LabCorp

These folks sure aren’t friendly! They make it tough on giving a «sample» no shelves or counter in the restroom, so I was left balancing and trying not to spill. The technician was clearly offended that I asked her a couple of basic questions.

This Labcorp is a good place to get blood tests. The nurses are very efficient and meticulous when taking your blood samples, and the place is really clean, too! I suggest going here early before it starts to get packed (maybe at around 7:00 — 7:30 AM). I learned that the hard way last year… Hahah!

Look, it’s not like I want to come here frequently, but if you need some place to go to do your labs (I had my complete blood work and urine analysis) and want to be in and out efficiently, I recommend this location. I went in at 12:30 PM (WITHOUT an appointment) on a Thursday, was immediately greeted, given a a cup for my urine sample, and as soon I was done my blood was drawn by the phlebotomist. I was in and out within 11 minutes (I timed it too, I was by 12:29 PM and out by 12:40 PM). The phlebotomist that drew blood from me was very pleasant and it was quick and painless.
I didn’t spend any time in the waiting room, but I could see how that could be complaint because the waiting area was TINY, maybe 4 chairs overall and even then it would be extremely small. But given their efficiency, I could see why they don’t need a big waiting room they get you in an out. So I won’t deduct any stars considering I didn’t have to spend any time there.
FREE parking lot in the back and street parking in front and it’s plentiful.

. I completely don’t think an appointment is necessary, but if you’re worried and want to be sure that you are in and out book one.
REMEMBER to bring your INSURANCE CARD and your LAB order form!

They were quick and easy to deal with. I had to come here for a drug screen before getting hired. A lot of places take 30mins — 1hour to get you in and out but this LabCorp took me less than 20 minutes. I charged my phone in anticipation of waiting a long time and didn’t even get to use it!

Glucose testing on Tuesday, 7÷28÷15 (first time visiting)
I drive on Las Tunas Drive often so I was able to find this location easily. Parking was super easy. My appointment was at 8am so it was even better to avoid the crowd. I walked in and the receptionists were there to assist me. They both seemed pretty busy but I did the usual routine of signing in and handing over my information.
Service was quick. The male receptionist in the front seems experienced. He explained that the procedure would be blood draws before and after the consumption of the glucose-​testing fluid. I walked into room 1 and the phlebotomist drew blood from my right arm, which left a bruise after a day. Then I consumed the bottle of fluid and waited for an hour. I notified them when time was up. A different phlebotomist drew blood from my left arm, which was great since she used the butterfly needle so no bruising.
I was in at 8am and out of LabCorp at about 9:15am. There’s nothing else to note about visiting labs. It’s just a collection of specimens and examinations. I have experienced better though where the staff members were friendly and the waiting room felt cozy with updated reading material. The most important part was that phlebotomists don’t leave bruises on your arm.

Pros: easy parking
Pro: quick in and out (if no wait)
Con: the nurse that was there the day I went was a bit rude
Cons: I had a giant bruise that made my arm sore for two weeks (another nurse at a different office told me it could be because pressure wasn’t put on it, which was true and the blood vessel bleed out! I was trying to put pressure on it but the nurse who drew the blood told me not to. (–_​_​-​”)
the wait in the morning was long so I went back in the afternoon and it was empty

Today they were off. Showed up at 930 and there was no one at the desk. Patients were already stacking up and no one had been out to help. Gathered consensus was that they stepped out for about 40 min. Finally several people roll out of the back room and start getting to work.
I would give zero stars, but I have to say that they somewhat redeemed themselves. Once they were back to work, they got to work. They seemed efficient and well oiled. Cleared the waiting room of like 10 people in 30 minutes. That’s pretty damn impressive.
If you catch them at their best you’ll probably be alright.

Unfortunately, I’m getting way too familiar with blood drawing centers like Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics. I came here recently and what’s great about it is that it wasn’t crowded. Normally, these places have a lobby full of people. Not this place. Took us in right away. I’m only giving it 3 stars because apparently the blood specimen could not be tested properly due to handling (it could have been here, in transit or the actual lab) but in any case, the blood tests had to be redone.

Worst place to get a drug test for work. Work made appointment. Printed out appointment sheet. Went to place said no drug test until 1030. Man why print 730 to 400 if I gotta cime back.

Made an appointment at 9am and came in at 9 for glucose testing (ughhhh) phlebotomist told me are u prepared to stay for 2 hours. Cannot leave the lab. I have done this before and i dreaded it. Signed in, took my first draw at 9:08 with Gretchen. I didn’t feel a thing. Called me in an hr later and drew a second time and one more time after that. Pretty quick and easy. The staff are friendly and funny ppl. sitting here for 2 hrs I can hear all their conversations. I would definitely recommend this labcorp over the other ones. Its a little small and its not packed at all.

My first time here; my doctor switched from another lab. In and out in less than 15 mins. Phlebotomist Gretchen was friendly, professional, & took extra time on my uncooperative arms, finding a suitable vein.
Not a fancy office, but functional & clean, which is really all one needs for a lab.
I am not fond of change, but I’m happy with this one! Ample parking behind the building.
