I'll give the receptionist a 4.5/5, only because she didn't know how to spell a word and asked me to spell it out for her, I also had some time to think while waiting. My appointment was at 10:30 a.m., and I arrived at 9:58 a.m. It took me two minutes to check in very easy and straightforward. Although there was no one there, I had to wait until 10:30 a.m., and that's fine because I had nowhere to be. I did see the receptionist get up and help an elderly woman sign in. She had zero attitude and was very helpful. Now, the part where people say they are sitting around is true. If you arrive a little too early, they won't take you in until your appointment time. The place was clean, and everything went smoothly. Thank you!

(I was already irritated bringing my 74 yo partner here because the google directions suck and once you go up the parking trying to figure out how to find the entrance is challenging already so there is that, and then you have to ask someone where labcorp is because its not obvious and then you have to check in on a stupid machine, which is enraging because i fail to see how increasingly making us interface with screens is making the world better for anyone except billionaires.) uh but i digress. Aside from that frustrating and de-humanising intro to the place, I came along with him because labcorp will not take cash and my partner does not have a credit card, and they have always wanted payment up front before since he's doing self pay. THIS TIME THEY WOULD NOT TAKE MY CARD EVEN THOUGH I AM STANDING RIGHT THERE TRYING TO GIVE IT TO THEM . This is even more infuriating because they have a machine for it, and I went out of my way to go there for this reason. Instead the dude insisted on billing me for it. Not only do i feel it should be illegal not to take legal tender, they now made me have to go out of my way all over again to figure out how to log into his patient portal (he always gets confused) so i can pay his stupidly expensive lab bill after the fact, wasting yet more of my time. We will find an alternative to Labcorp next time. I'm tired of this

I started using Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) facilities for multiple projects in my…read moreGeophysics PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley in 2015. I am currently in the process of returning my security badge to the lab. On the back of my badge there was an option to mail the badge back with postage promised for the return of the badge. When I returned my security badge to a National Nuclear Security Administration lab they mailed me an envelope to return the badge in. I did not get one from LBNL, a United States of America Department of Energy national lab stewarded by the Office of Science. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess I am not going to get reimbursed for the $4.20 it took me to mail my security badge USPS, yes that is allowed for security badges here. I mailed my badge 27 August 2021 and as of writing this review on 10 September 2021 the badge is still in transit... snail mail is not the fastest way to communicate with the lab. Two research facilities I utilized in my research were the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and the Advanced Light Source (ALS). I also ate at the cafeteria a few times and used the shuttle to get up and down the hill to/from campus and the parking lot on Hearst by Euclid. Shuttles only ran on week days when I was using beamline 12.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source, so when I had beam time on the weekends I would park offsite and walk up and down the hill to the synchrotron. A great way to wake up on a Saturday or Sunday morning, hiking uphill to the lab. During the week I would typically ride the shuttle up and walk down the hill unless pressed for time, then I would take the shuttle both ways. Something to keep in mind if coming on a weekend is to make sure your badge works at the laboratory main security gate. If it doesn't work, then you need to have the phone number of the beamline scientist or some other lab authority/supervisor plus your badge to gain access. Myself and other researchers I knew who used facilities at the lab had various badge problems over the years to a surprising amount. It just became part of using the lab procedure, at some point something will go wrong with one's badge, just work through the problem then. No amount of double checking prevented unrelated random problems from occurring. In the end, badge problems meant access problems and having that as a back-burner stressor was a bit of a detractor from the overall experience.

I watch her speak from a regular tone to her coworkers to speaking so quietly and with so much attitude to elderly patients that clearly couldn't hear her. They ask her to repeat and she gets more angry. I truly don't understand how Labcorp can keep someone like this around. However the phlebotomist was incredible, she she has to work with such awful front desk.

Bad reviews always dominate blood lab reviews because those who have good experiences have them and…read moremove on, but when you have a particularly bad experience, especially if you are stressed and/or don't feel well, writing a bad review can be cathartic. I've had my share of lousy lab experiences, but this one was surprisingly positive. My husband and I could not get the scanner to recognize our appointments, and though I wish they had an actual human in the waiting room for customer service (the reason not 5 stars), when I got the attention of the folks behind the closed (and locked) door to the lab area, I got friendly service to help get things on track manually. We were both seen within a reasonable amount of time from when were scheduled, and my phlebotomist, Michael, had a really nice way about him. He was happy to get me into a chair that reclines because I have anxiety; he got that needle in with zero pain; and he kept me talking and distracted through collecting 8 tubes of blood, though I'm glad I was in the reclining chair because I did feel woozy toward the last few tubes. I usually end up with some bruising the next day, but there's none, and my arm isn't sore. 5 stars for Michael and many thanks! :)
