I've used Quest labs at CR 101 and the one near Buenos Aires. Made appt online and went in for blood draw at both as soon as I arrived. No waiting no problems.

I have been using Quest for many years. They are very skilled at getting the needle in. In fact I'm going today at 2:30 to get blood drawn. I go to the one off of 466.
I've been to some other places that are not as good. It hurts and I end up with a big bruise.
However, I'm sure there are many good places, but I do like Quest.

Quest off 466 is quick and the techs are good.

And the one on 441 is also good, and not as busy as the one on 466. By the way there is a Quest App that allows you to make appointments.

I'll agree with the one at 441 (by Boston Market). BUT I do like LabCorp too...though now they seem busier than 2 yrs ago since they're the ones that TVHC and UHCAP utilizes. The last statement meaning when you go to LabCorp's site.

Use the one your health insurance says is in-network. Otherwise you may end up paying. My insurance says Quest. Don't know what you do if on Medicare.

The last time I went to a lab I needed to provide a urine sample. So I took my little jar into the men's room and did what I needed to do.

When I went back to where they draw blood I wasn't sure where I was supposed to leave it. There was a woman getting ready to draw blood from someone and she saw me standing there with my urine sample.

Instead of telling me where to put it, she came over and took it from me with her gloved hand. After she put it where it belonged, she proceeded to draw blood while wearing the same gloves.

Wherever you go, take notice it they change their gloves each time they draw blood. Something tells me they don't always do it.

Frankly, I wouldn't know, but your provider does, all other comments are opinions based on ???? Ask your Doctor or nurse, they have the experience and will/should let you know which one provides them with prompt reports and are best to work with.

A friend of mine just went to the Dr and needs bloodwork - he requested that she use Quest but I don't know the reason.
