Had my blood drawn here and they did a really good job no pain no difficulty finding my vein (which is not easy). Service was top notch. Seating area while you wait was organized and neat. Parking is limited.. Make sure you go to suite 120. Great experience read more

I had an excellent experience at the Primex laboratory on 1510 S. Central Ave. in Glendale this facility is clean. The staff is professional and friendly. Amy specially is wonderful. She's very skilled at drawing blood I have very hard veins and she is so gentle and patient she made the whole process quick and comfortable I highly recommend this Lab and especially Amy for anyone who is very hard to stick like myself. Also this place makes the whole process very fast, even though they are based on walk in only, but the whole process is in and out. Thank you Amy! read more

Over billed to insurance company multiple times then refused to assist with medical bill. Very rude management and aweful customer service. Stay away from them!!! read more

Slow process times. No patient portal access. Plus they want to charge you for requesting your labs which takes 14 days or longer to recieve. read more

I took my older sister to their lab in Glendale six months a go and i was told that their restroom has a problem and we need to use the public restroom at the end of the hall , same thing that she told my other sister 30days before that , while my sister went to restroom i asked her about the problem and i told her that my other sister was there a month before that and they had the same problem , she said the building management have not fixed the problem, and the she start the complains that what the patients do how they make a mess and she has to clean it , i was about to tell l her , hey lady i don't want to listen to your complaints any more , if you have to clean the restroom that means its part of your job , i My doctor yesterday gave me and my sister papers for blood test yesterday and said go to Suit 440 for the tests , we went there again and she said i need the urine test first ( ridiculous thing to ask ) and then she handed us the container for urine and the public restrooms' key , I told her why are you handing me the public restroom key ? and her answer was our restroom is not in a working condition , I told her we are not going to do the tests in your lab any more and we left , while we were walking out she told me in a rudely manner , you can go to LabCorp downstairs!!. shame on them that can not provide restroom for their patients , every time i went there i saw no other patients , low traffic lab and can not provide, really shame. I will never use their lab again , I went to LabCorp and they ere professional , i used the LabCorp and quest diagnostic many many times and never had a problem with them. read more

This lab is a complete scam; avoid it if you can. And if you can't avoid them, make sure you double check every bill against your EOB and patient responsibility and take notes of every single dollar you pay them. They sent me a bill 2 years later that was nearly $500 in excess of my patient responsibility. Sure enough, when I called my insurance company, they told me I am not to pay more than $120. I called the lab back and they very quickly offered to "reduce" my bill to, coincidentally, the exact amount of my patient responsibility. They're counting on people not checking into these things and just paying the overages. read more

I have never step foot into their establishment but they're billing me over $2,000 for lab work that I was promised was FREE at the 2025 LA Fitness expo for being a First responder who worked the pacific palisades and Eaton fires. The lady on the phone was exceptionally rude and unprofessional. She basically said not our problem so pay. Will definitely be getting my lawyer involved. read more

There is definitely something VERY WRONG with this "lab." I've NEVER been there and yet a bill came in the mail for almost $900. They say it's from this year but I haven't had labs done since last year and I only see my primary for that. I'm not the only person that has gotten weird bills in the mail from them with missing information. I wish I could post a photo of it. PLEASE STEER CLEAR. I will be reporting them as they are very clearly committing FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Super easy, fast visit. I was helped out by Daniel. He was super informative of everything and super gentle. He checked me in took my info , did my blood work and I was out the door! I recommend this place 1000%. Thank you Daniel read more

I called yesterday spoke to a gentleman re: getting my lab report to pick up He said i can go anytime as someone is always available today i came in 4:40 pm and a gentleman told me phlebotomy is gone and they are closed 4:30 to return tomorrow 8am to obtain my labs report Unsure who i spoke with read more

I wish I read the reviews on here before going to this lab. I paid my "very expensive" bill upfront and today, 3 months later, I received another bill from this lab stating I have to pay a different amount for my "services". I called their 1800 number and could not get in touch with anyone because the automated robot just hung up on me. Cool. I'll have to drive there and speak to them in person. This is absurd. If they are going to send an extra bill to your house, 3 months later, at least let the patient know and make them aware. Do not get scammed by this lab. Go somewhere else. read more

I think this company probably tried to pull a scam on me, and if so, they are no doubt doing it to others. They did not bill my insurance company, then waited a few months before sending me a bill that states "PER COVID 19 GUIDELINES THIS TEST PERFORMED IS NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY THEREFORE IT IS PATIENTS RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE REMIT BALANCE DUE FOR LAB SERVICES. I called and asked why they had not submitted the bill to my insurance and asked them who determines what is medically necessary? My doctor thought the tests were necessary. The customer service guy says, "Oh, yes, we will submit the bill to your insurance". Insurance paid IMMEDIATELY and guess what? Primex only got $13.37 for their services, but had tried to get me to pay almost 10X as much by: 1) Not submitting the bill to my insurance. 2) Waiting a few months to send the bill so maybe I'd assume it had been run through my insurance. 3) Printing a bunch of nonsense on the bill FALSELY claiming that these tests were not medically necessary! So...I'm guessing they might be doing this with any tests that could be COVID related to get people to think that the tests aren't covered and therefore collect much more $$$ than insurance would allow. I will ask my doctor to use a different lab for my tests from now on. read more

I needed a blood test that required fasting and so I picked a close Primex lab location to my house. When I looked up the location, the reviews were not that great but I decided to go anyway because it was such a convenient location. When you drive through, it's in an industrial area, not what you would typically expect, but you just pull in all the way to the back of the parking lot. As soon as I walked in around 8:30 in the morning, I was the only one in the office. I was greeted by Tanya who was very pleasant, made awesome small talk and greeted me in a very warm and courteous way. She got my insurance card and ID. Not even three minutes later she called me to one of the rooms to draw my blood. We continued to have very pleasant, friendly conversation. She was confident and skilled and performed my blood draw very well, we had no issues. And I was out the door. The entire process took less than 10 minutes. I was extremely pleased with the level of service I received from Tanya and I will definitely be coming back here if I need my blood drawn. read more

Run away from this lab. They charge to provide a patients OWN lab work. I should not be required to go through a provider I no longer see to get my labs. Get up to speed Primex. Labcorp and quest both have patient portals for easy access by patients. be sure, and not to have a TGFB-1 by this lab. they do not know how to process appropriately a TGFB one and it was wildly wrong. makes me question all other lab work from this organization. read more

I can not recommend this lab. I had a doctor that had a lab tech in his office with this company. He ordered a number of tests that should have been covered by my insurance. One of the tests was not covered. The lab did not tell me before doing the test. The tech had me sign the same form I sign every time I get blood drawn. I was unaware that in the small print they have a self protection clause against insurance companies not covering certain kinds of tests. I guess I should bring my lawyer to my doctor's appointment from now on to interpret the fine print on the back of the lab slip. A few months later I started getting huge bills from this company. I tried for over 6 months to resolve this with them and come to some kind of settlement. Every call the billing people were very rude and condescending. I finally gave up. Now they have sold my information to a bill collection agency. The agency is just as rude and highly aggressive. They mail me a bill 2 to 3 times a month and leave messages for me 2 to 3 times a week. I have written several letters and emails trying to explain to them that this should have either been covered by insurance or the costs fully disclosed prior to the test so I could have made a informed decision about my budget and ability to pay. Had I known the cost, my decision would have been to not have the test done. In 10 years of dealing with my insurance company they have never denied a claim. So I have to imagine it is the staff at Primex lab that can't seem to communicate with their patients about costs of tests, bill correctly or be polite. I will never use this company for lab work again. read more

Biggest scam possible. We've received multiple bills for different people addressed to our home and my fiancé. read more

Primex Clinical Laboratories - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This is the most fraudulent company ever!!!! They should be on American GREED!!! For the past 5 years or so I have been using them for blood work recommended by my natural path. Billing has always been 300 to 350 ish...no problem. Several.months ago I went in for the same blood work and they sent me a bill of 2155.60. Omg!!! I called and emailed several times with no help. Finally today I speak to a woman who is completely fibbing to me. She asked me how I normally pay...I said HSA credit card or cash. So she Bullied over me and said since in normally pay cash is why it's so high. I told her that is not what I said...I don't normally pay cash. Then she said we'll you decided to submitt to insurance....so that's why.... I said NO. Submitting to insurance is irrelevant to the fraudulent amount of money PRIMEX is charging. She said basically they can charge what they want and it's my fault for Submitting to insurance. I Submitting to insurance assuming my bill was the normal bill of 350ish... All lies...total Freud...total Greed ..the company is counting on people not wanting to put up a fight and collecting money that they steal. And yes it is stealing!!! Get ready for another law suit Primex...your already in it deep for Payoffs!!!!!! Read the news primex team when you talk to your customers! read more

Reported this company for fraudulent billing. Got a bill in the mail for almost $900 for bloodwork. Immediately contacted my insurance, which they verified the visit was completely covered, so I should not have received a bill at all. When I tried to contact the company, the number printed on the bill was no longer in service. The insurance company also tried to give them a call, and got the same message. Primex continuously sent me the same bill for over a year, and then when I got notification that they sent it to collections, I pulled all of the claims to show that my insurance covered the costs entirely. As I was pulling the claim documentation from my insurance's portal for evidence against the charges, I noticed the lab had tacked on a few extra "unverifiable" services to make it seem like those were also rendered the day I received bloodwork. This was extremely suspicious, because my insurance denied those claims due to insufficient information regarding what the services were. When I submitted my evidence to the collection agency to dispute the debt, they denied my evidence, and sent back some weird bill that had several lines of "services" completely blacked out so I could not see what the description of the charges were. This company has already been involved in lawsuits for fraudulent billing and other suspicious activity in the recent past, and I honestly do not understand why they are still able to operate. read more

I walked in the building and no one welcomed me instead a lady and a gentleman just continued having their conversation like a customer isn't standing at the window waiting for service. So I'm waiting and waiting and making eye contact to everyone and no one sayings anything. A man comes from the side door but it looks like he's taking out the trash or cleaning up so I figured he couldn't help me . So now I'm becoming impatient because it's now going on 10mins ! Finally when this guy got off the phone helping someone on the other line . He immediately came towards me apologize for the wait and immediately assisted me. I wish I would have gotten his name because he was the ONLY person in that damn office who was helpful. He sits in the front by the first computer. I wouldn't recommend this location at all . read more

Speaking about Tarzanalocation! I get blood work done all the time and have never had an issue like today... she poked both my arms and couldn't get the blood to flow properly.. she kept saying I'm moving which I wasn't and kept pushing the needle in aggressively. Both my arms are bruised and in pain for a simple blood test. NEVER going back. Only came because my yesterday required this lab to do the testing I needed done or else I use quest or lab Corp which are way way way more professional and know what they are doing read more

Staff is down right ghetto and needs training. Unable to answer claims questions and treated me as a delinquent when asking about copays. Incredibly unprofessional lab tech and all staff. read more

This place is a scam. I am speaking specifically about both Simi locations. We went to have my wife do an immigration blood test assigned by the doctor. So we are forced to use this company. The doctor even told us it is an $81 flat fee and don't let them charge more. Of course we get there and they say it will be $223, $123 for blood and a separate charge for urine which is $100. We told them it is supposed to be $81 only and she argued that is the cost and said it's a special cost for this doctor. Special cost really?? So we went to the other location. They did say it was $81 for the blood but urine will still be $100. (She actually called the lady at the other office and asked why she wrote $123 and then began speaking a different language to her) We argued for awhile and called the doctor to reconfirm $81 for everything and she finally realized that the urine test is part of the blood test.(it all falls under the immigration blood test) How is this information she does not know?? Workers at both office tried to charge for a different test that was already included. This is sad that company can take advantage of people who are going through an immigration process that is already expensive. Companies like this should not be in business. read more

Primex Lab has been my lab service for the past 5 years and they made me so spoiled that I do not even want to go back to other labs to do my blood work. Have been to both Van Nuys and Glendale drawing places and love the respect getting from them as well as their professionally handling my blood drawings, throughout these years. For future reference, if any doctor(s) ask me to go get blood drawn, I will definitely come back to this Clinical Lab. read more

Be careful with this lab they keep billing you even if you already paid and already let them know they will still try to bill you to see if you re send the payment. read more

Nice people. Went out of their way to accommodate me. And make sure insurance would cover the tests. Much appreciated. Good service and hours and availability. I assume the actual lab work is accurate. read more

The woman who took my blood did a wonderful job. It usually takes eight tries or so to get my blood. This makes blood draws very difficult for me. But she was very sensitive, professional and got it in one try! When there was a little snafu with the billing, they resolved it right away. The billing agent was efficient and kind. She made it clear that they wanted to help their clients during the coronavirus crisis. read more

Highly recommended Staff very friendly and helpful Will definitely go back and take my entire family Very accurate and prompt test results read more

Avoid Primex Lab at all costs. Their priority is NOT patient care. The disorganized 'client service ' department at the Stagg location is more interested in pinning blame on each other when mistakes happen then helping each other and helping their clients and patients. I cannot count how many times patients and doctor's offices have complained about billing issues and tests being cancelled for no good reason. The laboratory engages in questionable practices, more interested in turning a test result around than giving accurate and reliable test results. The managers and owners are uneducated and inept. How they are allowed to operate this so-called business is beyond me. read more

This comapny charges way too much for bloodwork compared to other labs. When asked wwhy they are so expesnive the response was "we are not other labs and can charge what we want" I just got a bill for 1553.00 for bloodwork done over a year ago - the actual bill should have been around 300.00. Complete scam. read more

I have been fighting with my insurance provider for over a couple years on a bill that had to be paid and they were denying to pay even though I had coverage with my insurance provider at the time. I called Primex and spoke to a very helpful representative and she truly helped me out. I appreciate it! Hey customer service was amazing! read more

Thank you Primex for working with me in paying my bill! I've read all these other yelps about billing issues. Primex was very helpful in helping me to make payments on my bill. Everybody wants something for nothing now days. read more

Rude, unprofessional, unqualified. Had to deal with their billing department; they sent me $1000+ bill because they could not figure out my policy number even though they had a copy of my insurance card. Avoid this place, these ppl should not be interacting with customers. This message is for the RUDE lady working in billing. You need to a different job, maybe something in the warehouse or data entry. Stay away from the phones. YOU ARE TERRIBLE!!! read more

Insurance should have covered the costs but they are billing me 100$. Seems petty. Months later and zero explanation of what it was for. Looks like they have a history of terrible and possibly fraudulent billing. Avoid and make sure your doctor does not work with them. My insurance has covered all lab work and diagnostic tests in full for years, my coverage is excellent. read more

THIS BUSINESS HAS AN "F" RATING FROM THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!!! We visited Primex twice in early June 2011 for lab tests for my newborn son. Since we do not have health insurance, we were quoted a cash price for each visit by the phlebotomist, which we paid in full, and have the receipts to prove it. We have now been harassed by Primex for over six months regarding those visits. Primex has made a long series of harassing phone calls and mailings trying to collect payment (which was already paid in full). Primex claimed that they performed additional lab tests that were ordered by our doctor, which we had not yet paid for. We then provided a copy of the doctors orders, which clearly showed that the additional tests were NOT ordered by our doctor. If additional tests were performed by Primex, it was their mistake, and not our financial responsibility. Next, Primex claimed that we had not paid for the two visits to their lab. So we faxed the receipts for each visit. These receipts clearly show that payment was made, with ZERO BALANCE DUE. Primex then had the gall to state that they did not show a record of payment for the first visit, and asked if they could charge our credit card again... OF COURSE NOT! At this point I informed their billing manager (Linda) that Primex was in possession of our receipts and doctor's orders, and further contact from them regarding this compounds their harassment... So we today received yet another bill from Primex in the mail. It includes charges for the aforementioned extra labs that WERE NOT ordered by our pediatrician. It also states that they will send the bill to collections and report it on our credit score. This is in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We have filed complaints against Primex with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, the Better Business Bureau, and I am now posting this review on Yelp. Hopefully it will inform future potential uninsured patients to AVOID THIS LAB. read more

I would never have a doctor use them for a lab or use then personally. The make up charges and bill things inappropriately. They are fraudulent. read more

Watch out this company will send you to collections when your bill is paid. I should have known something like this could happen after I got 3 different bills for one lab visit. When I checked in and gave the lady my insurance card, NOTHING was said regarding they DON'T take my insurance any more. Shame on me for not checking but how obnoxious. I get stuck with the hundreds of dollars in bills for ONE visit. Months and months and months later I get a letter from a collection agency saying you owe more money. WHAT I know I paid all of these. I do make mistakes, but it would have been nice for PRIMEX to send a letter saying pay this or we send you to collections. NOPE. Never again will I use this lab and I'm making it a point to tell all my friends and family and I filed a complaint with the BBB. Very bad billing and customer service. read more

The lady at the front desk in the Simi location is so rude. How is it possible that someone can be so grumpy and unfriendly and be placed in customer service position? I have no idea, but I know several unemployed people who would gladly take her position and offer Primex a friendly, hard working, grateful employee. Come on Primex, you can do so much better than this. read more

I never thought getting tested for Covid-19 would be this easy. The people at Primex were super professional and made the whole process very easy and comfortable. I have had blood drawn before but the tech that helped me can do this with his eyes closed. Could not be happier with the service I received. I highly recommend Primex Labs. read more

Very responsive and helpful during some very difficult times. I appreciate the support. Thank you.
