    Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience at the Kaleida Health blood draw location on…read moreSheridan Drive in Amherst. We brought our daughter, who is under 9, here for her very first blood draw specifically because this location was recommended to us as pediatric-friendly. I called beforehand and was told we could come as a walk-in. We arrived around 3:09 PM, well before the posted sign-in/closing time, only to find that the two employees working had already removed the sign-in board and apparently decided they were no longer taking patients. Instead of simply explaining that, they repeatedly told us that they had "removed the board." I finally had to ask directly whether that meant they were refusing to see any additional patients before they would give us a clear answer. When I explained that I had just called and was specifically told to come in, their demeanor became even more dismissive and irritated. Several patients were waiting and knocking because no one seemed to know what was happening. The sliding window was not being opened. When one employee finally opened the actual door, I asked if anyone was going to help the people waiting. She told me it was "up to" the other employee, who was sitting at the computer. When I asked whether they were even going to write my daughter's name down, her response was, "I don't know." What really shocked me was watching a physician from the pediatric ENT office that shares the location walk over with another patient who needed blood work. The lab staff told the physician to send the patient somewhere else because they already had three people waiting. There were still approximately 45 minutes remaining before closing. At one point, after their employee had opened the door and left me standing there waiting for an answer, she told me I should not be standing in the doorway because of HIPAA concerns. If their method of communicating with patients created a privacy concern, that should have been handled appropriately by the staff rather than blamed on a parent who was standing there because they opened the door instead of using the sliding window. We ultimately left without having our daughter's blood drawn because I was not comfortable allowing either employee to perform her first blood draw after witnessing how irritated and dismissive they appeared toward the patients who were trying to receive care. The saddest part was the effect this had on our daughter. She became visibly nervous about having her blood drawn after watching these interactions. We had to explain afterward that what she witnessed was poor customer service and that this is NOT how all laboratories or healthcare professionals treat patients. Healthcare workers have busy days, and I completely understand that. But being busy does not excuse treating patients as though they are an inconvenience, particularly at a location recommended for pediatric blood draws. We contacted our daughter's pediatric office afterward to explain why her ordered blood work was not completed and to make them aware of our experience. I sincerely hope Kaleida Health reviews what occurred at this location on October 1 around 3:00 PM. A pediatric-friendly laboratory should make frightened children feel safer about medical care, not send them home more afraid of it.

    I had a wonderful experience with KSL Diagnostics! After weeks of calling around to find a covid…read moretest with quick test results to submit for travel with no luck, I stumbled upon this place. I spoke to incredibly helpful people on the phone who set up appointments for my entire family in the 72 hour timeframe before travel that I needed and they guaranteed I would have my results in time. One employee (Deli, who was amazing) answered tons of my questions by phone and email before the appointment with quick responses. It was a drive-thru test (throat swab PCR), they called when the results were ready to pick up (for me it was the next evening), and it was the same drive-thru to pick up the results. If I could give KSL Diagnostics more than 5 stars, I would. Their customer service was outstanding and they delivered guaranteed results which seemed almost impossible to do in WNY.

    I needed results because I was traveling and didn't want to put a high-risk family member in harm's…read moreway. KSL promises results in 48-72 hours. What they don't tell you is that they will take all the time they feel entitled to take in mailing you your results. Because they won't email them to you. You can schedule the appointment online, and they'll email you to confirm that, but for some reason they can't actually hit the reply button again to send you your results in a timely fashion. I was tested on November 18th at 12:15. The sheet I was (eventually) mailed says my results were received on November 19th. The envelope they mailed to me with those results is postmarked the FOLLOWING MONDAY, November 23rd. It arrived at my home the following day. By this point, the results were meaningless, as I had been quarantining in the basement of my own home with a mask on for nearly a week. The kicker? Because my test was for travel purposes, and not prescribed by a doctor, it cost me ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. There is a statement on the application you fill out that states "if you need a prescription, our doctor will write you one". I was told once I was on site that this was "a mistake". Cash or credit card, sir? This place is making money hand over fist, and they don't care about you. Go get a free test downtown. At least they won't brazenly lie to you while lining their pockets under the guise of public service.
