It might be hard to be a "FAN" of a laboratory, but I am of this particular location…read more I don't like needles and I hate to get my blood drawn. I've found that the staff working this location are nice and the process is not painful nor traumatic. It has a nice private parking lot and the ESCL is located downstairs. Every time I've been, there is almost no wait and I am in/out very quickly. They will send you copies of your results by email or Post office, just need to request it.

I used to come to this location when it used to be part of the East Side Lab network. Today I went…read morein and I was surprised to see that it is now a Southcoast Health Laboratory. I needed to get my bloodwork for my annual physical checkup. Melissa was really friendly and nice to me. I told her I hate needles and she made me very comfortable by telling me that she was going to use a baby needle and a butterfly to minimize any pain or discomfort. The procedure was easy and painless. I was very happy with it. The network of laboratories in MA and RI, offer full-service, stat/urgent testing, and most reference testing, as well as comprehensive anatomic pathology and cytology services. I fully recommend. Free parking in front of the entrance.

The medical/office space located at 180 Corliss Street in Providence, RI has multiple businesses…read more It is conveniently by Route I-95 and in downtown Providence. The parking lot has plenty of spaces. On the 1st floor, there is a directory that lists the suite numbers of the businesses such as, Anchor Medical Associates, Lifespan Laboratories, Men's Health Center, and Infectious Diseases Outpatient Clinics in Rhode Island. The Lifespan Laboratories hours are Monday-Friday: 8:00am - 5:30pm and is located on the 2nd floor, Suite D. Anchor Medical Associates is my PCP so I usually go there first and then have bloodwork done at the Lifespan Laboratories right around the corner. When you walk in, you first pull a ticket number and then your number will be called by the receptionist. The receptionist will check you in and I gave her my lab requisition form. Within 5 minutes, I was called in and blood was drawn. Phlebotomist was very pleasant and process was quick and seamless. There was no bruise at the blood drawn site.

Went to East Greenwich location on 3/13/24. There were 2 customers there complaining they…read morecouldn't get waited on. I approached counter and staff member said, take a number, wouldn't even look up. Ok, so I became seated, and before I knew it, there was like 20 customers there, several walked out. Not sure what happened, but no one was being called. After waiting 15 minutes, an elderly couple approached the counter and when the lady complained about the wait, the employee started yelling and called for security. This employee was way out of line, she started the yelling. As it was finally my turn to be waited on, I waited half an hour, someone was called before me, I told the receptionist who had made a mistake in who was to go next. This location is at 1454 South County Trail, definitely will not be returning.

Entered this place at 1515 Smith St for the first time because my doctor insisted I use a lifespan…read morelaboratory. When I arrived I found the place deserted. I knocked and after a few minutes a window opened. I felt as though I was interrupting them. After the initial greeting, I was instruct to sit in the adjacent room. There were many chairs, but having had blood drawn many time I knew what chair I should sit in without instruction. The technician soon cam in while still chatting with the other technician who was still in the greeting area. My blood was drawn while they continue to converse with each other and certainly not paying much attention to their patient. They were even criticizing their employer referring to Lifespan as "cheap". When the drawn was down the technician removed the needle not looking at the injection site, but rather looking towards the person he was talking to. Withdrawing the needle was extremely painful. Seem as if it was withdrawn at a bad angle. The picture shows the end result

Ridiculous wait time of three hours. Promised 45 minutes to 1 hour wait. Inquired about the long…read morewait and was told the "doctors" were at lunch. Poor time management and communication with patients. Not impressed, not recommended, and will never return.

Laboratory location very convenient to downtown…read more Plenty of free parking The lab is located on the street level ... as you walk in, it's on the left side of the main entrance There's a VERY LOUD TV set in the waiting room showing Marketing ads that can't be silenced by any of the staff members. It's annoying. The check in is electronic and self serve.

Very rude, demeaning staff at this location. They act as…read morethough they are doing you a favor during their job. They are also very slow when they do decide to work. I would never come back to this lab. I will stick with East Side labs.

The lab is located on the first floor of a medical center building…read more They open at 9 am and there was no one before me at 9 am. The technician was very patient and professional. The process was quick and smooth. Much easier than to drive to the RI Hospital area and deal with traffic and pay parking.

I went to get lab work done in their School street location. When I walked in there were 3 elderly…read morewomen trying to figure out their appointment scheduler machine. Apparently Quest put this device in so they could save $$$ not having a receptionist. Not giving a damn that many elderly people are not computer literate. I told the elderly women, I would show them how. I punched in my data and scanned my drivers license in the device. It told me my appointment was in 3 Hours!!! Despite the fact that there were only 4 of us in the office!! I told the ladies I was leaving because I wasn't going to wait 3 hours to have a blood test that normally takes 20 minutes. I went to my usual lab where I get my blood work done and usually I am in and out in 20 minutes unless they are very busy. They said they had problems with Quest and no longer do their work. I went home to make an appointment at the Quest Lab again. The number I dialed was answered by a robotic responder $$$. Whoever program this thing must have been drinking booze and smoking dope at the same time. Needless to say I spent over a half hour and was not able to secure an appointment. Get use to it folks, wait till they fully roll AI out so they can eliminate more jobs $$$. When our Government promises heaven you can expect hell.

This is the worst quest diagnostic ever the staff is rude, not professional no clear directions and…read morevery impatient. I would not recommend anyone to go to that quest as a matter of fact, they should close that quest if you asked me.... They are too eager to go home instead of helping the patients. Checked in at 9:40 and was told after an hour of wait they couldn't serve me . Unacceptable.

I wouldn't normally leave a review for a medical lab but I noticed that this Quest has some bad…read morereviews. I have been coming here for years and they are the best I've ever dealt with. I used to pass out during blood work and these people (usually two women) are so kind, gentle and helpful that I barely get nervous anymore. Val who recently drew blood from me had the exactly demeanor needed to keep people relaxed in a stressful atmosphere. She was so quick I hadn't finished my part of the small talk before she was bandaging me up!' They have great hours and even during Covid times, walk in or appointment based. The waiting area and lab are clean, organized and their check in process is simple and safe. You can even choose to wait in your car and get a text when you should return. Becky, who took my insurance information and ID was very friendly and polite. Thank you Becky, Val & Quest of South Attleboro!!!

Absolutely disgusted with this place. I took my mother here today to get blood work on 2/19/25 well…read moreit's been over 2 hrs now waiting for them to take my mother's blood. That is rediculous to take blood. You should never have to wait 2 hrs to give blood that's insane. Unfortunately had things to do and could not get to them. I guess no good deed gos unpunished ever. If you make an appointment and miss it automatically you are charged. If you are late to an appointment you are either turned down and charged or scolded by a secretary or Dr for being late. However they can waste as much time of mine as possible with no consequences. They have no respect for their patients if this is the case. We have to respect their time yet they do not respect ours. I will send to it my mother never ever goes here again if I have to pay out of pocket for somewhere else.
