I have had to visit so many Labcorp locations overs the years for various blood work. This Labcorp location is one of the top that I have been to, it is located inside a large medical complex across from Torrance Memorial Hospital, ample parking and fast elevators! The best part is the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I however recommend that you find an alternate location if you are intending to do a 3-4 hour glucose test at this location. They do not have a private room where you can lounge in a nice recliner and watch TV. Instead you have to sit and wait in the waiting room which only has uncomfortable chairs, no TV, no fan, and only 2 national geographic magazines (Bring a Phone Charger!!!). During the glucose test you are not allowed out of sight (so you don't cheat somehow or get dizzy and pass out) so the waiting room is your only option. This is my second baby and with the first I did the test at the Madison St location which does have a private mom room with a comfy chair and a TV, it was night and day more enjoyable. I would highly recommend visiting the Madison location for your glucose testing needs over this location. However if you have a quick in and out appointment this should definitely be your first choice! read more

Review from my wife for the 3440 Lomita Blvd., Torrance location: My family has always had bad experiences in terms of customer/professional service in this particular facility. Our first experience (even before Covid) at this facility was being abruptly stopped by someone at reception across the room gesturing and telling us rudely to step out and wait in the hallway because the facility was at capacity. The policy was understandable, but the way it was enforced was unacceptable. Almost every visit to this facility has been that type of rude behavior from the front desk. Because of our experience with this facility, we have always tried to schedule our appointment with other labs. This time it slipped through the cracks and we ended up back in this hell-hole this morning for my son's lab work. Well, the front desk didn't disappoint -- you'd think a company would get their act together as I'm sure you've had many complaints about the same issues. I was asked to sign and date a form with regard to the insurance. I saw two sets of where to sign and date and asked her which one to sign. She rudely told me "On the top, you got your glasses on." What the hell???? Is this how you treat your patients??? I am legally blind, but you shouldn't have to know that to be courteous. I am offended by your practices in your front office. Luckily for me, another lady at your front office pointed out where I needed to sign. She was much nicer than the other rude-ass lady you employ!!! read more

I've been to this location 2 times, and both times, the ladies working there have had really bad attitudes. Their bedside manner is non-existent and they really need to improve their attitudes and how they talk to people. Chances are, the people coming into the lab are already not feeling good and don't want or deserve rudeness. Today, I came into the office to take an H pylori breath test. I was struggling to get the cap off of one of the bags and I said the cap wouldn't come off. The tech Diane said, "its you", like there was something wrong with me. She then mumbled something under her breath. Is that really appropriate or necessary? The employees act like they don't want to be there and look miserable. If you don't enjoy helping people, then you probably shouldn't be working in the medical field. It's also really uncomfortable when you're getting lab work done and the employees are talking about their personal life and making religious statements/comments. That doesn't belong in the workplace, ESPECIALLY when patients are present. Unprofessional. I've filed a complaint with LabCorp. This office needs to get it together. read more

Absolutely the WORST for timely and courteous staff. LabCorp use to have alot of local options for offices but has trimmed out to only a few and with It, their ratings and courteous services too. My Mom, well over 80, had to wait for too long and when I had to return with one of her samples, I to had to wait in line to "just drop it off"!!! Staff was Rude and of No Help with any questions... AVOID IF YOU CAN!!! read more

Came here around 10:30am for my 2 hour glucose tolerance test as a walk in on a Tuesday. Upon arrival I was greeted by the receptionist and went through filling out the paper work I brought in, waited for them to call me and handed them the filled out paperwork with my insurance card. I was in the back getting my blood work done within 15 mins since walking in and was told exactly what was the procedure to follow to make sure my test was done correctly. Every step was easy with no confusion. The staff was pleasant too - no attitudes or stuck up people compared to other places I have been to which was refreshing. I did call ahead of time and was told that I may have to wait a while before getting thw blood work done as this office does not close for lunch as their other lab in Torrance does but I was attended quickly and only had to wait 15 minutes as I had mentioned. read more

Whether you make an appointment or not it takes forever. If you arrive early for your appointment time you are still waiting an hour to be seen. read more

I dont know why i did not choose labcorp from the beginning. I had previously gone to quest diagnostic which is next door to labcorp and the girls at quest are rude and have no experience in customer service! Especially for the elderly i feel they should be treated w respect and patience they pist me off on how they spoke to people but anyway labcorp i been there couple of times i feel there is more organized ways there is definitely more room but its always busy plus the lady in the front desk very polite very friendly and made u feel like she wants to help. They have water on the side and restrooms ... i will definitely continue to come here not to the other place. Again i dont know why i didnt choose labcorp since the beginning. read more

Labcorp - My son got a blood draw and this is how it looks. No bruising :) - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Torrance, California

Very rude and no consideration for patients. They speak to patients in such a disrespectful tone and make patients feel stupid for asking questions. Avoid this location if you can. read more

I have been coming to this labcorp within the last 4 years. I hate getting my blood drawn. However, this is a place that is usually quick and the employees are good at what they do. Have I mentioned how sweet they are? They're extremely nice! I have not had a bad experience here and I appreciate that they have not popped any of my veins. The place itself is very clean. Which is a big plus read more

Came in for something to pick something up. Very sick and cannot stay somewhere more than 10 minutes without running to the bathroom, which is clear from the test ordered. The girl at the front desk says ok I'll get it for you in a second. I'm standing there 10 minutes watching her do paperwork. I go outside then come back in and ask how much longer and she goes "yeah I'll get it now." Really? How little compassion can you have? This is what's wrong with healthcare. Get another job if you hate it so much. read more

Although they have convenient hours, the wait is HORRENDOUS!!!! I walked in on a Saturday and waited 2hrs. Supposedly they were short handed but 2hrs to get blood drawn? I then thought "I should have made an appointment"... but in talking to other ppl waiting I learned some had made appts and they too had to wait 2hrs. That is unacceptable. I was at their mercy because I needed my blood drawn that day and I couldn't go back another day. To make matters worse, the receptionist (Betty or something like that) was extremely unprofessional, rude and I was ready to slap her. First, don't expect the patient to shout out their Date of Birth, Phone # or anything else you need to complete the sign in process. You call them up to the check in area, and give them their privacy. I am sensitive to this because I've been a victim of Identity Theft. She then started complaining (very loudly) that she was going to have to stay longer than expected due to the amount of patients that showed up, even though she said "this is the way it is every Saturday." I would expect a manager to make sure there is enough people to take care of patients especially when YOU know Saturday's are busy. I will be making a call to the facility and speaking to the manager. I hope I don't need additional lab work but if I do, I won't be visiting this facility. read more

I give a one star merely for the receptionist at the front desk who checks you in. The phlebotomist were great! Especially Diane, she's a sweetheart!!! The receptionist Veronica was the rudest person that I've encountered. She lacked common social and people skills that is typically required for such a position. Dealing with multiple people day in day out you'd think that she'd know better. She needs to find another career choice. Instead of asking nicely for information she demanded and snapped at clients. I even complained to other coworkers and they recommended to file a complaint. If coworkers don't enjoy your communication skills, you've got to go!! read more

First off, very nice inside, that's the only positive thing I have to say. I'm a licensed phlebotomist, so with that said, here's the bad: 1) the lady who drew my blood was rude! 2) refused to used a butterfly needle even though I have super tiny veins (almost like a child), which is why they couldn't draw my blood at the doctor's office. 3) I needed a glucose test which requires fasting, she never asked me if I was fasting. 4) it took wayyyy too long to draw 5 tubes because she didn't use the proper needle. It would've taken 2 seconds instead of almost 5 mins of she would've used the proper equipment. I will never come back to this labcorp! read more

I hate getting my blood drawn - I literally can't look while they do it and stay distracted by the phone. Since I had to fast for this blood work, I got here pretty quickly. I was planning on going to one of the other places that opened at 8 (so I could sleep in a little) but ended up waking up early and arriving here at around 7:15ish. With no appointment, I was in the door and never even sat down in the waiting room - they took me back immediately. I waited less than 5 minutes in a chair before someone was in to do the blood draw. The lady was nice and quick - not the most gentle blood draw I've ever had done, but not horrible rough either (and like I said, I'm a wimp when it comes to needles so I'm probably more sensitive than most). I was in and out in maybe 10 minutes. I made it just in time though - when I left, the waitig room had gotten packed. read more

I've been here a handful of times, and so far they have all been pleasant. The wait times are longer in the morning due to people fasting for their bloodwork. Overall all the employees have been cordial and sweet. Treat others as you would want to be treated. ;) read more

There must have been some staff changes or try to come on a week day. The last couple of times I was here, the receptionist was friendly, multi-tasked efficiently fast, and explained everything to me twice. The guy who drew my blood was even more efficient and swift. They were the same team every time I visited since last December. Compared to other lab corps I've been to in the area - this is by far the best lab facility. read more

I pretty much like this LabCorp, I've been here a bunch of times to get my blood drawn. I have small veins, so people usually have a hard time. All of the phlebotomist a are really good.. Except the young Hispanic girl with all the tattoos. She's usually at the reception desk, and will draw blood when busy. Plz DO NOT let her, esp if you don't have easy veins!! She fished around on both arms many times!! Both my arms were bruised for weeks :( I wish I kept the pictures.. But everyone one else is great (: Don't forget your insurance card!!! read more

I get it clinics get busy. But Monica, you cant be dismissive of your company's patients. Maybe try some eye contact and more than one minute to say "we don't do walk-ins". Also don't say "Thankyou" in the most condescending way and be surprised when you're told "You're welcome" in an even more condescending way. Lab Corp, please train your employees better or fire them and get competent ones instead...I don't know, but bottom line do something. read more

Have been here twice the last year for employee hiring process. My travel nurse company uses Labcorp for the hiring process. I have been to other Labcorp locations, and this one doesn't do it for me. Long wait times, somewhat disorganized, closes during the day (annoying when the wait times are so long), overall not well run. Staff is friendly but needs some work. Recently visited another LabCorp in Orange County, they got me in and out much quicker and their hours of service were much more duable for me. read more

Compared to other facilities or locations this is rather nice. Staff was friendly and attentive. I came at about 9.30 am and waited less than 5 min. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

I just had the most painful blood draw of my life. Drawing blood has never phased me, but this phlebotomist's needle placement.....I reached my car and still felt nauseous from the pain. My vein is highly visible and very easy to draw from. It could have been worse. He didn't have to poke and repoke me multiple times; he was able to draw blood with the first placement, but it was still exceptionally painful. That said, I came before 7:30 a.m. and waited for only one minute. It seems to pick up quickly though. read more

This Labcorp has the most efficient, kind, professional staff I've ever encountered. Their expertise is unmatched. I will always go to this office from now on. Exceptional service & care thank you read more

Long line to check in with No social distancing. After check in you must stand in lonny. No seatings for handicap. At least 20 people waiting to be called for over an hour. This is just wrong. read more

Thank you Diane for your thoroughness. Front office although vey busy where organized and efficient. Saturday office hours with appointment only unless you have a STAT order. read more

I am writing about my experiences with Chantay Franklin, phlebotomist, at LabCorp located at 3440 Lomita Blvd, #136, in Torrance, California. Over the years I have been told many times that I am what is commonly called a 'hard stick' and more times then not, the draw wasn't successful and I had to reschedule. I recently had to have blood work done and was dreading it. I went to LabCorp and Chantay Franklin was the person assigned to draw my blood. I told her of my previous bad experiences and she was very sympathetic and understood my doubts about her success. She offered me reassurance and with that and her excellent clinical skills she got the job done the first time!! Ms. Franklin is outstanding in both her clinical and people skills!! I want to take this opportunity to thank her again! read more

I have been coming here since 2014 and it was always nice until the past 3 or 4 months. The service here since August has been downright awful and horrible. The nice and friendly receptionist who used to be here for 14 years, quit in July and was replaced by a very rude and unfriendly receptionist. All of them are jive but this particular one is the worst. She doesn't even smile when she approaches or greets patients or talks to them in a polite and friendly tone. She always talks to patients in a tone that's very unfriendly as if she's always mad or frustrated at them--she has definitely an attitude!! She also looks extremely unprofessional with both her arms covered in ugly and disgusting tattoos and an earring in her nose!!!!THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT HOW A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL SHOULD BEHAVE AND LOOK WHEN THEY ARE DEALING WITH PATIENTS. She was very rude to me the last two times I came here for Lab work; talking to me like I was trash, as if I didn't matter. The second time she did the same thing to me so talked to her in a bitchy tone back!! I am a nice person and I talk to people and behave to people very nice and respectfully but when a person disrespects me back or does not reciprocate the kindness--you bet I'm going to give them a taste of their own medicine!!!!! She needs to learn how to talk in a polite and kind tone to patients . Word from the wise--HOW YOU SAY SOMETHING IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU SAY. When I went there Thursday, which was the second time--she looked like a gang banger--bulky sweats with an earring on her nose. You know the way you appear to patients in any medical field is very important. If you work in a lab or any kind of medical place, you should be required to wear nice clothes that you would wear to a job interview or church. IT IS NOT PROFESSIONAL AND CERTAINLY DOES NOT LOOK PROFESSIONAL TO SHOW OFF ARMS FULL OF TATTOOS AND WEAR EARRINGS ON THEIR NOSE OR LIP. I really miss the old receptionist who left. She was so awesome to the patients; so nice, kind, and friendly and polite to the patients who came here. And she always looked professional wearing a nice cardigan and blouse and pants. She was always happy to help patients on any matter as well. The lab techs here though are still very nice at least but it's not enough for me to give this lab a passing grade. Maybe when the people at the front desk become nice and polite like the way it used to be, maybe I'll give 3 stars. This place's grade is definitely a D. Very disgusted by the way they treated me the last two visits. It's sad if the patient is nice but the kindness is not reciprocated back!!!!! Definitely moving to another Labcorp. read more

Efficient, fast and friendly services... And, the great thing about Labcorp is that you can get your own personal results on their ws before your physician gets them... Very kool... read more

Labcorp - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Torrance, California

I've been having my blood drawn at this location for at least six years and have never had a problem. In fact, I went there this morning for a "fasting" blood test. Checked in at 7:15 and left at 7:30. I'm a "hard draw" because my veins roll and collapse and are hard to locate but the phlebotomists at this facility have no problem taking my blood. I highly recommend them. read more

People here are rude, does not even give you proper directions. You stand there waiting for them to chitchat before they attend to you. Bad customer service read more

Nice friendly and gentle service. Never had wait more then 10 minutes.

This is a very clean facility with qualified, friendly staff who make the process smooth, quick and virtually painless. I'm so glad I found this lab. I can't remember the name of the gentleman technician who assisted me but he was great. I don't know why it's so hard to find good labs around here. This is my family's go to lab from now on. read more

This place is horrible! The wait is insane and the staff are very unfriendly. Why are places like this even open. Came in at 6:30 no one at receptionist desk for half hour before she came out. Bad experience. read more

For sanitation alone this place gets only 1 star and that's just to make myself feel better about coming here for lab tests. Pray for me. Standard Operating Procedure for this place wasn't thought out too well: First they have you give them a urine sample in the same bathroom as shared by those in the waiting room. You must take your sample out of the bathroom by holding your urine filled cup and walk down a hallway, passing those that are currently giving blood. Sanitation wise you just pee'd in a cup and after washing your hands you are required to hold this urine filled cup, walk out the bathroom (you are touching the door knob) and then walk this urine sample 20 feet past several blood drawing stations. I really think this needs to be re-thought out. The location in San Pedro was much better thought out. You leave your sample in the bathroom. read more

So rude here and over crowded !! Not enough staff and the place is too small for the amount of people that show up !!

no insurance. was told to pay in cash before blood would be drawn. paid in cash clearly the front person stole it as bill says amount is still due. these thieves deserve to burn in hell. read more

Their hours are nice and flexible but the receptionist is not exactly the friendliest. I got seated in a timely manner though and they were pretty systematic about going through the motions of getting my blood drawn and scheduling for getting me the results. They also have many locations which helps. read more

In my experience, the wait times haven't been bad at all. But the Hispanic lady at the front desk must hate her job. She definitely shows it. She's just rude and unpleasant. My blood was drawn by a woman named Sherry. She was a sweetheart. I only come here because it's close my Doctor's office. read more

I don't know if they are slow or understaffed long waiting time,receptionists are slow and talk like they are drunk!!!

Took my son here for a blood test a while ago, the older lady who drew the blood was calm, patient and did a great job. Receptionist was very friendly, BUT two of the the younger people working in the back had the worst attitudes I've ever experienced in a medical environment. Blatantly rude, hostile, ignorant, and made a rude comment about my fiancé, about my son, who was crying at the time. Medical staff needs to get off their high horse and remember we are customers, so tired of putting up with their attitudes. read more

When I walked in, I felt like I was at the DMV. People in line waiting, the waiting room had basic chairs and old tile floors. The staff was friendly, and the individuals drawing the blood were clean, neat and double checked the spelling of my name. Blood draw was fine as I always drink water prior to having blood drawn and request the butterfly needle. No problems, easy! Problems come with their billing. The administrative staff must be the worst ever - always double billing, or posting late. I am always double checking their work or calling to make sure payments are credited. Secondly, LabCorp online website (to obtain a copy of blood work) is not user friendly at all - the layout is very busy, so you will have to take the time to navigate to find what you are looking for. It is also tied to Microsoft ... read more
