This morning I had to get some blood work done and take a 2 hour glucose test. Luckily, my…read morenutritionists building has a Quest Diagnostics in it...... Super convenient. The office is very small overall but cozy. There is one woman who works here and she is splendid. Extremely nice and professional. I mentioned to her that I have an issue with needles and that I will never out grow my fear unfortunately, and she was completely sympathetic. She used a needle one size down from the one she normally would use in order for me to not feel it. You know, I didn't! I was very thankful! She also took the time to explain the glucose test process. The office is very clean and well kept. There is some reading material, but nothing that interested me so my suggestion is to bring something to read if you think you will be awhile. My ONLY reason for the 4 stars is because they are not open weekends. I had come here Saturday morning as to try and avoid interrupting my work week and the hours, which are posted right on the door, only show Monday-Friday 7:30am - 5:00pm. So the only time I could do this was a weekday morning.

Also, if there's an issue with locating a vein they don't poke around. A simple butterfly (think that's the name) will be inserted. Rarely that's the case with me lbut it's happened at hospitals and other facilities - the constant poking with no blood. Here they remember and she finds the correct spot first try everytime. The intake is a bit lengthy but they do it right and unlike East Side they do it in front of you and explain any questions before you initial or sign. Again other places treat you like a deli order and you sit in the waiting room until they do the paperwork and surprise surprise, I've gotten bills for things my insurance didn't cover at East Side where Quest will look and make sure all is well. Even with the short hours - I'm giving this 5 stars because of the quality of service. Besides, I usually have to fast anyway so it's not an issue. It's a walk in & appointment so those that get angry, make an appointment.

Prior to drawing my blood, the girl was around the corner coughing/hacking. Then she wiped her nose…read morew/her hand. After putting on gloves, she then couldn't seem to find a vein on my left side. Then she tries the right. Never had an issue before. Just after she inserts the needle, she calls over another girl to help her b/c she moved the needle (which I was getting stabbed w/on the inside). The other girl had to help w/getting the needle back to where it needed to be and putting the vile on to collect the blood. They never took the rubber band off the whole time while saying the blood is coming out slowly. Meanwhile, there's blood dripping on the floor. After all that, two of the tests couldn't be done b/c the blood was hemolyzed, which means the blood was compromised either when it was drawn or when it was transported and couldn't be used. This is the 2nd time a Lifespan lab has screwed up my samples so my tests couldn't be done.

There was one person in front of me and there was 2 techs I literally didn't wait longer than a couple minutes, Denise did my bloodwork she was very gentle she also checked me in and was very kind. The place is clean and plenty of parking. I would go here if I were in the area again. Very nice workers here and I was in and out I love that. Oh and I dislike needles very much- I made Denise aware of that and she spoke to me the whole time without even scaring me or hurting me.

I believe this lab that is 'in-network' with my new health insurance. Located in the Warwick Mall…read morecomplex of buildings, this Medical Building is on the corner of Bald Hill Rd and W. Natick Rd. Same building as Concentra Urgent Care. No appointment necessary. The entrance is under the drive through portico facing Macy's (sort of). Nice to have the overhead protection to drop off someone on a rainy day. There is plenty of parking in front of the building. As soon as you enter, straight ahead a few steps lead down. If you need to use the elevator, it's to the right of the steps. The waiting area for the lab is at the bottom of the steps and to the left. Take a number by the check-in window and have a seat. The waiting area is clean and comfortable. When your number is called, hand your lab slip, ID and insurance card to the receptionist. Reception will log you in, be sure they have all your insurance info in the system and add the ordered tests which will print labels for phlebotomy staff. A phlebotomist will come to the door and call your first name when it's your turn. During my first visit a student phlebotomist did my blood draw under the supervision of the staff phlebotomist. She did a great job and I was in and out quickly. The room where they do the draws is brightly lit and very clean. Staff were all very friendly and the receptionist really helped me out with insurance. If this is a convenient location for you, it seems like a good choice. Now, let's see if my insurance carrier agrees.

The place is practically empty and dingy. I walked in and the phlebotomist was sitting at a desk talking with a person about football. He ignored me for sometime and continued with his conversation for another 15 minutes. I went back to the window to make sure he knew a patient was waiting. He then yelled, no exaggeration, take a seat. So I spent 1/2 hour listening to this obnoxious unprofessional person, and realize I would not let him near my arm with a needle.

Quick and bloody…read more Lately my blood seems to great demand, Whether it's a voracious mosquito, fly or phlebotomist, my blood seems to be leaving my body rather frequently. And whether it's a mosquitoes hypopharynx or a human's needle, having blood taken from my body is never a particularly pleasant experience. Fortunately Lifespan Laboratories makes it as quick and painless as possible. This Lifespan Lab is small but very efficient and quick. The people working here are very good at sucking out blood from humans and even through the waiting room might be crowded at times, things go reasonably quickly. Just give the tech the paperwork, stick your arm out and in goes the needle and out comes the blood. Not a whole lot of conversation but then I would rather the technician concentrate on the needle rather than engage in meaningless small talk. The lab opens at 8AM so you can get your blood removed nice and early before you're completely awake. I can't say that it's painless and pleasant but at least it's quick and professional as possible.
