ACL Laboratories

The technicians are always very nice but the process is slow. I mean slow. S-​L-​O-​W.
I’ve never been here for blood work and had it take less than an hour.
Got there early today, on a Saturday morning, to beat the rush. Lab opened at 8:30 and I arrived at 8:40. Put my name in the computer and it said the wait was already 80 minutes. How is that possible?
Seems they only ever have one person who does the paperwork and takes the blood.
Love my doctor but this lab is just awful.

takes a loooong time to get in but the lady is very nice

Nothing says quality medical facility like gang signs carved into the waiting room chairs! They are moving locations; hopefully they’re leaving the mucked up chairs behind.
This particular office was for a doctor and lab testing. I sat in the waiting room for over a half hour waiting for the one person ahead of me to finish his blood test while listening to the yappy broads in the back gossiping. I wanted to poke my eyes out!
When I finally got my turn I realized what took so long. The woman doing the blood draw had to do all the paperwork herself as well. In all my past experiences with getting blood tested the lab only had to draw blood, not print out labels, type all the info into the system and other admin duties. It’s ridiculous and a serious disservice to patients who don’t have all day.
I will say that even though the tech moved kind of slowly and printed the labels with my name misspelled which caused her to have to redo them, she was very good and very accommodating.
Hopefully in the new place I won’t be expected to bring my own orange juice.
