So after an hour I went up to see what the deal was and the lady told me (quite rudely) that I'd missed my appointment and would have to wait as a walk-in. Which was ridiculous, because they had told me to wait when I got to the front of the line. Afterward, I saw the lady at the front desk wandering around in the stores during hours, which shows how committed they are to wasting clients time. Never going back to this location.

Additionally, the seats in the private "rooms" seemed nice, clean, and comfortable. Personally, I feel that especially because they are a medical clinic they really should offer paper towels in the washrooms. It feels like a budget issue rather than trying to be environmentally friendly. Other than that my visit here felt relatively ok. Staff were professional.

I've been to so many LifeLabs, I've lost count. But BY FAR, this is the absolute best site, hands…read moredown. Here are the reasons: -efficiency. They are appointment-based only. No walk-ins. So you are assured a spot and a time, with minimal waiting. -large and bright office, and impeccably clean. -FREE WI-FI. (This is a real rarity at other lab sites). -more services are offered here than at many other LifeLab sites. Examples: EKG's, cardiac holder monitors, etc. -Professionalism of staff. A female checked me in (I didn't get her name) and although she was somewhat aloof, she was thorough and organized and I had zero wait time. My tech was Ian and he was phenomenal. I have had to get cardiac monitors and EKG's frequently and he was the most thorough when it came to instructions and, wow, they even provide you with a mesh "vest" over the monitor (I never got that before, and it made a huge difference in comfort level and stability). And even upon returning the following day, the staff here remembered me and the whole "disconnect and drop-off" experience was, dare I say, pleasant. My experiences at this site were unlike any I've had at other LifeLabs, and this will be the only site I go to from here on in, for sure.

Incredibly disappointing and unprofessional experience. "…read moreI arrived exactly on time for my appointment at 8677 Granville, Vancouver. The waiting area was completely empty, yet the front desk staff member (who was acting as both receptionist and technician) told me to wait without explanation while she chatted with a coworker. After being ignored for 20 minutes past my appointment time, I was finally called up to check in. When I showed her my appointment confirmation on my phone, a minor text overlap glitch occurred on the display. Instead of handling this professionally, she literally screamed at me, hostilely stating she couldn't read Chinese and shouting, "I only read English." After I was finally checked in and waited another 20 for my turn, I noticed that she also rudely and repeatedly told different patients to "SIT." Her aggressive shouting and dismissive attitude were entirely uncalled for and deeply upsetting. To be ignored in an empty clinic, publicly yelled at, and then witness her treating multiple other patients with the same hostility is completely unacceptable for a healthcare environment.

Perhaps I got a phlebotomist having an off-day. All I know is, my experience at this lab recently was not the best and I am not planning on returning here. Had a "new patient" appointment with a doctor nearby who surprisingly ordered some bloodwork for me. I hadn't expected lab work to be ordered but, luckily, I was already fasting, and the doctor said there was a lab a block away, so I decided to just get it over with. I thought I'd be in and out quickly, as the labs ordered were few and commonplace (nothing complicated or exotic, lol!), and I have fabulous veins (have never had a problem with blood draws. I'm even a regular blood donor!). How wrong I was. The waiting room was full of people, waiting. There was a long line of people waiting to check in, with only one person at the counter doing the check-ins (after 10 minutes, another person joined her to help, thankfully). There's no privacy at all; as I waited in line for my turn, I heard the counter lady advise a woman checking in about the needed urine sample (ALL the details), and other tests ordered. This is SUCH a no-no in the States, where privacy issues are regarded so seriously. Other patients in a lab or doctor's office are never supposed to hear the details of other patents' orders. I gather people can make appointments online, which is great, but for those of us who walk-in, the waiting can be crazy-long. And after I waited 20-25 minutes or so after checking in, there was no-one available for me to ask for a status check (my kid was with me and I didn't want her to be too late to school). I was called to the back after a 40-45 minute wait. It really felt like a cattle call. I was sent to a tiny cubicle where I passed other patients in other cubicles in the process of getting bloods drawn. I heard all about all the tests being ordered for the patients in the cubicles in front and behind me (again, I consider this a breach of privacy. I heard all about the breath test and blood tests and urine tests ordered for the folks around me, as well as their names and dates of birth - since we all have to verify our identities, All this info should be done in private!). I won't mention my phlebotomist by name, but although she was sweet, she wasn't adept at her job. She dismissed my suggestion to draw from my left antecubital vein (the most prominent I have and the chosen site for all blood draws and blood donations), instead opting to go with a smaller vein on the right arm (my writing arm). At least she used a butterfly needle (small) but man, it still hurt like the Dickens! And she didn't get the vein! She went with a larger vein in the right antecubital and got it, but man, it too hurt like hell! Stung! Badly! I give blood and have blood work done regulary and it has never stung, ever! Sometimes there may be a momentary pinch, but this was different. And later that evening, my right arm was still tender where she poked me twice. I asked the phlebotomist how I might be able to check my results online. She said she'd leave the information for me "up front", to "pick up when I leave", as I was new to the LifeLabs system and had to get some info to create an account. Well, when I left, there was nobody in the front to ask, and since I had been there a good hour and my kid was late for school, I just left. Argh.

Then came back and Nurse Honey was in such a rush, she showed zero care and aggressively took my blood sample. It was the most painful blood sample I've ever given, felt like she stabbed through my entire vein. Then I got large lumps immediately that looks like cysts around the injection site which I've never had before and I had to ask if that was normal, she just said apply more pressure and went and got an ice pack and held it there for 10 min. I'm pregnant and was there for blood work related to my pregnancy so she knew I was pregnant and should have shown more care.
