Labcorp

After 4 successful visits, this medical staff deserves a good review. Professional and friendly. Suggest making appt. via website for morning hours, but walked in after 4 pm today and no wait. Hard to give 5 stars to a blood lab ;)

My sister has down syndrome and it is impossible for any nurses or doctors to EVER get her blood drawn. We took her to so many places and she became traumatized. We took her to this place and not only did they get it done, they did on the first try without any blood leaking out. We didn’t have an appointment and they got us in within 10 minutes. They made her so calm and comfortable she was actually smiling walking out of there. I don’t know why people are whining about this place, I thought it was great and will be going there every time we need blood work. I recommend Ephraim he was the phlebotomist that got the job done.

I came here today for the first time to get my blood drawn for an internship. It’s located on Duarte on the second floor of the building.
I arrived around 10:45ish so the wait wasn’t too bad. I was kind of nervous after reading the Unilocal reviews, but I didn’t really mind bc I just wanted to get it over with. I don’t see why people are complaining about the front desk people not being happy-​go-​lucky. They seemed to be doing their job perfectly fine during my visit.
I understand that a place like this gets very busy right from opening at 8AM.
The lady who drew my blood was really nice, but I could tell she was getting a little tired, but I understand that no one really wants to be drawing blood on New Years Eve.
I just wish she didn’t seem so preoccupied thinking about other things that she let the needle slip right out of my arm. She had to re-​do a couple tubes and poke my other arm as well. It was okay with me since I’m a pretty understanding person, but I guess this place is a hit or miss. it’s definitely worth a try, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back again.

This place is nuts. I order a test online and went to take it. The Mexican nurse didn’t even care to hide her lack of interest in the job. When I went to get blood drawn for toxoplasma test today she did it horribly, causing me a lot of pain. When I ask when and who to get result from she just said she didn’t know. She turned around and went inside to change her lab coat to her normal dressing. I couldn’t take that answer home so I just went inside to ask. I said excuse me twice and saw her not even bothering to turn around to me. She continued to chitchat with her colleague inside. I had to knock the door very loud to let her know that I insisted to get a proper answer from her. Yet, she still said she didn’t know. Her colleague handed a piece of pre-​printed paper cut in size about 3 by 4 inch and ask me to call. There was no number there. I know they are not doctors and we should not expect them to know everything, but when I get three «I don’t know» from the same person in a minute I can’t put slightest trust in this place. Even you don’t know it yourself, you should know where or how to get an answer.

The front desk made me cry by her rude. Very mean. I don’t have my insurance card but I did give her my temporary one. She said she doesnt want accept it. I gave her my social number, she doesnt wanna run and check. She just look at the another guy front desk to laugh like iam a idiot. I told Iam pregnant so I can use my temporary. They are lazy and dont even try to help especially she made the pregnant women cry.

This place is overly crowded. The front desk is not friendly. When asked how long the wait would be, abruptly told me about 30 minutes, but it turned out to be an hour! Worst part is that the technicians are not experienced. He poked me, swiveled the needle inside my vein. I told him I would like to change technicians and have someone else more experienced… as he could not get any blood out, even after squeezing, swiveling the needle inside me… He wouldn’t get someone else. He said everyone’s busy. He asked to try my other arm! Finally got blood out, after squeezing my arm. And afterwards, both of my arms were in pain! I would not recommend this place to anyone! Unless you want to suffer.

The asian labcorp technician who drew my blood jabbed my arm so hard and deep it hurt like crazy. This place needs to be revamped. When I took the gauze off my arm after 15 minutes, there was so much blood that came out after. It seeped through the bandage.

Omg! This place was horrible walking in. The lady at the front was just mean and rude. She didn’t even greet me not even looked at me. She barely glanced up and just told me to sign in and she will call me when I’m next. When she called me back up, she was a bit nicer. But still. I expected either a smile or a hello would be nice.
I would have given this place one star but the nurse whom helped me next made this review into a 3 star. My nurses name is Teresa. I am not a needle person. So the thought of drawing blood just makes me nauseous and sweaty. I always ask for baby needles just in case if they can’t find my thin blood veins. Teresa was nice enough to take a good look at both arms and made her best judgement on which vein to poke. Literally it was just a quick poke and I was done drawing blood in less than 10 seconds. Sigh of relieve. That was the best experience I had and I hope I can come back to see her the next time I need to draw blood. Thank you Teresa!!! Keep up the good work!

They don’t even deserve one start! Very unprofessional and they intentionally make you wait! It took hr and half for them to call me in for a simple blood test. Very slow! Busy chatting with their coworkers instead of being efficient and providing service. Stay away. Will never come back to this location.

Totally unprofessional. We were coming to get a test for a cancer surgery and the guys were joking around and seemed to have no idea about how to do anything. We walked right out.

I had to have bloodwork done, and was able to walk in without an appointment. There was only one person ahead of me, and I went in on a weekday in the early afternoon. Maria was the nurse (phlebotomist) who drew my blood. I was extremely nervous about having bloodwork done — due to two horrible past experiences I’ve had. Maria put me at ease and drew my blood without any problems. In fact, this woman is so adept at what she does there was no bruising or needlemark! I always have had this (or worse) when I have had blood drawn. When the time comes I have to give another blood sample — I will make sure it is with Maria. In and out in 25 minutes. All the women working there were very helpful and pleasant.

Following the bad experience I had with laboratories last year, I found this lab (which was a stark contrast).
I would strongly recommend this laboratory– they were very professional, very competent, efficient, and convenient.

I am not a blood person at all — the mention of blood, the thought of it already makes me super queasy. So when I heard that I was a bone marrow match and had to give a blood test, I was extremely wary, to say the least. I don’t remember the last time I gave a blood test, and I had heard horrifying stories about the nurse not finding the vein and bruising and all that. And when I looked up the place I was to get the test, I was even more nervous. These reviews were really bad! I was so nervous that I actually considered changing my appointment to another day. But I pushed through it!
This Labcorp is behind Tasty Garden and Wells Fargo where all the medical offices/​buildings are. There is plenty of parking! The women at the front desk were quite rude, which only made my heart sink. Were they going to administer the blood draw? They asked me «why are you here?» etc. and couldn’t find my information. But then, a super nice blonde woman stepped out and pretty much changed my whole attitude regarding this place. I guess it really does depend on the people who work at the place to make or break your experience.
She took me into the room, cleaned my arm, asked me which arm I preferred and … stuck the needle in. I had to donate eight little tubes of blood and … ah, thinking about it makes me nauseous. She made a little small talk, but really … it was super fast and over in less than 5 minutes. AND there wasn’t any soreness or anything in my arm at all! I was so surprised and very grateful, too. She wrapped up my arm and I left … just like that. Insurance and everything was covered for, so … I am really proud that I can say I conquered getting my blood drawn. And besides the little tiny needle imprint in the crook of my arm, there wasn’t any soreness or bruising.
So if I have any final words of advise, if you can get the young girl who was in the Disney scrubs, do try! :D I’m in between a 3 and a 4 since there were pleasant and not so pleasant people here … I mean, it’s 8:30 in the morning. If you’re rude NOW, what can the people expect when it’s near closing time?

Came here for blood work, asked for butterfly needle, she said it’s not recommended!
Since when? Said who?
It’s because it will cost them a few cents more. Left a huge bruise on my arm.

I had an app. for 10:00 am, I walked in right on time and had to wait over an hour before I got helped. The same girl who signed me in was the one who took my blood! She was so rough and even seemed to stick the needle extra deep when there was no need for that. I can see my skin being pulled up from the needle, it was very painful (first time, I’ve even donated blood in the past and its never hurt) I still have a red little bruise from it and its been a week today. Do your self a favor and do not go here. I will never go there again, I only wish I had researched the place a little more before I went there. Live and learn!;)

Came here to get blood wok done…
Apparently the first time I came here, one of my tests came back positive which was SO incorrect and they wouldn’t retest me because it would ruin their «integrity».
All the other places I tested at came back negative and when I came back for another blood work, it came back correct — it was negative.
so all that stress bc they misplaced my results the first time…

Customer Service– This unprofessional place doesn’t even deserve one star. Staff of all young woman is very rude. when calling to complain you get to speak to a just as unprofessional supervisor. This entire staff needs retraining on customer service.
Location– you have to park at the bank and that was very confusing. They have another location literally 2 buildings down with different hours, also confusing.
Cleanliness– its a lab. Shouldn’t it be clean? Apparently the people that work here don’t think so. It was disgusting.

A bit of a wait even with an appt.
The staff was very professional.

My doctor recommended several places for me to take a blood and urine test. This place was the nearest out of all of the LabCorps from where I live, so I went here about three days ago.
Parking was easy to find, fortunately. I found a parking spot under a minute or two. But, I don’t see why the parking lot looks so unkempt. There was trash everywhere!
This isn’t the situation inside the building, though. There weren’t a lot of people and trash when I came in (7 AM), so it’s really neat. There were lots of reading materials available for customers. Since there were a few people, after I filled in the paperwork, I got to go in right away, which was a real treat!
After the quick blood test, it was time to take the urine test. Rest assured, Unilocalers, they had a restroom. A BROKEN restroom, that is. I was told to go home and do the test, but it was such a long drive home.
Luckily, there were restrooms nearby… that people were in line for. I stood in line waiting for my turn when a nice woman asked if I wanted for her to unlock a restroom. After a grateful yes, I finally got to do the urine test. I dropped off the urine and returned home.
I just hope they fix that restroom of theirs sooner or later. It’s getting ridiculous just seeing people in line just to use the restroom. My advice to Unilocalers would be to only go here for blood tests until they fixed their restroom. But other than that, it’s a good location.

My doctor referred a list of places for me to get some lab work done for my routine checkup. Yes, urine and blood testing. Luckily I didn’t have to do any other type of testing. Had to go there hungry though, since you’re not allowed to eat 12 hours prior.
I actually went to another Westcliff location first, but turns out that other location no longer did lab work, which is too bad because it was closer to home and had better hours. But I’m glad there was another Arcadia location on the list given to me, so I headed here.
Parking was easy enough. The place is well-​kept and clean. I went in around 2pm, which is right after their lunch break. No other patient was around (though by the time I left, there were 2 people in the waiting room). Gave the staff member my paperwork and medical card, she had me fill out a single page form with just basic info (name, address, physician). After that I was in and out within 10 minutes. Sweet.
Professional. Friendly. Clean. Efficient. Quick. Painless (relatively). What else do you want? More reading material in the waiting room? I wasn’t there long enough to have to pick anything up! Ha!
