Lab Corp

I went here last Wednesday to get blood work done, and i have a history of passing out every single time i get blood work done. Not only was the intake staff quick and kind, but they were very understanding and accommodating. Sophia was the woman who took my blood. She allowed me to lay down and gave me a cool-​pack. She proceeded to tell me a story and talk to me the entire time I was getting my blood taken, that this was honestly, the FIRST EVER time I did not pass out. I’d like to thank her for making my visit 1,000,000 times better!

The staff are courteous. The facility is shoddy looking, the technicians so rotated, and the chairs and tables themselves where equipment and pads are rested always look like they have a build up and need good scrubbing. I have never encountered an uncapped needle, but not even on the internet does the industry discuss best practices for consumers to reassuringly observe. In which case, a packaged needle would likely be a routine preference. I do not know these techs, and I do know that seeing all the sanitary equipment in open bins among an already grimy space is unappealing. Plus nightmare stories.
It is bad enough that newer techs rarely exercise great patient care when it comes to accuracy of insertion, pressure application for best area recovery, etc. I do not get irked by site of blood, but I want to squirm seated among the very lacking habit of equipment and floor washing. My mom tells herself it is the aging of materials, but there would still be a clean smell — plus not signs of dirt instead. This industry gets a lot of foot traffic — hire routine cleaning crews please!
