After today, I don't think I'll ever come back to this particular LabCorp location. I know how wait times can be during the day so I try to avoid it by waking up extra early to get to this LabCorp when they open at 7am. In the past, I've learned that they open their doors even earlier so you can at least sign your name and wait until they start calling people's names at 7am.
But on this particular day, I arrived some time around 6:40am that the office building wasn't even open. I waited a few minutes outside the door before starting to head to my car to wait. Then I hear the building door unlock so I open it and I head inside towards the LabCorp office. Obviously it was still locked since I had just walked in so I wait in the lobby. A lady walks in and I recognize her from being the one at the front desk and I smile at her and follow her to the office. But as she's opening the door she says uncongenially "We don't open until 7". So I say, "oh ok, so I can't wait inside?" And she says again, "We open at 7," and walks in. I got the impression she didn't want me to follow her so I wait in the lobby. A few minutes later a young lady walks in and I see her walking towards the LabCorp office and I hear the door open. I'm thinking she's probably inside and I'll just wait a few seconds to see if she'll come back out because it's only 6:50am. After like 15 seconds, I walk into the office and sure enough I see this young lady sitting down in the waiting room. I walk over to the sign in sheet and her name is already at the top of the list. I'm fuming inside and I'm so upset that I almost wanted to cry (I'm a very sensitive person). I know the front desk lady could tell my demeanor changed. If this front desk lady is going to be unrelenting about letting people in at a particular time, then she needs to be consistent about it. It's an awful feeling to be treated unfairly. As I waited, I looked up reviews of this place and even though they are about a year or older, it is still the same.
On the other hand, the technicians are phenomenal because not only are they friendly, they do a good job drawing my blood with less bruising. The facility is also pretty clean and it helps that this is close to where I live. If I were to rate based on the positives, of course I would give a higher rating.
This isn't my first time at this LabCorp and there were times I've had a pretty good experience. I've gone here multiple times this past year for regular lab works and while I was pregnant I've had to do the 3 hour glucose test, too. However, after my experience today, I'm going to have to check out other LabCorp locations. read more
