I had reason to visit the newly opened Quest diagnostic lab on E. Orangeburg, across the parking lot from the previous location. I found the place well designed, check in was fast, and the staff right on point. This will be my new favorite location! read more

Quest Diagnostics - This is the new location of the Quest lab on E. Orange burg. - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Modesto, California

Have been here twice with appointment and haven't waited more than twenty minutes. A big plus is that the place was well-ventilated, even with an almost-full waiting room and the doors closed (I had a personal CO2 monitor to confirm). There were "APPOINTMENT ONLY" paper notices on the kiosks, but I assume the room was full of people without appointments because I overheard someone mention a three hour wait for those without appointments and there were only three or four names on the appointment list screen. I don't like that there is no reception desk--just kiosks and chairs--but I suppose one could knock on the door. While I was there, someone did knock on the door, but they had to knock several times before someone responded. Also, I saw here what happens often at these "kiosk only" places--when someone needs help, they end up asking others waiting for help because the staff is not available. read more

I just had the best bloodwork experience of my life. Quest on Orangeburg Ave is amazing the woman taking care of my bloodwork was awesome and went out of her way to calm me down and make things so much less stressful. Thank you! read more

Slowest Quest I have been to. Bad about following up in the waiting room and system was down 2 days in a row.

I come to this lab pretty routinely for tests . I make a appointment every time. Super Fast professional service. Clean environment and a very convenient location . I'm a hard stick and every Phlebotomist is caring and understanding. I Highly recommend this Quest Team :) Thank You for all that you do For your patients read more

I went to Quest lab on Orangeburg Ave. and checked in as a walk-in with a STAT order from UCSF because their were no available appointments for over a week.. I waited for two hours and once my name came up the lab stopped accepting drop ins.. I have am a transplant patient who did not have a ride to another lab nor could Wait weeks for an appointment, as I tried to explain my issue with the lab technician SHARLENE she yelled at me as well as other patients who were questioning why we were doing old to leave and go someplace else.. I am just So shocked at the Unprofessionalism displayed here at a medical establishment! I l along with other elderly people left in tears as she yelled at me and others saying talk to my boss about !! This was simply awful read more

So I had an appointment this morning for my aunt who's on oxygen 24/7 and she has to use her oxygen. Monica was the one that helped us today and she was super super nice super fast and super efficient she took care of my aunt and she was very very gentle. Also I noticed that she brought the signature pad to my aunt instead of asking my aunt to get up and sign since she was on oxygen. I will always ask for her and I will always come here because of her. Thank you Monica read more

Had an appointment at 9:10am When I arrived, doors we locked and a notice was posted that they were "closed due to an emergency" No one called to let me know or reschedule my appointment. Incredibly inappropriate of you guys. Now im having to waste my time and gas running around. Had to reschedule at another location for 11:10am Ruined my morning, thank you read more

This will be my choice to get blood work or any other lab work for the rest of my pregnancy. I came in at 2 pm. and one other woman was sitting there. I was in shock. They have a new check in system where you check in on the computer. Which is nice, because you get a lot of info out of the way. I was in and out of there super quick. I asked the lady taking my blood if it was always like this, dead at this time. She said yea, everyone makes their appointments earlier in the day so after 2, you are in and out. NICE! I'll be back! read more

Let me start by saying that I have the biggest fear of needles. I came here to get blood drawn for some testing for work. I have spent my entire life avoiding hospitals because of my severe fear of needles and syringes. Walking into this building playing tough like it didn't phase me was easy. Once I got called back I had to lay it all out. I told the nurse who would be doing my blood draw (I really wish I had gotten her name because she was phenomenal) that my heart rate would be a little higher because my anxiety was kicking in and that I was absolutely terrified and hadn't ever had my blood drawn before. She was so quick to explain how fast and easy the process was. She explained to me that it was very common for patients to be scared, and gave me examples of what it may feel like. She was so nurturing! She walked me through everything that she was doing and even had me feel the vein she would be using to help ease my fear of missing a vein and having to go back for another. She did have a second nurse come in to help calm me when she was ready to do it because I got a little resistant. Both of these ladies were so calming and genuinely concerned for my comfort. I can't believe how amazing they were with an adult baby. Scale of 1-10, the pain of this process was not even a 1. You never believe when they say you won't even feel it. But you really don't. No sting. No pinch. No anything. It was so relieving to have had such professional and kind nurses. Thank you a million times over for being so patient with me. The nurses here are Godsend. Make your appointment here. They know exactly what they are doing. read more

Today my 91 year old mom and I had appointments at another Quest location, and upon arrival were told the appointments were cancelled due to maintenance problems. We had fasted and come from one of the outlying communities at 7 in the morning. So we drove to this location and of course did not, have an appointment. Sharlene (Sharline?) greeted us almost immediately and when we explained the situation, she said no worries and immediately went to work to help us. We were in and out quickly and so relieved we didn't have to reschedule or wait for hours. We did get there before 8am. Really appreciated her demeanor and professionalism! read more

Horrible service. I come to quest once a week for the past several months for blood testing and have never had any issues at another location but this one. Came in at 8am and was yelled at around 8:40 by a woman who took my insurance card and said "it's going to be a while because you're a walk-in and they have priority not you in a condescending tone and proceeded to say we're behind. You should make patients aware of that BEFORE they sit here for almost an hour straight then are given attitude because YOU are stressed about your job. Worst location, do not go here!!! read more

Big huge thank you to Marivel and Jacelle (spelling?)! They were amazing with my special needs child today. I gave a heads up letting them know she was going to freak out once she found out the visit was for her so they did everything they could to calm her. They did wonderful explaining things, talking her through it and rewarding her with stickers after. I seriously want to talk to their manager and let them know how great these ladies were. Thank you both so much! read more

Terrible customer/patient service. The employees come in at 8:30 (the time the service suppose to begin) at 8:37 doors r still closed while the crowd of sick, ill and cold patients r waiting outside in the cold morning. The phlebotomiat, Stephanie was soo rude. She told us to go somewhere else or leave if we r not satisfied with the service. The big man is yelling. At 9:05 am there was 23 people in the sml waiting area and they did not call patients. Ww waited 30 minutes and had to leave to other lab to look for better service. They called the first client at 9:08am. When I pointed this out Stephanie the employee there yelled at me that i was rude and nasty. And that i should leave. read more

I set up an appointment for 8:15. I got here at 8:05 to find out it doesn't open till 8:30. It's 9:45 and still not in. This place needs a makeover. Horrible service. read more

Came in and no one was here, I am here for an hour because of the test that I have to do for my pregnancy, so within the 10 minutes that I have been sitting here, 5 people came in. It looks really busy here. But he staff is great , fast and friendly. read more

I have been to several different Quest Diagnostics locations but this was by far my best experience. The mobile app was excellent to schedule my appointment and the check in process on the mobile app was great too. I wasn't in the lobby for more than 3 minutes before I was called back. The technician was very friendly and professional and had me in and out very quickly. I will definitely use this office going forward. read more

The employees here do a fine job but quest does not make it easy to obtain information or talk to a human being on the phone. The automated service sucks. The website is difficult to navigate. What choices do we really have though. Quest needs to be more user-friendly. read more

They are understaffed & it takes forever. Don't even think about doing a walk-in because they treat you like you don't matter.

No matter when you come, even with an appointment be prepared to WAIT! But there is little choice in the matter because there are only 2 in Modesto and the other is no different! On average 30-45 Minute wait time once you begin the "process." read more

Super simple walk in and sign in on the tablet set up. The facility and parking lot were clean. The staff had no negative attitude and were super efficient. Glad they are conveniently located and would recommend this location to anyone. read more

There is no wait! I came later in the afternoon and was seen within 5 minutes. Blood was drawn quickly and painlessly and I was out within another five minutes. read more

45 minute wait with an appointment. I unsure if they are understaffed or just plain slow; either way my very pregnant wife almost gave her urine sample in the lobby. read more

Horrible customer service! I waited two hours and finally left. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Did I say terrible?

This is the best Quest I have been to in Modesto. I was nervous about getting my blood drawn and they were very calm and understanding. Stephanie was my phlebotomist and she was very gentle and communicated everything she was doing. It was definitely the most gentle blood draw I have had. I had an appointment... From check in, insurance stuff, filling out paperwork, waiting, and blood draw, I was in and out in less than twenty minutes. read more

If you have any other lab options do NOT go to Quest! When our insurance changed in January, we were forced to use Quest. The first time my husband & I went in for a blood draw we dropped in at the 1541 Florida Ave location. We were told there would be a wait of about an hour and a half. We waited almost an hour in a standing room only waiting room with people standing out in the hallway, too, and during that time only three people were called in. Seeing that we'd easily be there for three or more hours, we left and tried making an appointment, using the 2222 Orangeburg location which we thought might be less crowded. The tests we needed required 8 hours fasting so a morning appointment was necessary. It was a 10-12 day wait for appointments before 11am. Even with appointments, we still were not taken in until nearly half an hour after our scheduled time. I hate to think what special hell we would be in for had we been there ill, for a blood draw that had to happen the same day! To make matters worse, although I provided them with all my current insurance information, they billed a a company that I was with 10-15 years ago. When I went back in to ask them to please bill the proper insurance, Stephanie told me she couldn't do anything about it, that I'd have to call their main billing office. She then tried to convince me that my doctor's office had input my information into Quest's computer system incorrectly. Well, sorry Stephanie, but my doctor gives me a generic form that I can take to any lab. He had no idea where I was going for the blood work, and he was not my doctor those many years ago when I was with that prior insurance company. Own up to your mistakes. I asked her if she could at least correct the information in their system but she said since I didn't have an appointment that day the computer probably wouldn't save it. It took me a while to get the CSR at their billing office to understand that they billed the wrong insurance company...she kept telling me they billed the company they had on file in the computer!! Beyond exasperating! I have contacted my insurance company and filed a formal complaint that Quest is now the only lab in their network in my area. This could possibly be enough to make me look elsewhere for insurance at open enrollment if I have to keep going to Quest. If I could give them a negative star rating, I would. read more

Beyond SLOW every single time i have come here. Over a 30 min wait in the morning just to pick up a test! Staff member is so rude. No one ever answers the phone if you try calling and a staff member is never at the front desk. read more

We are so happy Mari is back. She is very good with my wife who has veins that are "tricky", they roll, and hide, and just when you think you got a good one it stops giving. Mari does a great draw job and remembers her patients which makes them feel good always happy to see her smiling face :) read more

I was a walk-in and was in and out within 20 minutes. Receptionist was very helpful and friendly and the tech that drew my blood was amazing!! read more

Worst quest ever! Waited 3 hours for blood work. Lady told me an hour wait time and put me two hours late for work. Obviously understaffed. My suggestion make an assortment at another facility. read more

Everyone at this lab is nice and helpful. I have to go have blood drawn all the time and I am in and out. Make an appointment!
