I have visited quest diagnostics several times for tests and samples. However, every single time I go there I never find an organized system or coordination between the people that work there. The people that work the front desk often don't care about patients time at all. I took my father last week for his blood test and to get containers for some samples. The first thing as soon as you enter you need to sign in. When signing my father in, we got confused since there was an option to choose pick-up or blood test. So we signed in as both. We got called in after 30 minutes of waiting. After we got called in, the lady took the paper from us given by our physician and said "oh it's just a pick-up and next time don't wait and just sign in as a pick up." I told her that the doctor also requested blood test and she said no it's just a pick up for the container. Well, we thought since she works there she knows the best and we took an envelope and left. This Friday after my dad's appointment on Friday, the doctor told us that he didn't get blood test or the RIGHT CONTAINER for the samples. We told the doctor what happened at the quest diagnostic and she was really disappointed with them. She asked my dad to go back again and she highlighted and bolded the instructions this time. After the doctor's appointment I drove my dad to quest diagnostic again and this I told them what we need. This time it was also a different front lady and she was well informed. She Gave is the RIGHT container this time and told us to come back for blood test again on Saturday while my dad is fasting and to bring back the containers. So, on Saturday, my dad brings the containers and signs in for a drop off and blood test. The wait for just drop off was thirty minutes. He then waited for 2.5 hours just to get his blood sample taken! While we were waiting there was a dude that got so angry with the disorganization of this organization that he told them he needs to talk to their supervisor and they said they don't have a supervisor available. I have visited quest diagnostic in other town and they seemed to have a supervised and organized system going on. However, this location is a pure mess. They absolutely don't care about patients time and they are extremely negligent with an extremely un-organized (with any coordination) system. read more

HIGHrecommend going to another quest if you can. Staff is very rude and gets upset at you for them running behind schedule i had a scheduled appointment and still wasn't seen until an hour after my time slot. No one works the front desk and if you try to knock on the door to ask a question they get so upset. They need to hire more staff or close down if this location is too much for Them getting upset with customer because your running behind or short on staff is not our fault. read more

Had an appointment and almost 2 hours later I was still waiting. Decided to leave. I had a toddler and they texted saying they were ready but were not. I saw other people go ahead of us with later appointments. Turns out they had "computer issues" which is fine. What is not fine is the last of communication and respect for people's time. Also, it's impossible to get someone on the phone. read more

USE A DIFFERENT LAB SERVICE IF YOU CAN If you have at least 2 hours to wait for physician requested blood work that requires fasting then come here. Even with an appointment you will wait an extended period of time. Quest has closed two other locations so this is the best they have in Elk Grove. I will avoid this company from now on if possible. read more

This is not the first time I had terrible experience about my visit here. But the phlebotomists or whatever you call them- are the issue most of the time. Not that they have poor skills, but because they sometimes sit in the front desk, and as soon as you approach them, they're already rude and feel like they don't have time for you. Any question you ask- it's like they can't be asked a question! They need to be taught how to do receptions job! Or how to provide good rapport to patients. Only 1 lady was thorough and seems calm while giving instructions. The rest of them--- couldn't seem to handle such stress when patients are piling up, end up being rude to clients/patients. Too bad this is the closest in my area. read more

Many issues with website scheduling. It gives you dates and times that are open but when selecting it won't let you proceed. No customer service to talk to someone if you have questions. Voicemail is full. Covid is not an excuse to be dismissive to their patients. Without patients this place would not be in business. read more

Rude old lady with prickly orange hair and ugly glasses is rude as hell with instructions on checking in. And didn't even do it right. I ended up waiting an hour pass my appointment. They were very rude and unapologetic about their discrepancies. read more

I had to take my mom's sample to them. My mom is 90. I checked in on the KIOSK and was given a number. I noticed that everyone else was being called by name. After 40 minutes I asked if I could just drop off the sample. They informed me I needed to make an appointment - which the KIOSK did not say I needed to make an appointment. Why would I have to make an appointment to drop off a sample? Lots of frustrated people in the lobby. Not a great place and very poor customer service. read more

Because we were more than 10 minutes late for my child's appointment, it was immediately canceled. I was forced to make a new appointment for which they made us wait an extra 40 minutes!!! I guess it's ok for them to run late but don't expect any grace if you're late. read more

Have received lab services from this location a handful of times and always received swift, professional service. However yesterday I observed a scene that was just horrible, albeit unintended I am sure. Person went to the window when the parents name was called. The Quest employee loudly (no malice, it's how they call communicate) shared that the parent (actual patient) had an outstanding balance and asked if the family wanted to satisfied the balance today. Embarrassed, the patient's adult child began saying in return, "You don't need to yell out our business, this is a HIPPA violation, you shouldn't be saying our business out loud!" The employee replied (in the same loud tone) that she wasn't sharing private information and just wanted to know if they wanted to pay the balance today. Patients daughter continued to be verbally upset about feeling that a HIPPA violation occurred. While I don't agree, because there was no patient name, diagnosis, or referring physician mentioned, the nature of the communication was certainly confidential. It would have been simple to call the person closer to the window or lean in and share there was an outstanding balance. I blame Quest leadership, not the employee. Quest, do better. There is a way to communicate sensitive information that doesn't involve the entire (full) waiting room, upset a family and unnerve the employee of clearly doing what she felt was an appropriate/best practice way to serve a client. The person at the window helped me next and was clearly rattled by the exchange that she was overly kind to me. Right or wrong, it was disheartening that the employee did not apologize to the person whose account (balance) information was just shared across the entire waiting room. Even if the employee did as instructed by Quest, the customer experience was affected and that alone warranted acknowledgement. I hope Quest's HR sees this review, please train your staff on how to do engage customers on potentially sensitive topics while allowing them to maintain privacy and dignity. read more

Our family likes coming to this quest for bloodwork. Wait times are usually really short. The people who take your blood are all super nice and make you feel comfortable. The lady who works the front desk... ehhhh not so much. She speaks really loud if you don't speak English.. and doesn't offer any help just points to the screens to check in. But other they that this place is the best for bloodwork. 5 stars for the people who take your blood. 0 for the lady who works the front. read more

This is the WORST lab draw place I have ever experienced! The last two times I came, they lost my paperwork between check-in and lab draw, so even with an appointment, I waited almost 30 min. Then this trip, I checked in, and my check in was lost, so I waited amost 40 minutes. I am done with this location, I will have to drive to another one to try to avoid this, although I think it is their overall issue. If I could give it a negative number I would! read more

Latina Lady was being rude when i came in without a mask. I told her i did not have one and she didnt have one for me either so then she said she could not take me in. Also i was barely late and she told me i had to do a walk in for being late when i had an apt and I was only 7 minutes late. Rude customer service. read more

Super super super slow. No matter what time of the day you come their is people waiting in the waiting room for a long time. You have an appointment or walk in ( which apparently they don't do anymore) it's a forever thing. I sit here for almost 1 hour every time because it the closest to my doctors office. Very inconvenient. read more

I had an appointment and it's been 55 minutes and still not my turn. It looks super busy inside. You can't ask the staff any question but wait until you get a call/text from them when your turn is ready. Don't come here if you can a different location. read more

My primary doctor referred me to go get blood test from this place. Very quick, much quicker than I expected, not like how these comments described. My appointment was at 9:15. Done at 9:30, or not even. The nurse is very polite, kind and experienced. They are busy, indeed. But the service was not bad at all! read more

Terrible service. My daughter made an appt for 3:10. Had come before time, saw other people being taken care AFTER her scheduled appointment time. When she had asked about she was met with a rude reply "if your name has been taken off check in, that means that someone will be taking you in shortly" and then she proceeded to wait another 15 mins while people who scheduled after to got in. read more

Just arrived here at 4:35pm and a young lady with glasses just told me they can't take me because I came after 4:30pm she was very rude about it and didn't even greet me or even show concern of care. If staff is rushing to go home that fast they shouldn't be in this line of work read more

Took my mom in for a urine analysis. My poor mom was feeling so bad, I begged them to let her just drop a urine sample. All tbey had to do was print label and put it on a collection cup, but because she didn't have an appointment they couldn't do it. Didn't even bother to look for her order. I explained to them that her treatment depends on this test. The lady was so rude and dismissive. Helping someone in pain and miserable was not down her alley. Very sad and disappointing read more

I love this location, they're so nice, & they call you in really quick! The office is really clean as well! Have a great day & a better tomorrow! read more

If zero is an option , I will put zero! This place is a mess! You have an appointment and you still wait while wait in patients get priorities and when you go ask how long until they see you, they give you a freaking attitude! Don't schedule appointments if you cannot see patient at that time! DO NOT COME HERE! This place is not even worthy to be opened! read more

Waiting now 50 minutes when I had an appointment. Not enough chairs. People are slow. I miss Kaiser and Sutter. In and out in under 15 minutes. read more

Once you learn how to use the self check-in, it's a breeze to check in. As long as you have an appointment, wait times are minimal. The people who do the draws are all great. read more

Absolutely abysmal, run worse than a dog kennel, in fact you will think that is where you are when walking in. Always short handed with no visible attendant when you walk in and a large room with a small amount of chairs where most people have to wait standing. When many folks go to a lab they are in no condition to stand. If someone who is hiding behind a barrier can be talked to it is not friendly and mostly condescending. Even my doctor says they are having a lot of complaints about the unfriendly environment and the lack of available techs. when I walked in I had to go to a kiosk and answer a lot of questions on a touch pad and then insert my drivers license, yes I said my drivers license. then I was given an appointment that was four hours away. Are you kidding. it would seem that people like dignity health really have no dignity if they insist you use Quest. The only Quest they should be on is how to run a medical lab, and how to treat folks who are usually patients. I have moved to Sutter which is a dream compared to this animal farm. read more

Jesse was very helpful and patient in helping me find the MD order that did not crossover to their system and did the extra mile in calling the MD's office and ask to fax it to Quest instead, which solved the problem. read more

Horrible. Unless you enjoy sharing your private med and personal.info w the rest of the,waiting room and you enjoy a rude receptionist. Sadly, no choice depending on your primary care provider. Worse than DMV. read more

Long wait times, i have waited for 2 hours to give my blood work.. never gonna visit this center again...

Worst costumer service ever. I waited for about 40 minutes just for them to check me in. The fat black lady with the strawed looking hair in the front was sooo lazy . I'm Pregnant and she was being so rude. I started crying and she made me wait for 1 more hour until I just walked out. It was HORRIBLE!! read more

Poor customer service. The lady at the front desk is very very rude and harsh. Don't recommend going there.

Wait time is ridiculously way to long even with appointment. The lab that was on Wymark was much better wait time was good and staff were friendly.. lady's at front desk don't greet people as they walk in. I was recently at quest and they have three tablets to check in once you arrive. As the lady checked me in via tablet she told me they clean them often. I sat and as I waited to be called back not one time was the tablets cleaned. They should have sanitizer wipes for patients to use prior to using the tablets, to help germs from spreading. read more

Rude. Refuse to .let.you talk to a receptionist have to wait a long time for an appt. It is worse than walking. Walk in was faster you have to wait over a week.to have blood work dont. Worst ever since the change read more

Best Quest experience ever! They got me in quick with no appointment and just my Dr orders. Mel was sweet, funny, painless and fast! This is my favorite lab so far. read more

Just checked in today for a lab check up appointment at Quest Diagnostics (Elk Grove Location) and was not really liking the procedures of how they ran and did things. When it was my turn to get checked, the doctor seemed very unprofessional. Things got a bit more concerning when it came time for him to take my blood sample, which I noticed right off the bat that he used the same gloves from the start of when he called me to the end point of when he was about to take my blood. He was typing and moving the mouse of his computer with those same gloves for a few minutes (you don't know who was touching that keyboard and mouse before and can be full of bacteria) then proceeded to rip open a alcohol wipe and wipe down the area of my arm in which blood was going to be withdrew from. I wasn't sure if his dirty gloves touched the area in which he wiped down my arm with, but soon afterwards he started drawing blood and got a closer look at his glove and noticed that it was slightly dirty with dark stains. With the coronavirus and flu being at its highest peak right now and health safety being important in general, this should be common sense procedure to change out gloves after each patient which I highly doubt he did. I just hope I don't get sick from this check up. Trying to be as brief as possible here, but health professionals at Quest Diagnostics need to be more clean with their work stations and take safety precautions, not only for themselves but for their patients too. read more

I've been to Quest diagnostics a few times and each time has been a breeze. I've created a login so that I can sign into the patient portal on their website and check my lab results even before I have to go to the doctor to discuss them. read more

Most of the poor reviews are accurate! Terrible customer service mostly because because they are understaffed. Appointments are needed in most situatuons and still wayyyyyy behind schedule. The other Quest next to the Calvine Target is much more professional. read more

Long waiting beware. More than 2 hours are easy. Better check another lab. read more

Today was the worst service EVER. It states on the website and on the prerecorded phone message that appointments are not needed. Two weeks ago the hours from 7a.m-8am were for Seniors 65 and over. Today I showed up at 7:10 and they were sending people home, very rudely telling everyone with no appointment to leave and come back when they make an appointment. They even ushered out an elderly gentleman in a wheel chair whose medical van driver had left!! I came back at appointment time and then within minutes after my blood test was completed I received a text telling me to return to the "draw center to pick up your collection". I had a blood test so what does that even mean? They won't respond to the text message and their phone is only a recording. There is NO WAY to communicate with them. I have no idea why I should drive all the way out there for the 3rd time today. I will never use Quest again read more

I had lab work on September 26, 2020 and as of today my doctor has not received them, instead he received another doctor's results. The lady that draws blood is rude and unfriendly. read more

This place is absolutely slow. I have never had to wait so long with very few people. If I could I would give this place a negative!
