I am a registered nurse, and I occasionally order lab tests to check on my health. To use Quest Diagnostics for blood draws and laboratory tests, customers can either obtain an order from an outside physician, or they can order the tests directly through Quest Diagnostics. Quest Diagnostics offers a variety of tests in the following categories: women, men, digestive, heart, infectious diseases, STDs, and general health. I had an order for a Complete Blood Count (CBC).
Quest Diagnostics accepts walk-in customers, but I highly recommend that customers use Quest Diagnostics's website to make an appointment. I made an appointment for 7:30 AM, which is when this location first opens, and a line of customers was already standing outside on the sidewalk. Because I had an appointment, I was the first customer to be seen, and the other customers had to wait. Please note also that this business currently requires customers to wear a face mask during the pandemic. One other customer did not have a face mask, and I had to give him an extra one that I had in my car.
My total time spent at this business was 10 minutes, and that included standing in line to wait to check in. The phlebotomist was very friendly, efficient, and professional. She scanned my order form, and she checked my name, date of birth, and address. She immediately found my antecubital vein in my arm with her needle, filled and labeled my test tube, and bandaged my arm. She followed infection-control practices, such as wearing a mask and gloves and disinfecting my skin. At the end, she wished me a great day. read more
