Today I went to Quest Diagnostics at Hacienda heights, with a long list of lab work. One of the sheets was from LabCorp. My primary doctor thought I still had the old insurance, so she emailed me all the lab requests, which had LabCorp on the paper. My insurance no longer covers that, so I went to Quest Diagnostics anyway, because it's so hard to contact my primary doctor's office to change it. Natalie, the person who drew my blood, patiently re-entered all the codes into the computer to match Quest Diagnostics. I was so nervous that I asked her how many vials of blood she would take, and she said ten. That made me even more nervous. She asked me if I had been drinking water. I said I had, and that I'd drunk a whole bottle, because I've never had a good experience with blood draws. I mostly kept my eyes closed. When she put the needle in my arm, it was only a pinch, so she was really an expert. I remember being traumatized by another doctor who took my blood, but Natalie's entire energy was very calm, friendly, and connecting. We need more people like this in places of high anxiety. After the eighth vial, I felt dizzy, and when I opened my eyes, I had double vision. She asked whether she should stop, and I told her to just finish. Then she took me to another room and put wet cold paper towel on the back of my head to help with blood pressure or something. I quickly chew on Chinese dates that I prepared for. I normally don't do well with fasting especialIy after 12 pm. I felt good feeling taken care of. Thank you, Natalie! read more

Make your appointments! If you don't, expect to wait a long time! Great service and on time when appointment is made. Check in process was easy and plenty of seating and plenty of parking too. Great location and easily accessible. read more

First time ever going to a blood draw poked twice. I did warn the nurse my vein is thin and tricky seems she didn't take note to me. This is the result I get. First poke on the left arm the nurse was not successful she poke my either tendon or muscle because there was no blood coming out. Second poke you can see my big bruise arm, she use the fine needle but she was not careful so one point the needle was 90 degrees which it cause the bruise. Sadly this is the closest lab my insurance would take and other than that make appointment beat the waiting in line. The wait room is filled with patients it's crazy. Also if your vein is like my thin and it moves. Tell the nurse using fine needles. read more

Quest is a great alternative to getting your labs done if your doctors are located far away. The phlebotomists here are very nice. It is a big laboratory now, however I was frustrated with the new check-in-system, make sure you have your driver's license and insurance on hand as you will need to scan each one of them and time runs out during check-in if you have to get it from your purse. It is also hard to get appointment times, if you have an emergency lab that needs to be done within a few days and before a specific time in the morning, it is very difficult to schedule an appointment. read more

Even with a scheduled appointment, there is a long wait. Furthermore, the arrangements for patients who have already provided samples for testing are inefficient; even if they arrive at their appointed time, they still have to wait about 40 minutes in the waiting area--all just to drop off a urine sample. read more

All Walk Ins prepare to wait more than 3 hours. They do not prioritize you unless you have an appointment and even then you will wait. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT I recommend. Also dont come no more than 15 min early for your apt they dont care if your an hour early they wont see You early. read more

Dont ever go as a walk in unless you plan on waiting half a day to be seen. Even with an appointment this facility is slow.

I make my appointments through online and it is a bit tough to get morning appointments but eventually one will pop up and you'll be able to get it once you get in. It's pretty simple. You'll get a message the day of your appointment you just confirm that you're there you don't have to do anything else but sit down and wait for them to call you Everyone's pretty friendly And you're pretty much in and out Each time I've gone the nurse that I get is very gentle. I don't realize that she's even poked me pretty fast. read more

I've been here probably a half a dozen times, each time with great experience. The waiting room is clean and tidy. There is never any wait to check in at one of the three machines. The phlebotomists are all proficient and courteous. Compared to the Quest Diagnostics labs and staff in and around Boston, MA, this place really shines. Their system is also punctual. Your wait is no more than 10 minutes from your scheduled time. But don't go early. My husband once went half an hour prior to his appointment time, but his name on the screen kept being pushed back as others checked in with appointments prior to his. He ended up being seen exactly at his scheduled time. This facility is conveniently located in the same strip mall as 99 Ranch Market, Bank of America, and a few small eateries. So there is ample parking, and easy to get food, money, and groceries. read more

checked in without an appointment, fully understanding there would be a wait. The system clearly stated an estimated wait time of 30-60 minutes. Unfortunately, I ended up waiting nearly two hours with no clear communication or accountability. During this time, I watched multiple patients--also without appointments--be seen and leave while I remained in the waiting room. Every person who was there when I arrived had already been seen and cleared out. Concerned that I may have been missed, I approached the front desk and was told they were "short staffed" and that patients had been waiting since 7 a.m. Respectfully, that explanation did not align with what was happening in real time. After almost two hours, I asked again for an ETA, explaining that I had been fasting and urgently needed to use the restroom. Sarah, the staff member I spoke with, said she could not provide an ETA and showed zero empathy or professionalism in her response. This is a healthcare setting. Delays can happen -- but poor communication, lack of compassion, and dismissive behavior should not. Sarah's demeanor and handling of the situation were unprofessional and unacceptable. The lack of empathy shown was honestly appalling. I will not be returning and would not recommend this location based on this experience. read more

Beware of this location! I should've read first before making an appointment here. They dont care even if you came in 1-2 hours early they will NOT attend to you. They are just slow. read more

The worse staff experience. Especially if you're just a walk in. Took 10 minutes before a staff even cane out to waiting area for me to approach. Super crowded, & felt dirty. Definitely never returning & not recommend. Giving one star because I had to give something to post to beware read more

Needed lab work done and my Dr wrote an order for Quest. I got home and looked on their website for the next available appointment. It was 2 weeks out.....what the heck???!! 2 weeks? OK, so 2 weeks go by and it's time for my appointment. This location is in the strip mall on Azusa - in the same plaza as Bank of America. I arrive and check in using the screens in the lobby. There was no attendant there, just screens for self check in and other patients waiting to be called. The technician called my name and I went with him to the room where he would attempt to get a few tubes of blood. First poke - he misses the vein. Second poke, he misses again and them attempts to move the needle while its still in me - if you haven't had that done, it freaked hurts a lot. When I had Kaiser, they would get it on the first try and they would see me the same day. What kinda circus did my Dr send me to???? Never again. This place is a joke. read more

Even with an appointment, checked in a timely manner, don't expect to be called in for like 20-30 minutes.

Located in Hacienda Center, all the way to the corner of the building. Parking can be packed, unless you park farther away. Everything is digital, there will be screen display to check in and schedule walk in. There is no human interaction until one of the staff calls the name. Very simple and quick. Your name gets call, they verify your information and do the work. The staff is okay, and gets the job done. read more

enjoy this location out of all the ones I visited. Marie was friendly and her skill drawing blood is good. read more

This Quest Diagnostics location used to be located across the street, in the plaza with the 168 Market, but has since moved to this newer location, near the 99 Ranch Market. There are only kiosks to check-in and no more counter window, with an employee to help or answer any questions one may have. It does feel a bit "cold" since it's all machine-based, no human touch, which can be a hinderance for those who do not speak English, have a disability, the elderly, or someone who may need a bit of help from a human being. Once you check-in, either through the phone or the kiosk, your name will be shown on the monitor and you can see that you have properly checked in, and also see where you "stand" in line. A phlebotomist will call you once it's your turn. I have always made an appointment before arriving, but I have seen people there as walk-ins as well. Overall, I am usually in and out really quickly. I have been to this location a handful of times since they have moved, and I'm usually brought to the back within a few minutes of checking in and my labs completed with a matter of minutes! Of course depending on the time of the day, and day of the week, parking can be tricky, with the amount of storefronts in this plaza. Sometimes there is a homeless person on the bench, near the entrance to Quest, as well. read more

This is the best Quest. All phlebotomist are excellent. Place is clean. Patrons are polite and peaceful in the waiting area. It's lovely. So glad it's hear. Honestly, I've had some nightmare experiences at other Quests. read more

Update , 4 hrs already still waiting !!!! I wish i could make zero star to this worst Lab ever !! I'm honestly baffled by how complicated this lab made something as simple as dropping off a stool sample. My son needed a test, so we were told we had to make an appointment just to drop it off -- because they need time to "make a label." I'm not sure how long printing a label is supposed to take, but I can't imagine it's more than a minute. The bigger issue is, how am I supposed to guarantee exactly when my son will poop? even a day before. It's not like I can schedule his bowels. We did our best -- rushed to the lab as soon as we had the sample -- only to be told we were more than 10 minutes late and our appointment was cancelled. We were told to wait as a walk-in instead. I've now been waiting here for over 3.5 hours just to hand over a stool sample. The process is beyond frustrating and unnecessarily difficult for parents already stressed about their child's health. There's got to be a better way to handle something this basic. Absolutely ridiculous experience. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Hacienda Heights, California

My wife (who is pregnant) took our 2-year-old son here for a simple blood test on Sept 30th, and the experience was beyond unprofessional. The nurse and her assistant had absolutely no bedside manner -- instead of treating us with care, they went out of their way to shame and accuse us. They told my wife that our son "should have had this test a year ago," something no doctor has EVER told us before, and accused us of "neglect." Then, to top it off, the assistant claimed our son's blood was "too thick because he doesn't drink water" -- completely false, and an absurd, reckless thing to say. Our son drinks water daily. Instead of helping, they left my wife in tears and made an already stressful situation far worse. This office clearly doesn't understand basic respect, compassion, or professionalism. If you value being treated like a human being, avoid this place at all costs. read more

I am the care provider for my mother. If , I do not assist her the facility is not staffed for elderly who are not familiar appointment process. Walk in services are NOT WELCOMED. The wait times are distorted. The signage posted needs revisions. If there was an vendor for my mother's needs , I would pay for the convenience. Unfortunately due to the monopoly that Quest has on this market most clients are at their mercy. Big Business making our seniors feel helpless ! read more

Location is in a busy plaza, near a 99 ranch so parking can be a bit busy. It's very clean inside. There is no receptionist, you either check in online or you use their tap screens. The online check-in wasn't working for me so I used their tap screen. I am tech savvy so I had no issues with checking in. The set up is very ablest. An older lady asked me for help with checking in and English wasn't her first language so I had to guess how to check her in because she did the check in via a language I don't understand. The check in system is timed and she was a pretty slow reader so it ended up timing out on her, but she said it told her that she'd be receiving a call so I hope it worked out for her. They really should have at least one receptionist, even fast food spots have someone who can work as a cashier. I had an appointment and was taken in on time. Their were quite a few people, maybe 7 people in the waiting room. My phlebotomist was professional and I had no issues with her piercing the needle in my vein, there was minimal bleeding. I also had an urine test, they give you the cup and you use go to the restroom then drop off your sample in a little shelf. My phlebotomist disappeared when I dropped off my sample and I had no idea if I was suppose to wait for her or not so I just ended up leaving. She wasn't clear on whether or not I still needed to talk to her but I haven't heard anything from quest so I assume it's fine that I left. The whole system seems like it can be better with some administrative staff on site. Even booking an appointment is through a automated phone call. The only actual person I saw working there was my phlebotomist. Overall my experience was okay there but I do worry about less tech savvy people who most likely do not read yelp reviews. read more

First time coming to Quest for bloodwork and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. You get a text message 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment as a reminder to check in. They provide a link for checking in but you are only allowed to check in 10 minutes prior to your appointment time. I highly recommend making an appointment prior. The walk ins had to wait and with my appointment, I was able to go in when I arrived. The phlebotomist was very skilled and was able to find a vein very quickly on the first prick. I have very small veins so it usually takes a few tries. The facility is very clean and the waiting room is nice. They are under construction on the outside but still open for business. Highly recommend this location! read more

I would love to know why Quest feels that their patients don't need to talk to a live person on the phone. Absolutely ridiculous. Good luck getting anything done and this or any other Quest location. read more

This place walk in for service is terrible, people are very slow and just talking inside. If you walking for service it takes at least 3 hours. I don't recommend anyone going there for walk in services . read more

My husband took my daughters as walk ins because they had zero appointments and they had to be fasting. They arrived before 7am and were in the door right when they opened. They have been waiting for 5 1/2 hours so far and still have not been seen. This is not how you treat people! She has to have labs done today so they have to wait but this is too long to have a child wait. She is on over 18 hrs fasting. read more

The walk-in process was easy. The wait was bearable. There is an appointment list and walk in list. When there is a gap in the appointment, the waitlist will be called. The screen can give you a sense of walk-in is a good idea. Come with your lab order, ID, and insurance card. The service was quick once you are called in. read more

Quest has very bad appt schedule. It takes 2-3 weeks for soonest appt. Especially this location, it took 2 hours for 2 walk-in ahead of me. I wouldn't recommend Quest lab, especially this location. At least, it is not for someone who has work read more

Worst experience ever! Went in as a walk in on 2/17/25 and the employee that was there was very rude a Spanish speaking lady with nappy long hair with a braid. She was mistreating everyone that didn't speak English, she was treating all the patients like if they were children or worst. Very rude lady! I left this office without being seen due to the horrible experience. This employee needs to be disciplined. Never again going back. The lady refused to help any Spanish speaking patient that needed assistance with the kiosk machine. read more

My daughter and I went to this location on Saturday morning without appointment, the waiting time is less than 10 minutes after sign in which makes me really impressed. While drawing my daughter's blood they are also very fast and smooth. My daughter was very scared at the beginning but the nurses help me to calm her down and teach me how to hold her . After they had done their job, my daughter asked them to help her beanie baby to draw the blood too , they did spend extra time with the beanie baby. I am very appreciate for their patience and love. Great experience! read more

Make an appointment if possible. Bring an up to date insurance card, Id/driver license and another form of payment just in case. If you need assistance with kiosk check in I would ask someone to accompany you. The kiosk and tv are very informative on how long you may wait and what place you are at in line. I was able to walk in, they do prioritize appointments even if they come in earlier than their appointment time. My 6 year old daughter needed to fast for this appointment, I believe they took this into consideration and took her quickly. But I will be making appointments for the future. Staff is very attentive and really great with children doing blood work. 10/10 care quality. read more

Kioks are a great for checking if you're technology efficient. I seen an older lady that couldn't use the kiosk and no one came out to help. Employees should help the elderly with checking in or people who have difficulties. Quest please improve your customer service and help accommodate others who have difficulty with technology. read more

Customer service review!!! The staff was very helpful. I waited an hour here because my doctor never sent over the second order of blood work. After going back and forth with my doctors office, the staff here offered to call them directly. They had trouble getting through as well but they finally were able to obtain the order from the doctor. The staff here could have easily canceled my appt. My blood work wasn't a stat or maintenance order but instead they offered to help me and assured me that I will be seen. I really appreciate this location's staff for this reason. They also have the best phlebotomist here. I believe my phleb's name was Amber. She was great, helpful, and I didn't feel a thing. read more
