The first time I went (a few months ago) it was fine. I made my appointment; when I arrived I was greeted in a professional way by a friendly Employee at the front desk who checked me in courteously, and I got taken care of fairly promptly.
The next time (around a month later, perhaps), after having made my appointment I arrived there within 5-10 minutes of the assigned time but no one was at the front desk so I patiently waited. A short while later, a staffer opened the door to the waiting room, I told her I was there to check in for my test and was waiting for the receptionist. She pointed to a machine in the lobby, said they no longer employ a receptionist, and told me to use it to check in; this required me to take the time to remove my drivers license from my wallet & place it on a tray under a scanner, but due to the tray being tilted my license fell to the floor & I had to retrieve it to try again; the machine then (or before the license ... not sure now) needed to scan a QR code from my phone, so i had to search for where it was and position it under the scanner -- whereupon the machine said I had no appointment. I then waited again for Staffer to open the door to the lobby and told her I DID have an appointment and needed technical help using their machine. She then tried and it again said no appointment. I then showed her the email on my phone confirming my appointment and she told me (with a "gotcha" tone of voice and facial expression) that appointments automatically get deleted from their system if the client didn't check in within 10 min of the assigned time (which information, of course, wasn't in the email confirmation they'd sent me). I then pointed out that (as I'd told the Staff originally) that when I arrived I waited for the receptionist as there as NO sign informing patients of their decision not to employ a receptionist any more; i.e., I *had* arrived prior to their (unannounced, un-noticed) cut-off time. Subsequently, she and the Manager told me I would have to wait until all the patients with appointments got taken care of. Thereafter, Manager and Staff continually treated me in an extremely rude and unprofessional manner.
After an hour waiting (i.e., an hour after my assigned appointment) a Staffer called a name that sounded like mine, and I followed her into her cubicle, whereupon she said she'd called someone else's name and tried to get me to go back into the waiting room. But, having learned my "sit-in" skills at Cornell in the Viet-Nam War era, I declined her "invitation" to go back to the waiting room and ultimately got my test (which they said they would mark as "priority" because it was required for a medical procedure, but they didn't do that, which is a whole 'nuther story, LOL).
BOTTOM LINE: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!
Instead, I recommend Premium Health, which has a number of test sites including one conveniently located in Santa Clara, where you can get promptly taken care of *with or without* an appointment, AND you get the results within 16 hours, including on weekends! read more
