She called me an hour after I left and told me I needed to sign paper order because she had to manuallly enter the order after I left. I was not able to return to the clinic due to transporation. She told me she needed it signed otherwise would get written up. She offered to email the documents to me. I was disapppointed and upset she breached confidentiality by sending me the documents that had PHI through her personal email. I did not sign and send it back because of the violation of the confidentiality. I have been going to Quest Diagnostics for over 2 decades and have never had an issue. This was the first time I visited this location and was extremely disappointed.

First of all I'd like to express concern over all the negativity surrounding this and many other…read morelab service provider locations. You're not reviewing the individual phlebotomist, if your phlebotomist is a bad needle navigator it's not Quest Diagnostics fault, complain to the manager so that bad phlebotomist can get remedial education or terminated. Don't be afraid to ask for someone else if they don't get a good draw on the first stick. Today I had a very good experience at Quest and will recommend this location to others. Checkin/Waiting Area: The checkin process is akin to an airline checkin kiosk. It's convenient and feels natural. It doesn't give a clinical feel. The waiting area is clean and clear of clutter and comfortable. Don't expect a long wait if you have a pre registered appointment, come 15 minutes before your appointment and scan in. I was called before my actual appointment time due to the pre registered status. Procedure Areas: The procedure rooms are well appointed for phlebotomy and lab procedures on all age groups. They have every type of needle and variant to make for a comfortable blood retrieval experience. Urinalysis retrieval is similar, they have well appointed toilet rooms. One of the bathroom doors needs servicing but it's fine since it's in a private bath hall with two bathrooms in parallel separated by a large urinalysis retrieval lab room. I would recommend that each toilet room get its own waste basket, currently the waste baskets are outside of each room. Billing: No rating given due to Medicare coverage. Automatic pass.

I had a problem with the test that was out of my control and I was told that I should have had the test done at a hospital. I guess I was supposed to know in advance that this problem would arise. In addition, her appearance was completely unprofessional starting with one inch pointed black nails. The appearance was not sanitary in the least. Please know that I rarely complain, but I was close to tears because of this woman's mean and caustic behavior. If Quest cared about their patients, they would part ways with this employee.

When I spoke to the office manager Wendy about it, she backed up the nurse and didn't seem to mind what kind of poor attitude the staff has. Reading through other reviews made me realize I'm not the only parent that has been talked to this way and dismissed by the office manager. The doctors are good, but they aren't aware of how their nurses and office clerks are to their clients. Like many others, I'm pulling my kid out of Children and Teens Medical Center. To be immediately lectured over the phone with a condescending tone when I asked for a second option to getting my kid treatment was the final straw.
