    It went well. Allow me to describe: Chatty bird I am. I went to Pacific Diagnostic Labs (Carpinteria, CA) for blood test today. One guy, about 50, was in waiting room. Masks were required, so we were wearing them. We talked about that and agreed they're a joke. I said he looked blue collar; a working man. He said yes. For some 15 minutes we passed the time agreeably till he went in for his blood test. Two young ladies run the whole shebang. They both worked computers, reception and phlebotomy. They were busy today. The one who drew my blood said she didn't want to spend years in school, so went to a 3-week phlebotomy trade school. I congratulated her on the practicality and said I thought I wasted a lot of time k-12 + 4 college. For generations we've been told this is essential, and in fact anything less, is nearly unacceptable. She and I hit it off down the line. Another guy about 65 came in not wearing a mask. One of the ladies gave him one. Neither lady seemed to mind I kept mine down and or pulled away from my face. That guy said he moved here in 1980 from Wisconsin. He went to SBCC in 1980 to learn industrial scuba work, which had such a program at the time. He already enjoyed commercial and recreational scuba. He said those in the industrial trade talked him out of it. Said he'd be in a military like atmosphere, probably in the North Sea or Gulf of Mexico. This guy was as tough, or tougher than me, when it came to being a rebel, covid and otherwise. Another 15 minutes flew by enjoying one another's company. The first guy walked out with bandages on both arms. Finally, my turn for blood draw with the aforementioned lady. She took quite a few vials. When the right arm stopped flowing, she bled the left. I walked out, a very happy, chatty bird, with both wings bandaged.

    Waiting room.

    Briz at the call center is AMAZING!!! Always cleaning up the mistakes that the lab often makes. She really goes above and beyond.

    Understaffed with exceptionally long wait times. Absolutely ridiculous for what should be a simple fast routine procedure.

    They have weekend hours snd have always been courteous. Best to avoid beginning, end of day and lunch hours where wait can be long.

    Awful. Horrible conditions, bad reporting (over one week to get results). No responsible physician should use these shysters

    I had to stop by here this morning to get my blood drawn for some prenatal tests and I couldn't have been more pleased.

Well this one is inside a pharmacy in a little strip mall in Montecito. The office was run entirely by a polite and, as it turned out, a wonderfully skilled phlebotomist. She took me without an appointment, helped me sign in, and then quickly did the blood draw and sent me on my way. She runs the whole operation herself, alone, and does an amazing job. The whole process took about 15 minutes and I left there feeling like I had gotten no nonsense good old fashioned good service. And I'm a cranky, somewhat cynical old nurse with a low tolerance for bad patient care. Wow, was I impressed and pleased. I will definitely come back here again if needed. Thank you most sincerely and please give this woman a raise. You need to hang on to her.

On 5/12, I arrived at 8am, waited 15 minutes, then asked the pharmacy personnel if anyone was there, and they confirmed no one had come in yet, and that no one ever showed up the day prior. I tried to contact the customer service 800 number, but there was no way to speak with anyone to ask what's going on. Also, the mobile app wasn't working right, even after updating it. I'll be moving my lab business elsewhere!

Just excellent professional service and a life saver! I would never be able to board the plane if they were not as efficient as they were...

Pueblo Radiology got us in on an emergency basis, but there was an insurance snafu. Fortunately, the supervisor, Andriana, very patiently and most professionally worked with us to resolve the issue extremely well! She provided daily updates as she worked the issue with insurance. Simply, this was the most surprising, professional, caring and timely customer service we've received in years! We have no real way to judge the excellence of the radiologists there (we suspect they're great, too), but we can tell you based on personal experience that Andriana/Pueblo Radiology provide next-level customer service to their patients!
