I "tried" to get a lab test today at the Mandeville location. I should back up to say that about an…read morehour before i "tried", I realized I would have time to go get my lab test done, so I checked the website to see if there was an appointment available today. There was, but not until much later this afternoon. I decided I would go as a walk-in; something I have done on many occasions without any issue and usually not a long wait. When I arrived at said location, I checked in with the iPad kiosk as per usual. I was asked if I had an appointment, which, as previously explained, I didn't. . I was again offered the same appointment which I had previously declined as it was almost an hour later. Then the iPad kiosk asked me if I would like to be put on the waiting list as a walk-in. I replied that "yes I would". To which the iPad responded that I "may have to wait 30 to 60 minutes" to get seen. At this point, I looked around the waiting room, which was completely empty. I checked the tv screen, which had the list of appointments waiting and saw that it was blank - no one was waiting. So I said "yes I do want to wait. I'm going to take my chances." A few minutes later, a woman peeked her head out the door to very brusquely inform me that I was required to make an appointment. When I attempted to question this, given that there was nothing about this new policy on the website nor did the unhelpful kiosk mention that walk-ins were no longer an option. She cut me off before I could barely begin speaking to reiterate that 1. An appointment is most definitely required and 2. Walk ins are most definitely no longer happening. I was shocked. Both by this new policy, but also by the absolute lack of care or consideration in the delivery method l by this person. I could understand if there was a waiting room filled with people and a line of names on the TV screen, indicating that they were harried and had way more work than they could possibly handle at the moment. But that was absolutely not the situation. They had one gentleman who came out of the back while this was going on. One patient. And who knows how many phlebotomist/lab techs behind that door?! So I left and called the corporate number to find out what in tarnation is happening. Is this actually a new policy? If so, why doesn't the website mention it? Why does the sign-in kiosk still give the option to be a walk-in? The person on the other end of the line made some apologetic noises to begin with. She insisted that this is a new policy, which had gone into effect at almost all locations. It is to alleviate the huge backlog of patients needing lab work. Patients who would sit in the waiting room for hours on end and never be seen. What patients? Where? When I explained to her that in all my years of going to Quest - at many different locations - I have never once spent more than maybe half an hour waiting to be seen and that was only because I was a walk-in. She vehemently denied that that was a possibility. She said that I was greatly fortunate that that was my experience because in the vast majority of locations, all patients, even those with appointments, have to wait very long times to be seen. And those without appointments, as she previously said, wait for hours on end, and some don't even get to be seen that day. Again, this has never been my experience. Far from it. Anytime I've gone to Quest, whether with an appointment or as a walk-in, there have maybe been two or three people at most in the waiting room. And as I've said the most I've ever waited is maybe a half an hour. She didn't want to hear that. It didn't work with her narrative. so she was really anxious to get me off the phone. So I relieved her and said as much. So here we are. Somebody's not telling the truth. But only one of us has evidence.

Lab tests without medical office intervention, welcome to the 21st century! I have used Directlabs…read morefor blood tests (cholesterol, glucose, etc.), as well as other lab tests for about 5 years now. Your tests are always at the directlabs.com portal, whether you change medical insurances, have no medical insurance for a period of time, or any other reason. Too many times, your work changes medical insurance carriers, or you yourself change medical insurance carriers, and all of your online lab tests from the past are no longer available. Too many times, a doctor has you come in just to write test orders, then reschedules you for another visit just to "read" your results, what a joke! There's nothing to understanding test results, there are high and low ranges with each result, and you can get further information on the internet, like webmd.com Directlabs currently uses Quest Diagnostics, a major lab testing facility, just like anyone else. They have a staff doctor which reviews results, and if necessary, will attach a warning-type message to your portal. I would rather pay out of pocket online for routine lab tests, and send the results to my doctor, me being in control of the tests ordered, as well as the results. If my doctor loses the results, I can go to the directlabs portal, print another one, and resend it. Directlabs unlocks the black box of lab testing, and removes the veil of mystery that some doctors wrap lab tests in to the patient. A+++ Directlabs

She is efficient, pleasant and professional in all ways. We went there two days in a row (with and without appointment) and waited an hour and a half each time along with at least eight other people. There is no bathroom in the waiting room; the bathroom is in the inner office and it is locked to the public. There is only one patient room - my granddaughter had a medical emergency after having 10 vials of blood drawn and had to lie down on the bed for about 1/2 an hour. Meanwhile the Phlebotomist was helpful and efficient and caring even though she had a roomful of people who were impatient and some were downright rude and obnoxious. This business is poorly managed and severely unfair to their employees and any patient who has to go there for insurance purposes.

I heard that DIS had an open MRI, so I was willing to give them a chance. When I got there, I arrived a little early and they went ahead and got started.

The technician constantly asked if I was okay and would let know what was about to happen and what to expect. He constantly reassured me the whole time. My husband was allowed in the room with me as well. My mom had previously gone here for a different MRI and said she would recommend it to everyone. They quickly gave me a disc with my images on it and sent reports to my doctor for follow up.
