I went for a blood test yesterday at around 3:40 PM and it was a great experience. I overheard the…read morestaff telling another patient that they generally don't have more drop-in times after 3:45 PM so I'm glad I got there when I did. My phlebotomist was very kind and caring. I let her know that I have a tendency to faint and needed to lie back. She put me in their version of a lounge chair. She even aimed a little fan at me and gave me a cold pack to put on my chest. Her blood draw was smooth and hardly hurt at all. She was excellent. I wish I remembered her name but it started with a T and she wore red scrubs. It was one of my best blood draw experiences! Thank you so much, T, and thanks to all the staff at the Bastyr Labcorp.

I have to give this place a shout out! I was a little nervous after seeing the unhappy reviews at…read morepretty much every Labcorp location around, but when a girl needs a blood draw, she needs a blood draw. I figured they were probably better than me trying to do it myself. I made an appointment online (same day). Tip: When I tried to book originally, it was three weeks out, but if you look in the morning, there'll be open appointments because people cancel. When I arrived there were a handful of people there, a few walk-ins (I heard them talking). Labcorp staff were moving folks through - fast, friendly, professional. For the actual act, they were supportive and positive (I'm hard to get blood from) and only had to poke me twice. A++ Here's what's making me get on for this review, though. The person checking folks in (Cy? Si?) asked me, "Did you bring a lab slip?" which I had walked out and forgotten on the printer. Instead of me bein' all sad and needing to go home and make another appointment (after fasting until 1:30pm) she said, "Is it in your email? You can just email it to me and I'll print it for you." Whaaaaaaat?! Mind blown! Super service! Thank you!

Perfect experience, from start to finish. Came in for a blood draw, the lady was super attentive,…read moreprofessional and friendly. She finished my appointment before it was scheduled to even begin. I hardly felt anything at all throughout the process, didn't even take one full minute I think.

I came so close to passing…read moreout, after about 8 vials of blood being drawn I was starting to lose consciousness and squirm in my seat. I had told the phlebotomist that I do sometimes pass out. He didn't tell me when he was done (and I had my head to the side with my eyes closed trying not to faint) - he just turned his back to me and started racking up the vials. Once I had enough mental capacity, I asked him if he could help me lean back my chair and get me some water. He exited the room to grab water, told the two people waiting it was going to be a while because I almost passed out, then gave me the water. I laid there for a bit but didn't want to take up the other people's time, so, despite my hands being numb and my lips blue I left. I've never had someone drawing my blood turn their back to me and blatantly ignore me while I'm on the verge of passing out. Is that even safe? It felt like the bare minimum of care and compassion was missing here. It also felt like he was taking his sweet time despite there being multiple people waiting for extended periods of time (at least an hour). The Safeway in Ballard is sketchy on its own. I don't recommend this location.

And then when he removed the swabs after half of a second, then my son grabbed all the swabs with his hand and the guy had to rip them out of my son's hand which then were contaminated.

Today Debbie M. would talk over me and go on long monologues... then complain that I wasn't letting her talk. I said "okay, stop, you've answered my question." After which she started a new lecture on how I wasn't letting her talk. My issue was I didn't use the services as I cancelled my appointment and asked for a refund. (NO WAY! I was told I'd signed up for a membership.) I told her I believed I had signed up for services and not a membership but was willing to listen to the recorded call when I'd originally moved forward w payment. This was not acceptable as their policy was not to give a refund after charging one month prior. Instead of a refund, I would pay $197 to not have to deal with Life Wise customer support again. The nurses are actually very good. However, they sold me an add-on for $99 that basically resulted in recommendations instead of data. I made the mistake of telling Debbie M that fact which sent her into a diatribe of telling me what I'd received and how I should have seen the benefits. IF you use them, 1. sign up on line, 2. Never call customer service or talk w the person at the desk when you arrive. 3. Engage and talking w the nursing staff is fine.

THE ULTRA SOUND OF SILENT KILLERS I have been going to…read moreLifeline Screening (LLS) for years after I receive their annual mailer telling me that they're coming to town. They hold their annual screening sessions in various different public venues every year. This year, I went to Unity Church in Bellevue to do only the 4 tests promoted in this year's mailer for $149. They also have other tests that they will try to upsell you to, but they usually don't overdo this. The mailers give you a promo code and a phone number to call (or www.lifelinescreening.com) to set up your appointment. They also tell you when you last had certain tests and whether or not you need to have them done again this year. Their tests also include finger pricks to take blood samples, but mostly ultrasounds to test for "silent killers", blood clots, etc. Their mission is to do the kind of tests that Medicare or your health insurance will only cover once you show symptoms. By that time, it could be too late, if the first symptom is a stroke or a heart attack! GREEN = "GO", RED = "STOP", BUT YELLOW DOES NOT MEAN "GO VERY FAST." To have those same tests done at your doctor's office would cost a bit more. This is why LLS focuses only on preventative tests that could uncover potential silent killers. Only bummer is that they do not take insurance. They send you the ultrasound test results in 3 weeks, prepared in a professional pleasingly graphic format that can be easily understood by you and your doctor. Their graphic results show green if you have "no blockage"(OK), yellow if you are in the "mild blockage" (MEH) zone, and red if you are in the "severe blockage" (OMG!) zone. Oh, they will be sure to bring it to your immediate attention if you ever hit the red zone on any of their tests. INSTANT FINGERSTICK RESULTS GOT STUCK ON HOLD? Fingerstick test results have always been given to me right away in the past. But for some reason I did not get them this year. Whether they forgot, or changed their policy re: fingerstick test results, I don't know yet. Perhaps a future update will reveal this. Like the ultrasound test results, Fingerstick test results (mailed 3 weeks later) are also printed out in the green "good to go", yellow "prepare to stop" and red "STOP!" format. But instant results are simply printed out on a small piece of paper showing your results as compared on a line graph to the health standard that one should meet, but without the "traffic light effects."
