Drawing blood - and/or the thought of it - usually makes me queasy. In the doctor's office, the…read more"assistant" almost always has an issue finding a suitable vein in my arm. Booking an appointment at LabCorp on NYC's UES 87th location, the Labcorp Phlebotomist had the touch of an angel. I didn't feel a thing! Plus there was no wait. They took me immediately after I checked in as I had booked an appointment in advance.

This office is infinitely better than the Quest lab I used last year in Pennsylvania…read more Seamless! I made an appointment online. I needed to change it. No sweat. With time to kill I walked in almost an hour early. They took me within minutes. The automated check- in process is easy. (It wasn't in PA.) Slide your ID and insurance cards in the kiosk -- and that's it. The phlebotomist was professional and pleasant, alerting me to a test my doctor ordered that may not be covered .... and how to proceed if it's not. Ten minutes in-and-out. After the appointment I received an email with instructions to receive results directly from Quest. Sure, why not?! A day later, the results arrived both from the lab and my doctor's office. (It's a good feeling when things work as they should.)

Fortunately, we got the most caring and kind nurse, Renata. She was so sweet and understanding, chatting away about this that, suggesting positive things to think about, asking what my daughter was going to have for breakfast when she leaves... and just like that, boom, she was done! We had a great experience with Renata and Quest Diagnostics today.

I had a 10:30 appointment for a simple blood test. I showed up at that time, checked in on the…read moretablet and waited. And waited. And waited. While my name was on the board in first position it was never called. 30 minutes goes by and people with later appointments are going in before me. Then an hour passes. Here is the key problem at this zoo: there is no human in charge of dealing with the people coming and going. Many people needed help using the check in service, and the other people waiting, including me, helped them. Every once in a while one of the people taking blood would pop into the room and be descended on by many people trying to figure things out. For me, I talked to FOUR different people and all of them said my name was in the system and to wait. And all four said they would take me next but that did not happen. Meanwhile, noon appointments were going in and one of them, who knew my plight, said that I should go first but your person said no. I had to force a conversation to get seen. She said she could see that it was a "system" error and that I had done everything right. I reminded her that earlier she had promised to check as she was aware of my extensive wait but she didn't follow up, either. In all, it took me almost two hours to get a blood test. Sitting that long with possibly sick people was unpleasant. This is the manifestation of what is going wrong with health care as one human being could have solved my problem.

They primarily only do blood tests, so they're great at drawing blood (so it seems). No appointments, you just walk in. I imagine that even on a busy day, you wouldn't be in here longer than 30 minutes. Not a 5-star because the staff members do not really talk to you. They just get it done and let you go. Still, not too bad if time is not on your side!
