After sitting for an hour, i decided to look at this Labcorp from the employee side. It's so incredibly busy due to being literally 2 blocks from Scripts. Imagine what this very small staff must put up with. So, be patient and understanding. Thank you ladies read more

Going on 30 minutes past appointment made. Came across client that was ahead of me without appointment. This location has always been prompt and efficient...maybe an off day. read more

This review concerns the higher up executive decisions to close several LabCorp offices in Encinitas, simultaneously not increasing staff at existing locations. My appointment at 9:30, for which I was on time, meant I was actually seen at 10:30. There was only one staff drawing blood and the waiting room was full of people with appointments, all at least :40 minutes overdue. People schedule around having to be work or other obligations, not honoring appointments promptly means the business structure at LabCorp is seriously broken . I'm looking at alternative labs in the future. read more

I went for a TB test, and found out that you have to prepay your visit. Look at the website and tell me where is that requirement???

I had such an amazing experience at this Labcorp location!! I am TERRIFIED of needles and almost always pass out from vaccines or blood draws, so when I went to check in, I asked the man who was working the front desk if they offer a reclining chair and butterfly needle and he was very nice about it! The check in process took only a few minutes (I did have an appointment) and Robin, who drew my blood was SO nice. She was so quick and gentle!! I was fully expecting to pass out while she was drawing my blood but she kept talking to distract me. I even laid there for a bit after she was done just to make sure I was good, and the man at the front desk kept an eye on me. Had to come back again today for another test and had the same experience. Would 100% could back here read more

Waited 1.5 hours for my reserved appointment because they said I did not have a doctor's order. They neglected to tell me until I went up to the desk and asked why I haven't been seen. Two days before I received a email for Lab Corp saying that they receive the doctor's order. This was at the Encinitas location. The staff was not helpful at all and almost surly. They couldn't figure out what blood tubes I needed and when I finally got my blood drawn, the next day I had a large bruise. The office was standing room only and I don't understand why they allow scheduling if the scheduled time was already over scheduled. Horrible experience, rude, incompetent staff. Avoid the Encinitas location especially. Won't be back and seriously shocked at how unprofessional this office is. read more

Terrible! I've spent 3 hours by now trying to get my tests done, and still not sure it's going to happen. Rude and unprofessional!

I came in for urgent blood work this morning and the experience has been incredibly disappointing. When I arrived, I was told to check in on the tablet, but when I asked a simple question, the staff was extremely rude and dismissive. After that, they left the front desk entirely, so I've been sitting here unsure whether I'm even checked in. I'm a walk-in, and someone else mentioned they've been waiting since 8 AM--it's now 10:30 AM. This isn't the first time I've felt "punished" for being a walk-in, which is why I tried a different location today. Unfortunately, it's no better. There's no one else in the lobby, and I can actually hear the staff taking a break in the back. This is by far the worst service I've experienced. read more

The experience at the Labcorp location was very disappointing. The front desk appeared disorganized, and we waited for more than two hours before being seen. When it was finally time for the blood draw, the staff member was unfriendly and seemed frustrated with her job, openly complaining about a lack of supplies. The area where the blood was drawn was also being used as an inventory storage space, which did not feel professional or appropriate for patient care. Additionally, during the process, a woman in the next booth became unwell while having her blood drawn. The phlebotomist had to ask my technician to assist her. When she returned to take my blood, she continued complaining about the patient who had felt sick, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. Overall, the experience did not reflect the level of organization, professionalism, or patient care one would expect in a medical setting. read more

Every time I go to Labcorp it's an hour wait or longer. Their customer service is terrible. They don't communicate well and don't have a dedicated counter person so the person drawing the blood has to work the counter too. Avoid them if at all possible. read more

Way overbooked! 3rd time in and its even worse!! Last time! And your employees here are just pissed because of understaffing!! Either that or they're just rude. read more

We were sent over right after a doctors appointment after receiving some unfortunate news. As I walked in I approached the front desk, which Isabella was sitting at. She looked up at me and waited until I said something for her to acknowledge us in the room. Isabella, should really be trained on customer service skills if she plans to be in the medical field. Also, using your AirPods while on the job while drawing blood should not be allowed under any circumstances. Once she had the time (empty lobby) she called me up to see my aunts orders,she asked if she had a card to put on file in case she had a patient responsibility which I said no. She then moved her head to look at my aunt (disabled) and says "she doesn't have a card to tap" and I said no a second time. Isabella, just know your nasty and unprofessional behavior at your job made our morning even harder after receiving the diagnosis we did this morning. Do better next time. Thankfully Jonathan drew my aunts blood and that was a positive experience so thank you Jonathan. read more

The service and easy scheduling was efficient and easy .. loved that I could schedule in a different state

I took my son here for a blood draw yesterday. He was very nervous, as am I with needles. Jonathan greeted us at the front and also did the draw. He was very professional, very nice, funny, and are the process less stressful for my son. I would absolutely come back to see him again for a blood draw! Thank you Jonathan! read more

Extremely rude and unhelpful man at the front desk. I would find any other lab to provide the needed services.

Very rude front desk worker. Completely unhelpful and unhappy to be at her job. She was very rude while talking to me, her tone of voice was extremely mean. read more

Don't go there to have a routine blood draw done! I can overlook the sadness of the dark, outdated office interior and the fact that I had to wait despite being on time for my appointment and nobody else in the waiting room. However, the nurse who does the blood draw is too much. She is cruel, quick and rough, which is why it will be painful and the spot will be bruised. She is polite and rude at the same time. Saying 'please', but her mannerism says she hates her job. I had many blood draws before and know how easy and gentle it can be. She yanks it in and you can't wait until it's over. I pulled away in pain on my first arm, so she did it again on the other side, blaming me for pulling away. Unbelievably terrible. Drive the extra miles to another facility, I implore you. read more

Labcorp - My two hurting arms from the blood draw - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Encinitas, California

Plan ahead and make an appointment when possible. If you can't, this location allows walk-ins. Reading all the horrible reviews about the long wait and bad customer service mentally prepared me for the worst. I was pleasantly surprised to walk in to an empty office, be taken in for my blood works immediately after checking in, and had an enjoyable conversation with the lab technician. All walk-ins should be prepared for a longer wait. If your schedule does not allow for a longer wait, leave and make an appointment. People with appointments will be called in first. Makes sense... LabCorp has a skeleton crew who run the front desk along with doing lab work in the back. I understand I got lucky with my scenario, but even if I had to wait, I would have been understanding of the situation. read more

THEY ARE OPEN !! November 2021 Demetrius was Fantastic ! A true professional!! I procrastinated this routine bloodwork ( ordered from Life Extension Foundation ) due to fear for 2 years . I had to get the order extended twice. Easy and completely painless. I walked in 1/2 hour before closing on a Friday. I checked in at their express kiosk with no appointment and was out in 15 minutes. Thank you again Demetrius!! read more

Best Labcorp in my opinion. Even though it is small and the wait time can be long, the staff is AMAZING :) I'll take long wait times any day for the great staff that is here. They always do their best and are caring and considerate. Highly recommend and am so thankful for their hard work! read more

Very appreciative of the timeliness of Labcorp! Had some issues with testing on the paperwork side but this team was on it!

Jonathan was great! I didn't have an appointment but he squeezed me in. He did a great job and I highly recommend.

This was such a smooth lab process. I came in without an appointment and was there right when they opened. I filled out my information and was in and out within 20 minutes! I had read reviews about Juliette being amazing but didn't think I would get her since those were from a few years ago, and when I got called back, I noticed her name tag and I immediately felt like I was in good hands. I had told her she was the reason I chose to come to this location and how I was hoping I got her and there I was! She was so sweet and so good at her job. I will definitely be coming back here! Fastest, nicest and smoothest process I've experienced getting my blood drawn:) read more

I went in as walk-in. Waited 20 minutes, still no acknowledgement from front desk / nurses. Waiting room is windowless and crowded. Nurses were rushed and one male nurse was even talking down to a gentlemen getting his labs done. I walked out and scheduled an appointment at the Saxony address. Was in an out in 10 minutes, nice view of ocean from lab, friendly staff, easy check-in. If you are squeamish with needles or have panic disorder, avoid this location at all costs. It is hell. read more

This location is closed!!! I was able to schedule a 2:45pm appointment online through their website, received an email confirmation and was able to check-in with their carside service only to find out the office was shut down due to staffing issues when i walked into the building. I was unable to complete my pre employment drug screen and almost lost a great job opportunity. And when i tried calling any other location, especially the closest one, the phone numbers went to a voicemail. Labcorp should really update their website and not let patients schedule online/check-in at a closed location. read more

Ample parking, instant service (I set an appointment online beforehand), efficient and friendly staff. Thank you Labcorp and I especially want to thank their stellar employee Juliette G. for giving me a WOW customer service experience! She was knowledgeable, professional and friendly all at once. 5 stars all the way! Bravo Labcorp and Juliette G., well done! read more

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! Juliette is the best for blood tests!! I will always go here every time I get my blood work done.

Best Labcorp I've ever been to. My sister and I went together to get our blood drawn and we never even felt a pinch. Juliette was AMAZING. Couldn't recommend her enough! read more

Online they show they open at 8:00am. Their sign out front of the door says they open at 8:00am. It is 8:45am now and a nurse is here without a key and the line is fully down the hall. Don't waste your time at this location if you have to go here try another one. read more

Showed up at my appointment and was denied the blood draw because their system did not account for my appointment. I showed the the proof and KENDRA was the front desk girl. Extremely rude and berated me I'm front of the entire office. I will be calling their corporate to ensure she is no longer employed there. Terribly run location do not come here read more

Very incompetent! The lady on a Saturday morning checking customers in had everyone waiting in lock step outside. She wouldn't let anyone in to use the machines that were set up to check people in. We all had to wait outside until she was ready to do it herself. Rude and not able to multi task. Unfortunately they ate the only lab open on a Saturday. You would think lab Corp would put their best people to work on such a busy day. read more

The lady at the desk (who drew my blood) was fantastic and kind. Usually I have to wait forever for things like this (blood draws and drug screens; I travel a lot for work and have to get many of these) and I was in and out, quickly and efficiently. Thanks ladies! read more

I tried to call a location today an was out through a tortuous button pushing process with repetitive information prompts trying different ways to steer me away from talking to a human. After 3 minutes of this cruelty, I finally reached a person only to find out it was actually a call center. Aargggg! read more

Juliette took my blood today. She is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. My body tends to be uncooperative when it comes to giving blood, but she was able to hit the vein, draw the blood, and I didn't even feel it! The facility is nice. I had no trouble finding a parking spot. I was in and out quickly. A+++ read more

Couldn't have asked for a better visit. Came in to check my Cove antibodies, in between work so no insurance. Only costs ten bucks, the draw was painless and I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. Had the results online the next day! read more

I could not have had a better visit. Demetrius provided exceptional professional service to me today at the Lab Corp office on 351 SANTA FE DR STE 210, ENCINITAS, CA 92024. He even stayed into his lunch break to complete my workup and was simply helpful beyond all expectations. Julie was also extremely kind and helpful to me also especially considering I never was able to schedule an appointment. Thank you both!! read more

I went here for my employment drug screen, as well as blood testing a few weeks later. My drug screen was hassle free even though I did not have an appointment (just make sure you go during their designated drug testing window). The lady at the front is efficient and kind, while the man who did my drug test was quick and professional. For my blood draw, I went in on a Monday around 10:30. I had to wait, which I expected as I did not have an appointment. The wait time was not absurdly long as the staff works the front desk and preforms the testing. The woman did my blood draw and did a fantastic job. It's not fun to get your blood drawn but she was kind and made it as painless as possible. I will go back here for my testing in the future! read more

In a time of Covid running rapid, the lack of social distancing and the lack of front desk and patient communication during this required blood draw is abysmal. As a clinical office, they should be ashamed of themselves. It's been over 30 minutes with 12 people packed into a waiting room that comfortably seats 4 people with 6 feet norm distancing. Furthermore, they're in a clinical office building where they receive referrals from doctors daily... poorly executed and someone should hold them accountable. read more

The woman who did my lab work today was extraordinarily wonderful. I wish I remembered her name. From start to finish she offered the perfect combo of empathy and professionalism that we all hope to receive. Overall efficient process, but I particularly want to thank the woman who did my labs. read more

It was an e. Ellen's, fast service! High.y recommend! The best service in the quickest time! The staff was professional and friendly! read more
