I promptly show up, sign in on the computer in the front of the waiting room (even though I signed in ahead of time online, the night before, but hey... Never hurts to double-check that you're "In"), and have a seat. The room was PACKED: People were standing out in the hallway because the phlebotomists were so behind. And to top it off, someone in the waiting room kept farting and laughing about it. Oh, what Joy.... People started to get anxious and huddle around the entry door to the hallway of exam rooms, trying to snag a nurse, and schmooze them into letting them cut the line. Okay, I get it. I was getting antsy too. You know what made it awful, though, the schmoozing was working and the phlebotomists were taking people out of order, based on who bitched the most! 11am rolls around and I can't snag a nurse to even ASK if I'm checked in or not, so I go back up to the monitor in the front of the room and RE-Check myself in (now, we're up to check-in #3, for 1 single appointment, at this stage). The monitor estimates my appointment will be at 11:40am - 1 hour and 40 minutes after my initial appointment time and two hours after I arrived. The room had no damn ventilation going, the human bodies are packing in here like a herd of cattle into a pen and the temperature is rising. Thank GOD I'm wearing a mask. I finally make it to an exam room and it's 11:50am. Mind you, I had to get nasty with one of the phlebotomist's, but still... I got in. End Result: Quest is ran like a fuckin' Zoo. My suggestion is to go to LabCorp.

I am utterly appalled by the lack of professionalism and accountability exhibited by Empire City…read moreLabs. I entrusted them with my blood samples, which were critical for my health, only to discover that they have lost them and are denying ever receiving them. This is not just an inconvenience; it's a complete breach of trust and responsibility. Despite providing them with a signed document confirming that my samples were received, I have been met with nothing but silence and evasiveness from their staff. No one will speak to me, no one will address my concerns, and it feels as if my urgent health matters are being dismissed. This is unacceptable for a facility that claims to prioritize patient care. Furthermore, I'm left wondering if their imminent closure is related to their inability to manage basic operations effectively. I can't help but think that if they can't handle something as critical as blood samples, what other serious issues are they hiding? I urge anyone considering Empire City Labs for their medical needs to think twice. Your health deserves better than this level of negligence and disregard for patient welfare.

Even the front desk staff kept getting up to leave to move her car several times. Which was quite unprofessional of her to do more than once. She was gone so the phlebotomist was working the front too. I don't know how they run this office, if they're all cross trained or what, but the front staff are not particularly warm or friendly with patients. I was not seen at my appointment time and it took an entire hour to get 2 tubes of blood. The older woman who took care of me was the friendliest of the trio but I could tell she was being stretched thin with the various tasks pulling her in different directions at the same time. Running from the front to the back and trying to take care of everything. The younger ladies seem to hate their job and the patients because their faces are unable to hide their obvious annoyance. I totally get that, but I mean fake it, no? That' what we all do when we work customer facing jobs. Some patients are annoying but it won't help if you're annoyed with us right from the get go. This location has terrible reviews but it was convenient for my schedule at the time. I have one last blood specimen I need for collection, which they didn't have blood culture bottles at the time of my visit but even if they restock them I won't be returning here. Long story short, they take too long, and the whole office is scattered and not run well or efficiently. Labcorp needs to staff and manage their locations better. This is not a comfortable or pleasant experience for patients. I don't recommend coming here for your lab work.

When I get there for my appointment, I waited 10 mins before someone came and told me to go to StatCare next door to get it done (I assumed they were affiliated with each other). The front desk employee at StatCare said they were not affiliated with each other and she had no one to administer the PCR test since it was a Jewish holiday. She also mentioned that staff from this Quest location did the same thing yesterday to their other patients. I go back to the Quest employee explaining that StatCare didn't have anyone to help me and she just gave me the same answer: "I don't have any kits to administer." Why wasn't I notified in advance at all?? I would've changed locations if I knew there weren't going to be any tests! I needed this test done TODAY to attend a wedding this weekend! The Quest Diagnostics employee gave me no options, nor did she even give me any other locations to go to, I had to google it myself. Now I'm scrambling to see if any other Quest locations will administer a PCR test to a walk-in patient (aka ME). I will not be coming back for PCR tests unless I'm forced to. Update: I was not able to find any Quest Diagnostics locations that would take walk-ins for PCR tests, but NYC Health + Hospitals (6315 14th Ave) had tests available for me as a walk-in so I was relieved. If Quest Diagnostics does the same thing to you, please go to NYC Health and Hospitals instead!
