complimented her on her technique. 5 stars for a painless and quick blood draw. I’d come back here for sure if I needed future blood work done. Facilities though is depressing. Do appreciate the ability to book online visits as well.

This place is horrible! It’s dirty, dingy and dilapidated and makes you worry about the cleanliness of having blood specimens drawn in such an environment. The receptionist was abrupt and unfriendly. The gentleman who drew the blood was nice and professional. I like the fact you can book appointments online as I only had to wait five minutes, but then again, I went early to try and avoid crowds and a wait. I would never go back to this lab!

Always rude staff… limited to locations that open so early so am stuck at this location. One woman put on gloves which was great, then left went to answer phone and do some typing then came back proceeded to draw blood without changing clothes. To say the least I walked out. If you early in the am there is one woman that barely speaks English but she is at least clean and fast.

I’ve been to this Lab a few times and always get in with little wait time even if I don’t make an appointment. Today I arrived at 9:30 am and was out in about 15 minutes.

One of the rudest receptionists I’ve ever encountered while needing to have some testing done for a routine medical checkup. Perhaps she hadn’t had her morning coffee but some retraining is definitely needed. I asked for the bathroom key and she interrogated me if I needed to do a urine test. I said no I needed to go to the bathroom now and please give me the key. She finally did but only reluctantly.

I recently had a disturbing experience at this branch of Labcorp. When I went to get blood drawn, I requested to my phlebotomist, Alexandria Kelley, that she count to three before she drew blood.
I have a history of fainting during blood draws, so my doctor has informed me how to breath deeply on the count of three in order to minimize my light headedness and black outs. It’s the routine that works best for me.
Alexandria Kelley did not respond to my request and jammed the needle into my arm. I was so shocked that she did not follow my clear protocol that I said «Did you not understand that I asked you to count to three?» To which she replied «You don’t need to talk down to me.» I was not being rude — I was genuinely puzzled.
I felt that my comfort and safety was comprised by her cavalier attitude to flagrantly ignore my request.
When I asked her for both her and her manager’s full name and contact information, she was very reluctant to give it to me. I had to ask several times, and she even walked out of the room while I was doing so. I ended getting all the information from her male co-​worker. He was also visibly displeased by my inquiry.
There are a number of other Labcorp branches in the city. I would suggest going to one of those.
I have contacted the manager whose name they gave me, Robert Singson, and have yet to hear a response.

I can’t believe I am giving five stars to a blood lab place, but this place really is the best. Yes, the furniture is old and waiting area bare-​bones, but what counts is 1) they always have availability for you to pre-​book appointments and 2) their lab techs are super nice and good at what they do.
I am perhaps the most squeamish person in the world and they always put me at ease, go in quickly and as painlessly as possible. I have had lab work done at several other labs in SF and in contrast have left those places with my arm looking like a blind heroin junkie.
As the Dos Equis guy would say, I don’t often like to get bloodwork but when I must, I choose LabCorp at 490 Post #418.

Entering this place is like stepping back to the 70s. You get in, sign in, it’s 635am. There are 4 other people ahead of you & your wait is an hour!
Basically without an appointment set one hour at least to get through the fact they’re understaffed & are using paperwork for everything.
The lady working here is nice & did a quick draw, but the process for each person is ridiculously slow.

Didn’t have an appointment but the nice gentleman who checked me in and drew my blood had me in + out within 15 minutes. He was also very gentle… made it as painless as possible. Experienced.

This seemed like the only decent LabCorp in the city, so I decided to come here to get my blood work and urinalysis done for a routine check-​up. It was also one of the only LabCorps opened on Saturdays as well. I came in at 9:30am and there were about 3 other people waiting to get whatever done. I checked in at the front and waited until it was my turn. It took about 45 minutes total for the wait, the blood work, and the urinalysis WITHOUT an appointment. The phlebotomist was also very nice when drawing blood from me.
If you need to get any lab work done, come to this LabCorps destination! The other ones just sounds like a horrible experience to me.

I give them 5-​stars for hitting my vein with a single shot to draw my blood out. A tiny pinch is all the pain I can manage from any blood technician.
However…2-stars for:
~ The big check-​in window was kinda like getting a hot dog at a stand.
~ The small waiting area needed some sprucing, kinda reminded me of Bates Motel.
~ The bathroom for pee samplings was small and cramped.
~ The plastic grey chair to withdraw blood looked similar to a electric chair on death row.
Service was nice. There’s a jumbo size clock on the wall, you’ll never need to ask what time it is. And I was in/​out of there within 10 minutes. Fast and efficient. I wouldn’t want to stay any longer than that!
Believe it or not, this is the nicest LabCorp I’ve been to. The one in San Leandro is worst than Bates Motel.

I honestly do not know why this place currently has an average of only 2.5 stars! I have been to other seriously inferior LabCorps– you low-​raters don’t know a good thing when you see it!
Let’s face it — nobody enjoys being sick or having to give blood. But when life give you lemons, you put some sugar on it — not just eat it straight! I make the best of the situation by being nice to the staff and they are very nice to me in return.
As someone who has to do blood work monthly, I certainly value finding a place I don’t hate frequenting. So far, I’ve had 3 different people take my blood at this location and each one was great. The staff is polite and works quickly.
I drop-​in without an appointment (I’ve gone at various times, but avoided the lunch hour) and have never had to wait more than 10 minutes.
TO MAKE THINGS GO QUICKLY:
1) sign in upon arriving
2) have your referral and insurance card handy when you are called up
3) wait a few minutes until you are called in to have your blood drawn
SEE, THAT WAS EASY!
