Temporarily closed. Not sure for how long. Better before coming this way. Valet parking

They don't always allow walk-ins. You'll know when you waste your time getting there.

Absolutely unacceptable level of care. My appointment for bloodwork was scheduled over a week out as I have a tight schedule with work. I received the confirmation email the night before saying that my appointment was still going to be at this location. When I arrived in the AM, this sign was posted, saying that their location was closed for the day, and instructed me to go somewhere else. There was no email nor text to the patients saying that the office would be closed that day. I had to cancel my bloodwork and subsequently my annual physical early next week because the next lab appointment that would fit my schedule was over a week away. As I'm sure you know, annual physicals book out months in advance. When I tried to call the office location, the call line sent me to voicemail several times and the voicemail box was full. I was finally able to get in touch with someone on the 4th try. They were polite and apologetic, but at this point, I'll be seeking an appointment elsewhere. read more

Labcorp - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Labcorp has made blood tests easy to schedule and efficient to obtain. Never waited more than 10 minutes.

The staff here is very kind and professional. I had an early appointment, had no issues checking in and did not have to wait. Very efficient. read more

This used to be my go to location for blood draws. This is no longer the case after my experience today. I arrived on time for my appointment and waited for 30 minutes just to be told that my prescription expired. This has never been the case for me before. This location has a new staff member who is slow, rude, and unprofessional. This is disappointing as I used to enjoy coming to this location. read more

By far the worst location. The woman that opens at 7am rolls in at 7:04 and she's taking her sweet time to get ready and won't see patients until 7.30am. Labcorp might as well be DMV. They both suck a LOT! read more

Extremely unprofessional. I rarely write reviews and this absolutely warranted one. I waited over 30 minutes for my appointment and asked the woman at the front desk if I would be seen soon, since I was already put into a room and they had signs saying to notify front desk if waiting over 30 minutes. She responded that obviously someone would be seeing me soon. A few minutes later, I hear her loudly cussing to her coworker saying, "I wouldn't put people in rooms to stare at the fucking wall, etc etc." She continued for a couple minutes. I approached her on my way out and let her know that I hope her day gets better because that was extremely unprofessional. She informed me that she's a "grown ass woman" and can say what she wants. A second thing that occurred was the breaking of HIPAA. Another tech was in a room next to me with the door open, lying on the table, on speaker phone with another company, very loudly spelling out a name and birth date. This entire visit was extremely unprofessional and unethical. I won't be visiting this location again. read more

This is a nationwide laboratory, offering both selfpay on demand ordering for certain assays and/or medical professional requisition testing for their whole list, hopefully to be charged to your health insuance, with or without co-pay. Their list of tests is about as comprehensive as any laboratory, and they have some special ones, for example for lipids consider their NMR panels (various vrrsions). Their draw stations vary in how well operated, for example I had to switch from my long-time one to a better one recently, so if you don't like one, give it an appropriate review and move on. They are all over the place in location. There will be another not far away. You can also get a draw in many doctor's offices--ask if your doctor uses LabCorp. Pricing is now generally fairly competitive amongst the big name labs, who seem to look at each other's prices. But you can price shop too if going out of pocket, "on demand, self pay." read more

Fast efficient clean Great office and the nurse was wonderful with the drawing of blood read more

Horrible place. They do not care. Zero pride in their jobs. You'll never get seen. Go elsewhere Honestly, that form? Just take it anywhere else. Save yourself from endless waiting and terrible service. read more

I gave this place one star because it was easy to make an appointment, and I did not wait long at all. I had a pleasant staff experience. However, when she drew the blood, it was excruciatingly painful. When I looked at my arm later, I saw there was a big hole which told me she used a big needle. I reacted adversely when she put the needle in and it was clear I was in a lot of pain. She did not react to that at all and did not ask me if I was OK even though I was shaking and sweating, I get blood drawn all the time because I am a cancer patient and this is not usual. I hate writing negative, but I feel I have a duty to warn. When I got home, I was still in a lot of pain and iced it most of the day. I alternated it with heat as that was what I was told to do by my doctor. Fortunately, she did not hit the nerve, which is what I was afraid of, by the end of the day the pain was gone but this is ridiculous. Patient beware. read more

They gave me a false positive that made my doctor rush me to emergency where the emergency responders and I wasted a whole morning on a false alarm. read more

Not a positive experience. Rude and inept staff and used an unnecessarily large needle that made bloodwork needlessly painful. Not going to this location again. read more

There is NO REASON LabCorp employees should be soooooooo rude. Another reviewer calls them cranky; to me, it's rudeness.

Getting a hold of a person (willing to give me info ) was super annoying. I just wanted to find out how much a test was going to be. After being transferred 4 times I decided to go with a different company read more

Labcorp - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I have been coming here since they moved from across the street. I have NEVER had problems with the technicians or time spent waiting. Now... there is some sort of kiosk set up where you "check in" except that the traditional sign in sheet is still on the counter? It says "please sign in here" on the paper sheet. It also says "we know you are here". Myself and another woman waited about 45 mins each and the technician did not see us or look at the paper sign in sheet. We both assumed that the kiosk was for appointments only (because in the past it has been). Two other people went ahead of us before we finally got some help. To be fair, the technician is alone today. She's a nice lady and good with a needle! I do not have anything against this location but seriously, take down the old signage and replace it with ones that reflect your new check in process!!! read more

Understaffed and running late. It's a very slow process, so be prepared to have a charged phone, something to read and plan it in such a way that you don't feel unwell if you have to fast. The place is clean and they have a little water station. I don't know if I'll come back here though as bloodwork wasn't too gentle and the arm hurts. Bedside manner could be better, but that's because they are understaffed and having to do a lot. Once they talk to you one on one the fine just go in with low expectations. read more

I was at this lab for the 1st time this morning. Yikes, what an experience! Of course, it's a given that people are not thrilled to be here for blood work, but the tech that I interacted with acted as if she could care less. I was the 1st patient at 7 am, as that's the time that they open. This person started grilling me & asking me all types of questions about the medical codes that were mentioned on the paperwork, How would I know this? I'm not a medical person! I suggested that she call the Doctors office this morning when they opened. She had some difficulty in drawing the blood, but fortunately was able to fill up the necessary vials from one arm. She made some comments about having a runny nose & the sound of the running toilet. (???) I really couldn't get out of there fast enough after the lab work was completed! I was glad that I had found free street parking for the visit. Hopefully, when I do need blood work done, I'll try another office. This was not a good experience at all. I'm hopeful that I won't have any black & blue marks from the area that the blood was taken from. I did call the Doctors office to comment about the whole experience. read more

Terrible service. Starting with my phone call this morning where I called to ask if my paperwork had the San Diego facility listed can I still come to the Santa Monica location. Lisa, the receptionist was short with me and hung up before I could ask a follow up question. When I arrived, she was equally dismissive and rude. When I told her she misspelled my name on the paperwork, she reprinted the papers (incorrect a second time) and told me to sign them anyways. I fixed the spelling with my pen and she dismissed me with minimal communication, The whole facility is not welcoming, the equipment at Lisa's desk wasn't working properly (which may have contributed to her attitude). Tia, the phlebotomist, mumbled and was not communicative or helpful in anyway to me or the other woman in the lobby who had questions about her paperwork. Tia passively told her to "ask her" pointing to Lisa, who you can imagine was more than eager to help. The Wilshire facility is rated low, but I'm going to the 1450 10th St, Santa Monica facility next time. I should have checked Yelp first! read more

I had a quick visit here to get my blood drawn per my doctor's request. Arrived here at 7:08 AM, the office opens at 7 AM, and the lady in the front was still a tad cranky..and, also on the phone mind you. So, when she was talking, it was hard to tell if she was speaking to me or the person on the phone[eye roll]. You'd think a lab that opens at 7 AM would be used to early arrivals, but maybe I came on an off day..or before someone had their caffeine fix. Parking was a breeze: since I arrived early, I was able to park right in front of the building. The Suite # is 310 now, this wasn't listed on the building sign in front. I'd advise you to arrive early if you want to be in and out. Santa Monica parking kinda sucks otherwise. read more

This review is for Lauren who works here. Amazingly fast efficient polite and awesome Tech! In and out in 10 min. Yessss! Free street parking off 19th for 2 hours. Except street cleaning hours and stated. I love efficiency!!! read more

I just want to say that the team that was working at this Lab Corp location are amazing! I decided to pop in and get my most recent blood test right before work on Wednesday. I didn't realize that I was running a little behind schedule by the time I got to the office. One of the technicians asked me what time I needed to be at work and assured me that it would only be a few minutes since there were 2 of them working. They were super quick with processing my paperwork/billing. As soon as I knew it I was already in the room and received a painless blood draw. I made it to work with time to spare! read more

I've had nothing but good experiences here since they moved from the 1st to the 3rd floor. They are always super nice and have no problem finding a vein on the first try. I'm never there more than 20 minutes. read more

I've had two appointments here. Both times the person taking my blood did a great job. Didn't hurt a bit! The first time I went in, I must have been lucky because I was in and out within 15 minutes. The next time, I went at the same time of day (8:05 am) and it took almost 45 minutes, and the waiting room was PACKED. Probably 10 people in the tiniest waiting room ever. After waiting for 20 minutes or so, some guy walks and and says "I have an appointment"! WHUUUT!? I didn't know you could make an appointment! DANG, DANG, DANG. Well, there you have it folks, make an appointment! You can even do it through their website. read more

Whatever you do, do NOT get your blood drawn here!!! I had the worst experience. There was only one tech. She was so rude beyond belief. I should have left, but I stupidly stayed. After waiting for almost an hour, she tells me "I'll take your papers now and go sit in that room". I requested to have blood drawn on my left arm since I'm right handed. She said "No, I will draw blood wherever I can find a vein". She used the tourniquet and left it there for almost 20 minutes because she couldn't find a vein. My arm was turning blue. She didn't care. Then she tried to blame me for not having veins. She wasn't joking either. I've never had anyone not able to draw blood. Sure, my veins are a little hard to find, but the professional phlebotomists always knew how to find them. This woman should not be drawing blood. She poked my veins twice on the left arm. She didn't get enough blood. By this point, it has been 30 minutes since I've sat down on this chair. My patience was wearing thin. Not to mention my arm was hurting really bad. After she retracted the needle from my arm, she put a cottonball on it without applying any pressure and just walked off. I had to quickly grab the cottonball and hold onto it. That's the most basic thing about drawing blood. You've got to put pressure on the vein after!!! So unprofessional! It doesn't end there. So, she continued with my right arm. Poked me twice again. By the second time, she got frustrated with me! Telling me that I'd need to go to another lab because she couldn't find my veins. I just don't understand why she was frustrated with me since it's her job to find my veins. It's not as if I could do something about my small veins! Eventually, we had enough blood drawn but I was pretty bruised and in a lot of pain. She was extremely unprofessional and rude. I will NEVER go to another LapCorp again. Never! I don't know what the other places are like, but please spare yourself and not go to this one. There's a crazy tech who doesn't know phlebotomy 101. At the end of it all, I had to ask her for some tape for my cottonball. And no, she didn't apply pressure either. read more

Went to labcorp this morning to have blood drawn. I saw on a google map that there was a parking structure allegedly nearby, but I couldn't find it even after circling a couple of times. Ended up finding a free non metered spot on the street across from the lab (but beware! Lots of spots were no parking from 9am onwards). So if you go early in the day you may find free street parking. I made an appointment online (go to Labcorp.com and select your location; you can make a same day appointment as long as it is greater than 2 hours prior to appointment time). You can also walk in. Appointment was for 8am. I arrived at 7:40 am. No one in the waiting room (good thing, it's tiny!). I was out by 7:50am. Paperwork did not take long (all I had to do was give her a copy of license and insurance card and physicians orders) since the computer imported my address /phone from the online form to make the appointment. The lady was super nice, skilled, and we had a nice chat. Overall, pleasant experience. read more

I know LabCorp has been cutting back on some locations and today, the listed phone number going to a fax makes me wonder if this office is still in business. I'll just go back to my usual one - on Wilshire @ 18th. Most of my experience with Lab Corps has been good, except for the time they lost my blood work entirely and had to do a rush to get it done in time for a flight. So ... assuming this office is as good as the one I use a lot, I'd give them 4.5* - but I'd have to give them 0* if this office is closed. Call first, and if they haven't fixed the phone number in their ad, I'd advise skipping this location entirely Even if they are open, that lack of attention to necessary detail should be enough to scare you away. Hope this was helpful read more

In their effort to save money LabCorp has shut down a couple of branches in Santa Monica leading to interminable waits even if you have an appointment. It's simply not possible to wait more than a half an hour first thing in the morning which is usually when you need to get your blood drawn after 12 hours of fasting. LabCorp needs to up their game and open more branches because there were at least five other people waiting for more than half an hour and we all had appointments read more

I have been to this lab a couple of times. The first time it took 10-15min. A friendly young man took my blood without any problem. The second time was today and I was in and out in 6min!!! I couldn't believe it. No one was waiting. By the time I was done with my urine sample, the phlebotomist had the chair ready for me. She managed to take my blood with ease. Well, she wasn't the friendliest, but she did her job. Keep in mind, that I am not aware about the parking situation, because I walked to this place. I know they have a big parking structure (no idea about the fees), but parking on the street is hard in this area. Also, they changed their business hours. Now they close at 3:30PM, not 4:30PM. Lunch is between 12:30PM and 1:30PM read more

Went in at 8:15 AM on a Tuesday morning with no appointment. I was seen within 10 minutes. Tia was running the desk and was the phlebotomist on duty. She was very businesslike and professional. Not a lot of warmth but I didn't take that personally. I've had horrible experiences with blood draws in the past... many redos, often times painful... So I'm usually prepared for the worse. Tia is a PRO and it shows! I could FEEL her precision. Needle in and out with barely any notice by me. I barely had time to find Waldo on the poster in the wall that's set up as a distraction. Amazing! Tia did such a good job that I felt compelled to write this review to encourage any others with the fear of needles brought on by bad experiences By the time I left, Tia's sweetness emerged. We parted with smiles and she cheered me, Good job! Even though I HATE needles, I have to say, I left happy. read more

Very professional and the staff was so friendly. Thank you for making the process smooth and easy.

I have been continuously redirected and given mixed information from different LabCorp employees. When dropping off my first sample, the nurse was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Without any communication with me, I later found out from my doctor that Lab Corp took too long to run my sample and had allegedly sent me a new sample in the mail. After two weeks, I still hadn't received a sample, so my doctor placed another sample order for me to pick up. The first Lab Corp location (Playa Vista) didn't have the sample and sent me to go to another lab corp (Santa Monica) which allegedly had the sample container I needed. When I went, they claimed they couldn't give me the sample in-person, despite giving it to me in person the first time, and that they had to ship it to me. I have kidney issues that cannot be treated without the results from this sample and it has now taken me over a month. This is ridiculously ineffective and poor service for a company that's supposed to help people in need of medicinal help. read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BABY THERE! They admittedly have almost no experience with babies or will send someone in with your baby with no experience. They missed on the first attempt. They do not wipe down the seats in between patients. I couldn't imagine a worse experience. Needed to get blood drawn and literally walked out after over an hour. There was also a line of people complaining so I don't think my experience was a one off read more

I've been going to this location for four years. It used to be called lab West, I'm pretty sure. I never had a problem with the service then and recently I went again 4 blood test and found the same great service and expert phlebotomist. I've never made an appointment and I've never had to wait or be there for longer than 45 minutes. Parking can be a little tricky. I wouldn't recommend the expensive parking lot just south of the laboratory, the one under Sunrise Convalescent Hospital. I found it best to park on the street for free or use meter parking. read more

I was sorry to hear that the very sweet woman who handled the Lap Corp. on 10th St. in Santa Monica is no longer there. That facility is closed. I went to the one on 15th and I was met with indifference verging on being rude. It's such a 180 from my prior experience on 10th St. They now use a machine to check you in and take pics of drivers licenses and insurance cards. This removes the human element, however that was probably good in this case, it was less time I had to spend with the woman who would eventually draw my blood. She handled that part well, and the rest was mediocre at best. I will look for a new place after this experience. Before I went there, I noticed they had a three star rating here. Do you folks at Lab Corp. ever read these. Because there are so many bad reviews here. I had Lisa today and this shouldn't be. If I want to be treated poorly, I would have a conversation with my ex-wife. read more

They are so nice here, and it's easy to access. The parking is past it on 15th and it's expensive but if you are in and out it's not too bad. I usually care if the facility is clean and easily accessible, and the doctors/staff are very nice, helpful & patient. read more

This was the worst medical experience I have ever had. The only other place I have seen deal with customers with such incompetence was the DMV. Both the women who helped me out acted as if they did not want to talk to me and made no effort to help me. They also do not even have the key to the bathroom on the floor of their building; which should say it all for a medical facility. read more

I used this lab as it was suggested by my Dr. Since I finally have insurance I did not need to drive clear over to Beverly Hills to have my blood tests. I called the office and they let me know that I did not need an appointment. So I went in the day before my appointment with my dermatologist. I am on Accutane, so I have to have my blood drawn monthly. I arrived at 11:55am. I checked in and they asked for paper work. I did not have any bc my Dr. said I just needed to tell them what it was for. The woman at the front desk was obviously irritated and said I needed to leave and come back with paper work. I asked if I could just call and ask my Dr. to fax it over. She said, "Well I hope you know we close at 12:30 for lunch." OK... My Dr. faxed the paperwork over in less than 5 minutes. Thank goodness I still had about 20 minutes before they closed down for lunch, so I did get my blood taken that day. I have NEVER had it hurt so much in my life. She was so rough and at one point asked, "Are you going to puke?" That seemed fairly unprofessional. My arm swelled almost immediately and I literally could not move my arm for three days. It took a solid three weeks for the swelling and bruising to go away. It was a horrible experience and I hope people read this review and avoid this place at all costs. read more

Labcorp - 11 days after having my blood drawn. :( - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I hated that I came to this office. The other LabCorp that I've been to were pretty professional except for this one. There was no reason for me to be there for 45 minutes when there were two phlebotomist there and I was the only client. They were so busy chitchatting about their personal life and were even bad-mouthing their office's terrible management very loudly like I wasn't there to hear them. I'm never going back. read more
