*** UPDATE After today's experience not even an hour after placing my review and the rudeness I experienced I can see why people rated this place low. I am really disappointed. I work for Labcorp on the health and wellness screening side and also for 16 different health and wellness companies; I would never be so cold and showing annoyance with someone who came to a screening. I was greeted with a frown and made to feel like a hindrance. I also didn't get to see the lab orders printed out or the labels put on the tubes I brought in. Protocol was definitely not followed. So if the supervisor who reacted to my first review sees this, you need to speak to whoever was working today. My daughter's lab orders are for a rare genetic muscle disease and I hope they were labeled and poured off after I left. Now I have to add this place to the list to avoid for mine and my daughter's bloodwork. I strive to make every individual feel welcomed and heard when I interact with them and it's sad to see this type of behavior. Unfortunately, it seems to be getting worse as people have reported.
I am a self employed phlebotomist and I don't understand the bad ratings here. As someone who works in the field I guess I understand that not every blood draw is the same and they all aren't quick in and outs. Getting a difficult stick can sometimes set you back 20 minutes or more just trying to find a vein, especially medically fragile patients.
I've never had an issue with the staff. They have always been professional and courteous to me. I frequently have to drop off samples and this is always my go to. They are knowledgeable and are always willing to help if I have questions about my personal blood draws or my daughters.
I think that people need to realize these phlebotomist are hustling all day long, what you can't see on the backside of the lab is all the extra work and effort that has to go into processing your samples, paperwork and a multitude of other things. These phlebotomist are doing 5 peoples jobs. So please remember not to go into a lab expecting immediate help as they may actively have a needle in someone's arm and that person is being taken care of, and when it's your turn you will be too! And if your phlebotomist is a good stick, let them know! read more
