I don't understand all the 1 star, it's possible the tech working here w low rating no longer works here. We are both cancer survivors and have to get blood works frequently, I'm grateful daddy is in the WH, I was paying $900 a month premium a month so Newsom can give free health care to migrants. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, things are getting better since 11/5/2024. I have changed Quest Diagnostic many times, this one is the last time I have to do so, the worst one is next to Fountain Valley hospital, the wait was up to 1 hour, the room was full of migrants they probably had TB or other pulmonary diseases, they coughed their brain out and I was fearful we would both die from caching TB as said above, we are both immunocompromized, btw keep our health care excellence, most cancer patients are dead in Canada, in America you die w cancer and rarely die OF CANCER. The 3 Quest offices in and near OC Memorial hospital, the wait was ridiculous up to 40 minutes maybe 15 min w appointements and you spend 25 minutes looking for parking, this office has been here for years, I can't understand why I never thought about coming here. The tech was quiet but she did her job, it's Ok, I don't need to chat, just get my blood work done and get out fast! I'm totally shocked the results were in 24 hrs, it used to take a week and it was like pulling teeth, I had to call them to demand my results, geez, what was their problem so trust me, my reviews are 100% accurate, the good, the bad and the ugly, I never sugarcoat anything. I'll post this on Google soon, it's not fair the low rating hurting their business. Everything is cool except my A1C, I have been eating too much rice with HAINAN CHICKEN 3X, I usually don't eat rice, bread chocolate, I don't like starchy food in general but the glutinous rice in rice cake killed my A1C, I have to stop any more Hainan chicken rice or I will get diabetes. The parking here is great, plenty of parking, altogether I saved 1 hour coming here. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Took both my kids (aged 10 and 12) in to get their blood drawn. Upon entry, we checked in, and the kiosk requested for us to scan our insurance cards, which I didn't have on me. I asked one staff if it was possible to check in without the insurance card and if they had it on file. She was rude and dismissive but I didn't let it bother me, as it was 7:40am and I'm sure the staff are tired and busy. When it was time for my 10 year old to get his bloodwork, the plebotomist named Zenaib, sat him down and didn't greet any of us. No simple hellos, no smiles, no words of encouragement. Given that children are nervous to get blood drawn, you would think she'd cared a little bit to be gracious in her demeanor. It doesn't end there... She inserted the needle and couldn't find the vein and started FISHING around his vein with the needle. My son was already crying after she fished for the vein 6 times. She didn't care. Again, no words of encouragement! She moved the needle around under his skin NINE times!!!!!!!!! I had to intervene and told her to stop. Had I not, I'm unsure how much longer she'd fish around! Once she took the needle out, she didn't even address my son (who's profusely crying), nor did she give me any directives on next steps. I requested for someone else who's more experienced with the "little ones". The other Plebotomists indicated that they're all "trained" the same, in which I highly doubt. At this point, I had to remain super calm (and nice), despite the frustration, as I wanted my son to have a successful blood draw after the first fiasco. Rita, who drew blood from my daughter attempted one time successfully, so we requested for her to try my other son's arm. She wasn't the most personable person either, but at least she got the job done successfully on one try. I asked another Phlebotomist on the way out how many times they typically fish for a vein before they stop and she told me three. Only THREE times!!! It blows my mind how Zenaib would fish NINE times!!!! Yes! I counted! I would greatly despise that experience for myself, much less for any child! Only 1 out of the 3 Phebotomists here are friendly and personable. Is a smile and a hello hard to come by nowadays? I don't need it as an adult, but when children come in, I'm hoping they would be more gracious to them in the future. I personally would not be back to this location (heck- I may even stop going to Quest in general). If you do go, avoid Zenaib, especially if you bring in your child. read more

This gets a zero. Do not come here with anyone that you care about. The lady who took my mom's blood the last two times has been consistently HORRIBLE. No gentle touch. Horrible communication. She will not accommodate people with mobility needs, bark at you, and slam the door in your face. AVOID SHEILA IN STATION 3. Do not come here. read more

Horrible service. I had an appointment they said I didn't it's my first time here I was the FIRST ONE THERE! They took everyone before me!! Beach and Yorktown is WAY WAY BETTER !! The lady should have took me in really upset. I had 5 kids waiting for me. And she went to the next person! read more

The only saving grace of my experience was the kind and patient phlebotomist who ultimately assisted me. I had mistakenly gone to the Warner location and checked in via mobile, only realizing the error when I didn't see my name on the screen. I quickly realized I had actually booked the Brookhurst location on Ellis, rushed over and arrived about 7 minutes late. When I asked one of the phlebotomists (a woman with long curly hair) if she had called my name, she responded with unnecessary attitude: "Yes, we called your name. Are you here now?" Her tone felt dismissive and unprofessional, which only added to the stress of the situation. Thankfully, the other phlebotomist who ended up helping me was kind and patient. read more

Office is rude. Waited in line for appointment. The office lady saw me waiting in line by the time I got to the front it was a little past my appointment time and she wouldn't make an exception for one minute. read more

Super slow. No one is working the desk. Only two people working and they are incredibly slow and unfriendly. Never coming here again.

Made appointment and was taken 3 mins after appointment time. Thought that was perfect timing. Girl that drew blood was very friendly and I didn't feel a thing. I didn't get her name. I know she was room one. She was very good. I would go back. I was very happy with whole appointment. Thank you. read more

I recommend this particular office as having the best blood taker of all time. Maybe he was a vampire in another like but it was the quickest and most pain free blood panel ever taken (and I have had close to 60-70 in my lifetime (I get one every quarter and I was hospitalized for a time and got 2 a day) read more

The girls here are all wonderful! I'm a hard stick (everyone who draws my labs agrees - whether its a nurse, or a phlebotomist. even the ultrasound techs struggle to get me in one poke (The most pokes its taken was 9 collectively) and unfortunately need labs taken at least once a week if not more. It isn't a lack of skill on their part, its just a lack of cooperative veins on my part.) I've been to labs that had to send me home because nobody could get me in the alotted amount of pokes. But at this location they've always been successful, and they're super friendly. Even though I come back every week and constantly need labs drawn they're friendly, and if one of them struggles to poke me (or isn't sure they can in one poke) they work together to make sure I'm poked as few times as possible. I've been to every Quest in this area (and a bunch of other cities from Modesto to Palm Springs) as well, and I will always choose this one if there's an appointment available. I recommend this location to anyone I know needing labs drawn as well. I'd trust any of them at this Quest (even if I do have favorites) Unrelated to the service - the parking situation is also usually okay. There's a decent amount of spots, including 8 disabled spots as well. There are multiple medical offices (including an urgent care) in the building, but I've never had an issue finding a parking spot although occassionally its a bit further from the entrance. It's easy to find the building, and the Quest office is on the 1st floor and isn't hard to find from the entrance. read more

I went here last October/2024 for bloodwork. Turns out one item could only be tested on blood drawn before 9am. I said I'll come back another day. I don't want to make two copayments. I just live 2 blocks away. The tech there said no problem. Don't make an appointment, just walk in. She could take my blood now and I can just walk in to have the early item drawn later. There would only be one copayment. WRONG. I tell this to the billing dept when the bill comes and they said for me to have the lab note this in my account and they would remove. I go back in person (no one answers phones there) and they say there is nowhere to note this in their system for billing to see. 10 phone calls, multiple emails and now they have sent it to collections. I have had cancer 4 times, paid Quest literally thousands of dollars in lab bills for biopsies and bloodwork and this is the hill they want to die on. Go to LabCorp. I'm telling my oncologist to never send any of my orders to Quest again. read more

Came to this location as a walk-in since it was close to home. Checked in and was told to wait in building lobby and they would call my cell. They also said it'd be a hour wait. After an hour of waiting, I checked in with the same receptionist. She told me they called me and left a message. I NEVER received a call or voicemail. She told me they cancelled me in the system and I would have to check back in and wait. Total BS!!! Lab techs were friendly and professional. Poor score due to ineffective check-in and receptionist. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. I hate leaving negative reviews but I came here with my three kids for my daughter's blood test. I came early about 30 min because we were out running errands. They went on to help 5 people that walked in after us. When I finally asked what was going on, she said they didn't know if they had butterflies and they are looking for them, and if not, they will send me somewhere else. Excuse me? Make me wait 30 min with three kids without communicating? Then she said that she was on break. I don't know what the other lady was doing? It was like excuses after excuses after excuses. And as I'm writing this, I'm still waiting to see if they have the butterflies. They still haven't told me....going on 40 min with antsy kids. And I have a freaking appointment!!!!!! read more

I'm really shocked at the low reviews of this location and was planning to pick another site to do my lab work; however, the location and online booking system seemed far too convenient for me to pass up, so I decided to go for it and thank goodness I did because I had a great experience. I not only got in and out of the appointment within 10 minutes, but they conducted many safety precautions that made me feel safe. The front office staff kept wiping down all the surface areas and there were areas with social distancing markers for people to stand 6 feet apart. Additionally all staff members wore face masks and face shields, and required all people entering the office to wear a mask. On my visit only one other patient was there, so it seemed to me that they were limiting the number of people inside the office at a time. As for the lab work, my phlebotomist was kind and quick. She filled 4 bottles of blood and before I knew it I was getting tapped up and ready to go home. Should I need to return, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here! read more

Long wait time! They have only one staff member working on a Tuesday. If you have appointment you cut to the front of the line. I got here at 10:50 am. I checked in for 11:30 am. It's now 11:32 and 6 patients still ahead of me. read more

Needed to take a urine drug test for an employer. Appointment was for 9:40am Checked in just after 9:30am I was asked for my drivers license around 9:40am. Waited in the waiting room until 10:15am Whole process took about 5-6 minutes. I felt that this process took longer than it should have. I did not get any bad vibes from the girl who was manning the front desk; may not be the one all the bad reviews mention. The waiting room was pretty full when I first walked in; I assumed they were mainly walk-ins. There's a TV monitor in the top right corner of the room that shows the number of people being serviced and how many people have appointments in the next hour. The "serviced" number was always (1) even though there appeared to be two nurses in the back and one at the front desk. Just before I was finally called back, one of the nurses asked the second nurse who was sitting in her little cubicle, to help with patients. Not sure what she was doing in there, but I ended up with her. Nothing special about my interaction. She spoke very quickly, and did not seem personable. I don't care much for small talk but it was obvious that she was trying to get this over with as quickly as I was. I suppose I should appreciate that; but after waiting over 30 minutes past my appointment, what was another few minutes? Overall, my experience with setting an appointment at this location did not go the way I had planned. I don't mind a short wait but as I was leaving, I felt like I could've just walked in during my lunch and it would have taken the same amount of time without an appointment. Again, my interactions with the staff here were not necessarily bad experiences. Maybe they are short staffed here and each of the nurses are really feeling it...? Regardless, I will probably take my chances at a different location should I need another appointment with Quest. read more

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT! Even if no one is ahead of you and they are open they will not see you. Not worth the drive over!!!

My husband and I had a 7:30 AM appointment. We were taken back within 5 to 10 minutes. Both our phlebotomists were excellent. My husband had Debra who is friendly and very skilled- he said "no pain". I had Julian. Usually I need a butterfly, because I have very tiny veins. And I hate blood draws, they make me very anxious. But Julian was confident and skilled that I didn't need a butterfly, and that he would be able to be successful on the first draw - And he was and there's no bruising! On a sidenote, we have been going to this particular quest for years. We have always made appointments and the phlebotomists are great. Parking is easy, it's easy to find, The lobby is spacious and clean. I always check in through the link that is texted to us which is awesome and we just come in and sit. Have never had a problem with a customer service/front desk. Although now with the kiosk and e-check in, they don't have a live person in front. Totally recommend this location read more

I got here early to get blood work done , the women's name was Angie She was so rude. Yes she was standing by someone. I just asked can I ask a question. She rudely said no. She could have said I'll get someone for you. I had to use the restroom so bad I thought I was going to pee my pants. the very nice Gentleman I saw let me in to use the restroom. That's all I wanted, I told him Thank you read more

I had a fantastic experience here! Veronica worked hard to get all the tests I needed ready and my phlebotomist, Julian was OUTSTANDING! I want to request him every single time from now on. As someone who is not great at handling blood, Julian made it seem easier and he was so patient. Thank you! read more

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT. If you try to do walk in you will wait 1 hr plus. They might as well advertise we do not do walk ins. Wish I had selected a different location for my drug screen. Absolutely atrocious. Only 2 people were working and the check in is a robot. Quest cut costs in the form of labor and patients pay the price. read more

Phlebotomist did a poor job drawing my blood. They left the injection site very bruised, bloody, and painful.

I selected this Quest location since it was open on Saturdays. I came in just after 8:00 AM for a 8:10 AM appointment. I was done and out by 8:10 AM. My phlebotomist was good as there was no purple bruising where my blood was drawn. read more

Wow! The worst customer service ever. The girl at the front desk was a B word!!! No help at all. Will NEVER be returning to this quest diagnostic again ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Quest scheduling is a joke, the only way to make an appointment is automated system. Almost impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Lettice is so sweet and nice! The front desk are so welcoming and friendly. I arrived too late to do a urine drug test but Lettice was very helpful and gave me a paper with an address to another facility with extended hours and weekend availability. She also was very good with the blood draw. I felt very comfortable coming to this location even though I passed by about 4 other Quest locations closer to my house. This location wasn't inside a hospital which made it more attractive. read more

Exceptionally rude and unhelpful staff. Particularly from the front desk attendant.The front desk attendant should not have a job (I don't say that lightly) her demeanor was gaslighting, condescending, and overall disgusting. Just gross. So bad one of the people waiting in the seats spoke up to defend me. This is one of the worst service experiences I've had in my life. Go anywhere else because these people will not offer you care of help. This place should be ashamed of what they let occur here. read more

trash. all quest locations are trash. their underpaid unhappy employees are rude. their check in policy with a kiosk is poor performance.

The check in kiosk doesn't work. There is no attendants available, extremely slow and always late. I waited for almost 1 hour with an appointment. So rude. read more

Absolutely worst customer service! The lady in front threw indirect words towards my partner and was rude as hell! Kept cutting off everyone as they were trying to speak, pissed off another gentleman who just completely walked out because of how he was treated. Why be here if you obviously don't care about helping people. I mean isn't that what your here in the medical field for!? Front receptionist had to nametag was working august 26 at 9:30 read more

As a health care professional who is just here to drop off specimens why do I always have to wait?? Have already done their job for them why can't they just take the damn specimens? They need to take lessons from lab Corp who are efficient. Rude ass employees at all locations. Hate hate hate coming here read more

This location has the nicest phlebotomists, I never feel the needle stick. Appointments are needed as it does get busy. Check in is easy that way and I never have to wait more than 5 minutes. read more

Total indifference to whether or not you stay and use them. Business must be booming.

This location used to be great! Extremely rude staff, Particularly Amy or Aimee! Would recommend going somewhere else!

I can see why the reviews are so low. Went in for my glucose test for pregnancy & the lady who helped me was kinda rude. Took my drink & waited almost the hour. She took me to the back & I waited another 5 minutes because that's what I had left. She came in verified my info like they always do. She cleaned the area & stuck me with the needle no problem so far. She fills the first little vile tube & takes it out pops in the second one. Second one didn't stay & popped off falling on the floor. Asks me to grab her another one. Says gray so I reach & am able to grab it. Pops it in AGAIN it pops out falls on the floor. I turn around to grab another gray one & when I turn around she picked up the one from the floor & used it. It was filling up by the time I turned around with a new one. I am shocked! Can't go anywhere else because the order was for quest diagnostics! So unprofessional! Unsanitary to say the least! read more

This place is a joke! 2 in the afternoon, 1 person working 10 people in the waiting room. Waited to long to leave. read more

Not a friendly place. Customer service is bad. Everyone is cold and mean. I'm looking for another lab.

Nothing I love more than the rude ass girl upfront saying to wait in my car, and I wait for over 2 hours for a pee test. But for other people to cruise in and out with a walk in. Fuck thag girl. Fuck this quest. read more

It took me a week and a half to get an appointment which was at 10:45 am. I arrived at 10:35 and waited in the waiting room until 11:15 and was called back to room 1. I waited there another 5 minutes and then Serra came in and said, "We cannot do your tests because we close for lunch and we don't have time to do it before lunch." I told her that I took the morning off work for this appointment and she said, "We have nothing to do with appointment scheduling." Stay away from this place..!!! read more

Quest Diagnostics appointment system is a joke! First of all, I went on their website telling me there is 0 minute wait for walk-ins. So I went in, there were about 8 people in front of me, fine! Obviously the wait time estimate was a fake! So I checked-in. After one hour waiting there were still had 3 people in front of me? Why, because every person with an appointment got to go in first, so I was put at last when everyone came in for their appointment. Finally, I knew my hand started shaking due to fasting and I had low blood sugar & low blood pressure, there were still 3 people in front of me, I knew it's time to get something to eat! So I had to leave! The staffs were incompetent and didn't care about the patients. Just don't go to Guest Diagnostics without an appointment. Stupid lesson learned. I understand to make appointment means priority, but the walk-ins queue shouldn't be put into the last priority, you have to check the walk-in's wait time and set a maximum wait time. As I am typing and complaining to my friend, she waited 3 hours at a different location! I can't believe that! For a low blood sugar person like me will definitely die at the lab! This system needs to be improved. read more
