If I could rate this place half a star I would. Took a family member of mine for a blood test requested by the doctor. The doctor's office told us to go in and they should take us in quickly. So we walked in and enrolled for a standby appointment; we slowly realized that they wouldn't call ANYBODY from the standby line at all. We waited for approximately 1hr 30 min-2 hours to get called, but they would only take in regular appointments despite there being a "Walk-ins welcome" sign. The system warned us that we might have to wait which was fine, but after a while I came to the conclusion that they were never going to call us. The more people that came in for their scheduled appointments the chance of getting called in as a standby waitlist/appointment drastically go down. Don't fall for waiting in the standby line unless you have all day to wait around, also if they're knowingly not going to use the standby line, I don't know why this is an option.
They also don't offer any appointment times at this location for another day if you select blood test/"other test" on their appointment website even though people walked out with bandages from bloodwork? Plus, there's no front desk staff or any staff to help you with appointment questions or concerns, there's just two iPads there to help so if you need assistance you'll probably have to ask a patient nearby.
They also won't give you an estimated wait time if you utilize the standby line? So you're left guessing if they'll call you in or not; your name appears on the waiting list on the TV screen in the waiting room, but no time estimate is given there so you might be waiting there all day without even knowing it.
A patient was there to pick up a test and they made him wait in standby along with the rest of us (same long wait time); he stopped the phlebotomist to tell her that he was just there to pick something up and the phlebotomist said too bad, there's a standby waitlist and we might not even take you in today. She was incredibly rude and didn't give care then waved him off.
Please get an appointment before arriving here because the wait for standby was insane and the workers there don't really care how long you wait. They'll keep you there all day without knowing if you'll be able to go in and get your testing done, and act like it's your fault that you decided to wait it out unfortunately.
We made an appointment at the Tarzana Quest office on Burbank Blvd the same day and they were awesome. Even when the bloodwork order was having trouble getting processed they helped us out and got my family member the bloodwork they needed done. They even stayed a little past closing to help us out since we were the last appointment of the day which they really didn't need to do, but helped us anyways. They wholeheartedly cared and wanted to get us the help we needed which was such a blessing. read more
