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.

Upon entering you lineup with your carecard to check-in and then sit until your name and a corresponding room is announced. Save time by booking your appointment online ahead of time although be sure to let them know if you've arrived early like I did today (appointment was 1:20pm but I was able to be there just before noon).

There's free parking in a lot just on the north side of the lab. They have about 6 "rooms" for collecting blood samples, etc, plus a couple of larger rooms for EKG's, etc. and, 2 washrooms for harvesting urine samples, etc. About the only negative is that it can get very busy here, with substantial wait times during peak periods.

When I got there 40 minutes later, the wait time was still 25 minutes. 20 minutes after that, the wait was still 21 minutes. 30 minutes after that the wait was still 20 minutes according to the app. The only good thing was that I went afterwards and vented to the tech and she let us wait inside becuase the person that need the shot was a senior. About 20 minutes after that we were done. It's lucky they lifelabs has a monopoly because If I could, I'd use someone else. Total wait time, close to 2 hours. Yuck.

Front desk staff made me wait 20 minutes even though I had booked an appointment. Several people who were booked in to appointments after me were attended to very quickly as were several walk in patients. No reasonable explanation given. Rudely told to wait as others were attended to first. Asked for blood to be taken from back of my hand as I had done in the recent past in the same office (it is easier and causes less pain that way). The angry staff member raised her voice at me and said it was impossible to do for scientific reasons. A form of medical gaslighting. I was almost in tears. Wanted to request another staff person but felt too intimidated. If they are feeling stressed they should take a break, not be abusive to members of the public. And lying to patients is just a sign of an insane, unstable clinic staff.

My chosen go-to 'LifeLabs' for some family doctor requisitioned blood tests this morning. This was…read morethe second time I had used this particular location for such services. The location of this 'Lab' is tucked away a touch from the general flow in the area. and from personal experiences (daughter's and mine), can often be found a little less-active than others in nearby areas (within New Westminster and Burnaby). I arrived at the location about 5 minutes before the Lab's opening time of 8 am, and stood (as #3) in a line outside. The line had grown to double that amount by the time we were first allowed any entrance to check in. Once inside, the initial checking in process was prompt. The waiting time after though, to be actually processed for the lab procedures took some time, but knowing I was third to be taken helped! When my name was called, I was back to the desk, specific data taken, and then was off to the lab area for the procedures -- which proceeded friendly, quickly, and very efficiently! With smooth, and totally painless needle work by the lab tech at my station!! After a short visit to the 'other' place to make a deposit, I was back to daughter waiting for me outside!

X-rays get taken and then they are to be sent 3 business days to my doctors. I got the x-rays taken on Saturday. Greig Associates at Oakridge didn't send them. What are the workers there doing?!? It is one week later and I still do not know my x-ray results. Doctors need to see x-ray results to know how to treat me. Do I have an infection?!? This is not funny it is fundamental procedure to make sure to send results to my doctors. My results should have been sent to my doctors by Wednesday. Thursday at the latest. BUT NO!!! When I called Greig Associates ONE WEEK 7 days LATER the following Saturday to asked what happened? The receptionist just lied and said it was sent when it wasn't. Ya, sure it was sent only after my doctor requested the results and it arrived to his office Friday. But this does not help me because it is now the weekend and my doctor office is closed so I will have to wait another few days to get the results and get medical care. All the while I keep coughing and not sleeping well. Also, during the x-ray the man taking the x-rays kept asking me to move my shoulders forward and was pushing on my shoulders that made me feel pain. My shoulders are already as forward as far as I can go. Unacceptable all the way around!!! AVOID THIS PLACE!!!

Good news: not much of a wait with a quick and easy walk-in process for x-rays and decently well…read moreorganized front desk. Bad news: this will depend on which x-ray tech you get, but the x-ray tech I was pretty surly before I even had a chance to interact with him. He was also pretty bad at giving directions and got annoyed because I couldn't read his mind, e.g., he'd say "move your leg" and seemed unhappy that I didn't know which leg he was referring to and where to move it to. If people knew everything necessary to take an x-ray, x-ray techs wouldn't be necessary! On another visit, the x-ray tech positioned me in the wrong place multiple times and I got a couple of extra doses of radiation because the tech didn't set me up appropriately. X-rays give you relatively small doses of radiation, but it's still not great to get extra radiation because someone else messed up.
