I hate doing bloodwork but under the circumstances I do love going to Quest Diagnostic! This was the first time using the Beach Blvd location. I've never had any issues or problems with Quest Diagnostic with making appointments and getting bloodwork done. I've ALWAYS made appointments on the app a week prior and always been able to get the date and times needed. Once I arrive at the office I check in on the app and within a few minutes they call me back. Usually I'm in and out within 15 to 30 minutes. At each location I've used everyone has always been super helpful and very friendly! Observations from today and past visits: those who choose not to make appointments will sit there a while and get upset because they aren't being called. They were mad with me today! They said "You just walked in and stood there and 5 minutes later you're called back"... "Then 10 minutes later you are walking out and leaving"! Then they tell me they have been sitting there for hours! I tell them "make the appointment on the app". Easy-Peasy People!!!! Use the app and make the appointment! Definitely recommend Quest Diagnostic!!!

I waffled between a two and 3 star review during this visit. The positive - Clean Staff were professional while actively drawing blood Con- Inefficient time management with appointments No one in waiting room to assist people that needed it We arrived around 15 mins early and checked in without issues on the mobile app. Others had a few issues with the touchscreen in the lobby due to the number of people already checked in. We were not called until 30 mins after our designated appointment time. Then sat waiting an additional 10 mins in the draw room. The person drawing the blood was super nice and helped ease the process.

My bandage from getting bloodwork done

It was amazing the staff was wonderful and my blood work didn't hurt a bit 100% recommend to friends

Check in kiosk

Don't trust the kiosk. All I needed to do was drop off a specimen. I followed the instructions on the kiosk. It gave me a number, 103, to listen for when called. Thirty minutes later, a rude employee talked down to me in front of everyone and said I didn't select "medical professional" from the kiosk. I'm not a medical professional. Stay away from this location. Or perhaps quest in general.

Nothing but good comments on my visit. 1. No appointment no worries, there was a line formed in a single row waiting to get in. 2. Whenever an employee entered the facility while we aired said good morning. 3. The staff was prompt and started on time, even allowing us into the hallway of the facility a few minutes early. 4. My wait minutes from the time I checked in to , verification of insurance to getting blood drawn was less than 15 minutes!!! On a Saturday Morning. Much praise. 5. The staff was courteous, upbeat, knowledgeable and friendly. 6. I barely felt the stick of the needle from my phlebotomist. 7. The facility was clean and organized. 8. Wear a mask policy was in effect for all patients and staff. 9. When I left all staff wished me a wonderful day. 10. I would use this location every time. Conveniently located and Saturday appointment/ availability. Kudos to the staff for making this a great experience.

Worst experience trying to get my lab work done

I have been putting off getting my lab work done for weeks because it has been a hassle every single time I've gone to quest to get my lab work done. You're not able to schedule and appointment online. Walk-in is the only option you have at this time (which is understandable due to our country currently undergoing a pandemic). My review has to do with the customer service. They lock their front doors so you can't get in. You'll wait in a line for 20-30 minutes prior to going in. You can knock but the personnel will ignore you. I've been in the receiving end of waiting outside and being ignored when I knocked and waiting inside in the gallery or in the back to be called. You have to check-in once you walk in and the wait time is always 95 minutes. All the personnel is grumpy, angry and moody. This is my 4th time trying to get my blood work done. I've been to the Jacksonville Beach, Beach Boulevard location, Southside location and finally this location on University Boulevard. The last 3x I went to Quest I had to leave because I either had to go back to work or didn't feel comfortable waiting in a large crowd of people. The worst part is. I finally told myself that I will wait the 95 minutes and as I sat and waited at the University location. The wait was only 15 min and not 95 minutes. I think Quest tried to scare people into leaving by stating it'll be over an 1 and half wait after you check in. It's all a a scare tactic to get you to leave.

Do not come to this Location without an appointment. I chose this location because it had the shortest wait online. When I arrived, there was maybe one person in the lobby. I checked in and was ordered to wait in the lobby or in my car due Covid. I was told I would receive a text to enter. After waiting 20 minutes in my car as instructed, I was inclined to check my text and I got one small message stating "Please return to the Patient Draw Center for your collection now." Ten minutes after arriving. I entered, of course when I saw the message. And the front desk raved about how they called me several times. But only received one message that was easy to over look. Not much social Distance and people were coughing in the waiting area. When I arrived inside, my name said eight minutes to wait, but the number kept getting later and later. They allowed others in front of me and didn't bother to give me priority. I went back up to the desk where she turned to the other nurses and said "didn't we call her along time ago?". I told Her I was scheduled to work at 9:45 and needed to be out. She said appointments take priority. It is now 9:32 and there are five others waiting . I just got my lab paper three days ago and the soonest apt was for April 5th online. I was called a few minutes before 9:45am and the woman who took my sample was friendly, fast, and had an upbeat personality. Luckily, my schedule started at 10:30am. I just knew they'd be late and traffic would be heavy next time. Send maybe more than one text message. Thx

So I walked in and first thing I hear is a grumpy front desk lady say " you need a mask" and I don't mind wearing a mask when asked however when the person asking is rude it makes want to refuse just because but I didn't, I did what I was asked. They only have a few seats for people, everyone else has to wait outside and at least it seemed fairly clean in there. I went to get labs done and what I can say is they nice lady who took my blood did an amazing job with sticking me as usually it's very difficult to get blood from me but she did great and got it first time!! I guess I can recommend this spot for your labs and they also have ample parking

See all

We've been waiting in the lobby for an hour and a half. The staff has seen us but hasn't bothered to assist us. All we need is blood work.

5940 Beach Blvd 32216 is not closed. Most complaints would be eliminated if an appointment is made. Simple.

The phlebotomist that drew my blood was very friendly and professional and poked me one time.

We're not talking about complex laps, but basic metabolic profile or thyroid levels. They stay quite busy, but as long as you make an appointment, they generally see you within 15 minutes of that appointment time. They seriously need to fix the issue as to why it is taking so long to get lab results back and often they don't post in your patient portal either without you having to call. If this trend continues, I will be forced to use a different lab.

I then waited in my car per the check-in instructions. 30 minutes later, 15 minutes past my appointment, I decided to go inside for an update on the wait time. The waiting room was packed. I explained to the girl at the desk my situation, and patiently asked for an update. After a couple of minutes, she instructed me to come to the back, where she drew my blood. Initially, I was impressed, because while the check-in system seemed to not work well, I was glad they were able to get me taken care of. She drew my blood without much ado, and I was on my way. It didn't hurt much at the time she took it, but then the area where she took my blood proceeded to bruise up, and my whole arm hurt any time I bent my elbow or something touched the site. I later learned from nurse friend that this is caused by injury to the vein, which has never has happened to me before at their main competitor. A week later, the bruising and pain are subsiding. I don't blame the phlebotomist, as she was very friendly, and I see her as being rushed because there was not enough help, which I ultimately blame on a company for not paying well enough to attract enough people to work there. The pro was that results were fast and easy to access, but after my vein was injured due to rushed staff, I will never be returning.

That was my check in , easy peasy!! The waiting room was clean, organized and they had an electric board up in the waiting room to show what place you are in line for the phlebotomist. The phlebotomist was kind and caring. She engaged in small talk. She confirmed my insurance and identification. She was very professional and courteous to my needs.

I was seen 5 minutes before my appointment time. The office was extremely clean and well maintained. I am EXTREMELY scared of needles. It took me years of gathering courage to make this appointment. I let the woman at the desk know that I am very nervous and will likely pass out. She said that's okay you'll be able to lay down. Kenya was the one who took my blood and she walked me to a back room. I was able to lay flat and the curtain was closed so it was calm lighting. Kenya was extremely understanding, compassionate, and patient. She did a fantastic job! Very little pain and even kept some small talk going to make sure I stayed calm. She let me lay there as long as I needed afterwards and I didn't feel rushed at all. Upon walking out, everyone congratulated me for doing it! I felt so supported and their kindness meant a lot. Overall, a really great experience and it's worth making an appointment beforehand so you can be seen quickly.

I was able to get an appointment within a few days, they gave me an estimate of the cost over the phone. I won't know for a while if it was accurate or not (which makes me nervous, so I'll have to do an update on that when the bill comes through). The down-side is that it is billed as a hospital x-ray, so it will be more expensive, but the estimate was $59 and I can live with that, about $19 more than the price quoted at the out-patient radiology place. Given that this would allow my doctor easy access to the films I guess that will be worth the $19, as long as the estimate was accurate. The building was fairly easy to find, but watch out for the parking lot, the driveway is deceiving. Pull into the second drive even if it looks like it is the wrong one. I got stumped on where to park. The entrance is down some stairs and the entrance isn't very well-marked, but I figured it out. Once I got inside I got signed in and taken back right away, no waiting so that was great. The whole process only took a few minutes and I was on my way. So, a good experience all the way around. I recommend them. The front lobby looked clean and presentable. Nothing fancy, but nice. The person at the desk was pleasant.
