Waiting room is always full, and no one seems to be calling people back for tests. Twice now I signed in, and waited 15-20 minutes without my name even being called to checkin at the front desk. Usually its a few minutes at most. A person was called back to get their blood drawn maybe once every 10-15 minutes...its bizzare. Both times I had to leave after waiting 45+ minutes with no luck- I just couldn't wait all day. I have no clue why this location seems to run like the DMV but I would avoid at all costs. Theres a location in Jollyville not much further thats way better. Go there.

When I arrived, there was 1 person in front of me but I waited less than 5 minutes. There is only one person work in this lab. The tech was really good in drawing blood. Quick, efficient and painless. I took one star off as there were signs everywhere saying furniture is disinfected after each guest. It doesn't look like it. The tech works alone including being a receptionist. It will be a lot slower if he has to do that too. There is also a sign at the front saying there is a disinfectant for check-in tablet, it's none to be found.

LabCorp claims to be "the World's Leading Health Care Diagnostics Company" and they offer routine…read moreblood work, pediatric collections, employee wellness body measurement, H pylori breath tests, employment drug screening, saliva alcohol testing, paternity tests, and hair collection. They have 5 locations in the Austin area and this one near 183 and Balcones Woods (not far from where I work, thus my decision to go here) is a fairly recent addition. Online appointments are theoretically available at https://www.labcorp.com/labs-and-appointments, but they also take walk-ins. Note that they are closed from 12:30-1:30, so dropping off a sample at lunch may be a challenge. There seems to be a trend in clinical lab chains these days to try to staff the locations with a barebones "team of one" who has to do everything from phlebotomy to security to administration to janitorial services. That must help the bottom line somewhere, but it makes the patient/customer experience a total frustration from start to finish. Case in point: this site for LabCorp (well, at least the comically accurate name previews the impersonal treatment you can expect). First off, the website and outgoing phone message give you absolutely no clue that you are actually heading to a building in the Seton Northwest Hospital complex. After following my Waze/Google/Yelp map trifecta to ensure I was going to 11111 Research Blvd, I wasted about 20 minutes driving around in circles looking for the listed address on a sign, a marque with the business name, anything to suggest that LabCorp was nearby. Nothing! I wasn't the only one, either, as I later saw 3 other cars apparently doing the same bewildered slow drive around the parking lot and surrounding locations that I did. When you call the listed phone number, you only get an automated message with minimal information and no ability to speak to a live person to ask a question (because the only person there is busy doing EVERYthing else in the office). Is it too much to ask to add one more sentence to the disembodied voice message which says, "Located in the Seton Northwest Health Plaza building in the same medical complex as Seton Northwest Hospital"? Once you finally get to the correct destination, posted signs indicate that you will not be treated as a human being but rather as a potential threat or criminal. Need a drink of water? The sign says to ask permission before accessing the fountain; who can give permission if the only staff person is in the back taking a sample from another patient? Happen to have your kid with you? Good luck with this errand because they can't come to the lab bay with you and you can't leave them unattended in the lobby. The self-signin machine was out of service, so you had to wait your turn to speak to the single human employee onsite. And so on. I photographed only a portion of the many ominous & paternalistic directives around the room. I was the 2nd customer in the room when I arrived shortly after the posted open hours, but it still took about 15 minutes until I was able to have my lab samples taken & sign all the necessary paperwork. The patient before me was berated for not properly registering his appointment and from the waiting area, I was able to hear his entire interaction with the lab tech, something I'm certain breaks HIPAA (medical privacy) best practices. I also was not pleased with the paper sign-in sheet which was viewable by everyone and requested the patient's full name and time of arrival; I did not comply and simply wrote my initials. My interactions with the lab tech / do-it-all person were as pleasant as could be under the circumstances. I believe that she was doing the best she could under conditions beyond her control. For her, I'm leaving 2 stars rather than the 1 that this experience warranted. Next time I need to have a lab sample analyzed, I'll choose another company, even if I have to drive out of my way to do so.

Then when you arrive at the office you notify the Baylor, Scott & white system that you have arrived. Easy Peezy... This my third visit since my doctor's location became a Baylor, Scott & White facility. I learned today from office staff that I may have been overbilled my last visit due the inaccurate spelling of my name as it appears my medical card. After reaching out to Blue Cross & Blue Shield, I learned that I was billed correctly based on my unique member ID...a good news story. The pre-exam includes pulse, temperature, blood pressure, height and weight checks. I was hoping to grow a little taller, but no such luck...smile. Passed all those tests with flying colors. I had the standard physical exam procedures including blood work. I have the world's smallest veins, so finger's crossed that I will have only one stick of the needle. Star phlebotomist...yes!!! Now I await my results...

Their system is programmed to drop you without any concern when you are waiting on hold for a STAT appt or desperate need. Completely insensitive and unhelpful. Their reports are often blurry and illegible even after requesting originals multiple times. They send faxes with blurry streaks and multiple printer lines and marks making them impossible to read. Good luck with your treatment.

The machine was very clean and looked new. They had a knee pillow for me to use without having to ask. Talk about quality of care! I will definitely be coming here for all my imaging needs.

My father was admitted over a holiday, which made things even more challenging, but everyone was at least willing to listen--something I can't always say has been my experience elsewhere. I want to highlight a couple of exceptional team members: a nurse named Sabreen and a PT/wound care nurse named Melissa. Both are five-star professionals who deserve raises for their outstanding care. Although this hospital is not located near us, I am grateful we made the drive here, per our doctor's recommendation. Parking is convenient, and there are plenty of nearby dining options. The hospital is undergoing renovations, so noise can be an issue at times, but I understand that such work has to be done eventually.

This was an important scan that I waited a month to get scheduled for and now I have to wait even longer and suffer the indignity of having to find an accessible CT scan. This felt borderline illegal by Ada law standards for a business. I filled out a lot of previsit paperwork, they paid for an Uber to come get me from my house, all of this had wheelchair user written all over it, yet I get to the room for the scan and I'm asked to stand up from my chair and get on a machine that is shoulder height to me. This was frankly embarrassing to me and the staff who could have told me ahead of time they did not have a way for me to use the machine. After the visit, I had to call up to the business to make sure my deductible was refunded due to no services being able to be performed. The billing g department told me to go back to the office in person to ensure the deductible was refunded. (5-8 business days to get the money back btw). So I called back to the robot line and acted as I needed to reschedule my appointment just to talk to a helpful csr, who was able to confirm my deposit got refunded. So total impact: wasted my time scheduling this place a month out, wasted my day getting embarrassed at their facility, and I get to float a big bill for 5-8 days before I see my money back in my account. Horrible. Just Horrible.

I had been reluctant to "take it in" somewhere because I was afraid that it would turn into a huge expense, maybe legitimate and maybe not. After some research I decided to contact Steve's Mobile Repair and I could not be happier with the outcome.

I mean bad. Jack managed to change the mounts in our driveway with just a floor jack to lift the engine. Jack knows what he is doing and does everything fast. Pretty amazing actually. He's professional and knowledgeable with an admirable work ethic. Needless to say, I was very happy with Steve's Mobile Repair and I'm certain I will use Steve's again. I highly recommend them.
