Quest Diagnostics

I go to the older clinic on Irwin; it’s just down the street. Sometimes thete is a wait because everyone who is doing a fasting blood draw wants to get it over with as soon as possible.
The techs are professional and painless — I have tiny bad veins and they take their time with almost no extra jabbing.
Take a bottle of water with you for the wait and something to read.

I got to quest ten minutes before they opened and it still took 50 minutes to draw my blood with only five people ahead of me. This was mostly due to the receptionist that was 20 minutes late to work. Once she arrived she didn’t seem to be in much of a rush to make up for the lost time. I will say that the lady drawing blood was very helpful and kind.

It’s more like 3.5 stars, but anyway.
There’s two locations for Quest Diagnostics; now I’ve been to both. I’m not sure which I like more. The other location is in a brand spanking new building & I’ll tell you off the bat *low hushed tone* i think their staff is a smidge more friendlier. This location is in a shabby older building. Not a big deal, just noted. Waiting rooms are about the same size. The staff here seemed a bit more flustered with the calls and bustle… it’s a doctor’s office though. I could feel my own stress level getting higher; this is precisely the reason why i dislike clinics/​doctor offices/​hospitals — staff can make it unpleasant. However, once i was seen in the back, her demeanor completely changed. she then started to explain to me basically what i had suspected — she was flustered. After that, she was extremely pleasant & chatty. I would give her 4 stars then — she talked to me during my blood being drawn & i didnt feel a thing.
This location is on the corner of Irwin & Cameron. Neither location will have large signs so I suggest paying attention to the street address posted on front. They open fairly early — at 7am — but lines form here as early as 6:30. Fortunately, i’ve never been caught in these lines. I was told by one of the staff that one particular day, by 8am people were going to have to wait a hour to be seen. So i strongly recommend setting up an appointment. Just like the DMV. It’s an automated service & it’s fairly easy.
