The wait was the ONLY good thing about this location. There is an older black lady at the front desk who is just mean. No people skills what so ever!

The phlebotomist, however; was a gem! She poked me once and I didn't even feel the pain I typically feel when giving blood! I hope she finds a new job, because the Labcorp location is horrible and no place for someone like her who truly loves what she does!

We got to the location about 10 minutes before our scheduled time. They did not call us back until about 30 minutes after our appointment time. No they were not terribly busy when we got there as all of the staff were gossiping about their reviews (ironically) in the office area. We were finally called to a room where we waited for an additional 15 minutes and three different people came into our room checked our paperwork and then left. It seemed like hot potato because no one wanted to work with our kiddo. Finally a woman named Shaniquia (unsure of the spelling) came in and she was nice enough but the actual stick went horribly wrong. She didn't really prep my kid before sticking him and it scared him to death and he wiggled and blood went absolutely everywhere. My husband and I ended up needing to help secure our son to finish the blood draw but this was so traumatic and I am terrified to know how this will affect our kid for future doctor visits.

I am writing to express concerns about the patient experience at this location, which has become…read morechallenging since the departure of Ashley and Nadine. Specifically, I have observed that while generally a skilled phlebotomist, Andrea's patient check-in demeanor has been negative. On one occasion, patients waited for 25 minutes, leading one to leave.My attempt to address this with Regional Director Nicole Gray was not productive. Andrea returned from the back with her supervisor on speakerphone and, seemingly unfazed by the situation, exhibited unprofessional and rude behavior, including a dismissive verbalization of "I Don't Care!!!". This type of response is unacceptable, especially in a healthcare setting.I am also troubled by the handling of previous issues. I was informed that Nadine, who consistently demonstrated politeness, professionalism, and courtesy, was to receive an award. However, she was removed from this location and, to my knowledge, did not receive the promised recognition.Furthermore, my attempts to contact corporate have gone unanswered for several weeks. A separate, serious concern involves unsanitary practices at the LabCorp Catonsville location, where phlebotomists' extremely long hair extensions are allowed to come into contact with patients' arms.To resolve these issues, I propose the following:Immediate attention to Andrea's patient interaction skills, including training and clear expectations for professional conduct.Clarification regarding Nadine's departure and the status of her promised award.A prompt response from corporate regarding my previous communication.A review of hygiene protocols at the LabCorp Catonsville location, with immediate correction of the hair-related issue. As the patient, an experience at LabCorp should not result in distress. I am committed to working collaboratively to find another location to perform routine labs iand ensure a safe and positive experience. There is a pattern of unprofessionalism here. At this point, leaving a review and finding another LabCorp is the only recourse. Wishing everyone the best.

I have been a Johns Hopkins Community Physicians patient for more than 30 years. After moving, I…read morebegan using the Johns Hopkins Medical Laboratory at Howard County. I have visited this lab three times. The first two experiences were disappointing, but I decided to give it one more chance. Unfortunately, the third visit confirmed that I will not be returning. I arrived before the lab opened and was behind eight or nine people already waiting in line. When the doors opened, a staff member collected everyone's driver's licenses, and we were instructed to take a seat. Shortly afterward, additional patients arrived and checked in using the self-service kiosk. I waited 50 minutes while watching four patients who arrived after me--and checked in at the kiosk--get called before I was. When I could no longer wait, I went to the front desk to retrieve my driver's license and asked how patients were prioritized. I was told that patients are seen based on the time they check in. Apparently, those of us who handed our licenses to the staff member at the door were not actually checked in at that time, placing us at a disadvantage compared with patients who arrived later and used the kiosk themselves. The check-in process is confusing and unfair, the waiting room is small and overcrowded, and the order in which patients are seen appears inequitable. In addition, one of the phlebotomists has been consistently so unpleasant that I find myself hoping I won't be assigned to her. After more than 30 years as a Johns Hopkins patient, I expected a much better experience. Fortunately, I have other options for laboratory services, and I will be using them in the future.

After checking in I only had to wait two minutes then I was taken into the back to have my blood drawn, the phlebotomist was professional and friendly. She completed the process painlessly.

I think their biggest problem is that they seem to only process paperwork while a patient is there. They were confused by the doctor's order and did not tell me in advance. I had to wait there until it got cleared up. They also seemed short staffed and disorganized because they misplaced two faxes. Only one lady seemed to be doing any real work in the office. She would work the front desk and do the blood draw. She seemed competent, but was overwhelmed. A second employee was present, but she was rude and did not seem able to help me on her own.

Only to find after I'd been sitting there 15 minutes already that the blood procurement team was delayed AT LEAST 30 minutes. I found this particularly frustrating as I had left work to donate, but I stuck it out since I was already there. Luckily when I was called back, the Red Cross person helping me fill out online forms was nice and processed me through quickly. She also set me up comfortably to have my blood withdrawn. She was able to find my vein and poke me with little pain nor fanfare. This whole process took maybe 20-30 minutes and wasn't bad - I just surfed on my phone. So overall, all the Red Cross folk I interacted with were great, but the time management was lacking. I will, of course, continue to give blood, however, next time I schedule an appointment, it will be first thing in the morning, not at 1:45pm on a workday.

I found out I was pregnant very early and knew who the likely father was, but since we weren't in a…read morerelationship, he asked for confirmation that it wasn't the other person I'd recently been with. I approached my primary doctor about a prenatal paternity test, but she had no idea it was even possible. My OB-GYN was also unaware, claiming they'd never heard of paternity testing before birth. Despite this, I knew it was possible and did my own research, though information and reviews online were limited. I discovered that many TV shows use the company DDC for paternity testing, but I also found another company, Ravgen. Two labs near me offered prenatal paternity tests, both using Ravgen. I contacted one lab, went to a walk-in appointment, and filled out paperwork about my pregnancy. They only needed the alleged father's full name, birthdate, and address so Ravgen could coordinate testing near him since he lived out of state. I paid $1,700 upfront, and the lab drew five tubes of my blood to send to Ravgen. The next day, Ravgen called to inform me that there wasn't a lab near the alleged father--only one five hours away. For court purposes, he'd need to visit that lab, but for peace of mind, they could mail him an at-home cheek swab kit. I was frustrated since I'd already paid and preferred lab testing to avoid risks like errors or dishonesty. Ravgen assured me I could get a full refund if the kit hadn't been sent, but I chose to proceed with the at-home option. They contacted the alleged father, shipped him the kit, and he returned it via FedEx the same day. Two days after Ravgen received his sample, they confirmed the results would be ready within seven business days. On the sixth day, they called to inform me the results didn't match. They mailed me the official document but couldn't email it due to legal restrictions. They also noted the at-home test wouldn't hold up in court. In hindsight, I should've contacted Ravgen directly first to confirm whether lab testing was feasible for both parties. While the process was straightforward overall, knowing this upfront would've saved me some frustration.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE…read more The amount of emotional trauma this company caused us unreal. For my partners family doubts , we took a prenatal paternity test in October 2022 to help confirm to them he was indeed the father. He got results back the weekend of Thanksgiving in November 2022. Mind you, they called THE DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving knowing their office was going to be closed for a whole weekend, leaving bo room to even follow up in a timely manner about results being incorrect. They ONLY called the Biological father and NEVER notified me of anything even being given that MY BLOOD was drawn for this test. They reported that he was NOT the father and had bo chance of being the father. Finally after a weekend filled with complete torment and stress, I called the company, the guy said they don't mess up and that there was no possibility the lab did. Even while I was in distress he had absolutely no solution in helping, nor did he show sympathy. They also NEVER EVER MAILED any results or proof of the negative result test at all, even after being contacted MONTHS to send them to the fathers address and mine. I had to wait an ENTIRE 2 MONTHS to get an actual DNA swab test as soon as my son was born just for that TEST to CONFIRM the so called "not biological" father WAS INDEED the father. So I say all this to emphasize $1,500 DOWN THE DRAIN. For 2 months my partner was devastated and we essentially split up over this stupid false test until are son was born in January 2023. Below is the test we took from Paternity Lab Testing, they are amazing and work diligently ALL WHILE BEING ACCURATE.
