Early scheduled appointments equal decreased wait times. Kiosk check-in system is fast, convenient and user-friendly. Communication with the phlebotomist will help to minimize miscommunication, provide clarification and eliminate unnecessary pokes. You are your best historian, so speak up about your veins, i.e. small, like to peek & retreat, rollover, needle type that has worked in the past such as a 'Butterfly', ecetera. With an appointment, being seen on time is the result, because Quest policy is to provide service to all scheduled appointments prior to servicing walk-ins. Waiting area is sufficient for mobility devices such as wheelchairs , walkers, canes and more. Blood draw area can be a tight squeeze for wheelchairs but the phlebotomists rearrange things to make access. With a scheduled appointment, an experience at Quest has the potential to be optimum. Oh, have insurance card or payment ready at the time of appointment or optionally, input health insurance information under the profile section in the MyQuest system when scheduling appointment. Anything to save time. Time is a priceless commodity. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Reception window - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Sacramento, California

If I could do no star. I would Had a appointment at 8:10 Checked In 7:40 There was no one to ask what's going on and how long wait is. Their window closed their door is locked. Waiting room is full of patients. All checked in on the machine And when asked why no one helping. Very rude and disrespectful response. She said I'm all by myself. And nothing I can help with. But it's seems like this is every day routine (per people that they have come here before) Hope these reviews help improvement read more

The nurses are lovely, but this location is clearly short staffed and they are very overworked. Their customer service is lovely, they are all extremely kind and patient with the amount of rude people I see coming in and out. If you don't have an appointment, go somewhere else. To save you a trip, they typically cannot take anymore patients by noon-2PM because the waiting room is completely full of appointments. read more

This place is absolutely disgusting, when you first walk in the walls are completely stripped down there isn't one piece of art one picture one anything, simply a little kiosk that you check in on. Then you need to sit down in a room full of people in crappy hard chairs. I made an appointment a week in advance and still waited 15 minutes past my appointment time. The older lady whose name is Susan who took my blood was rude, cantankerous and just didn't seem to give a shit about her job. Thank God my total time in the chair getting my blood taken was only a few minutes and I think I only spent about a total of 20 in the entire building which was 19 minutes too long don't book an appointment at this location trust me.!!!!! read more

I had great experience in my appointment, nicole is great and so professional.i recommend

They need to learn customer service, patient need special care and service. Their attitude are awkward with patients. This is the worse quest diagnostic center I have ever seen their behavior they cancel my two appointments the appointment time 11:15 am and I signed in by 11:00 am after long waiting they said "we are closing by 11:30 am) then why you provide schedule, why you are scheduling people all why questions answered rude, rude customer service they well finally they answers to all why questions, find some other quest Diagnostics,No sense read more

More trips to this lab in the past 2+ weeks than I can shake a stick at and when I first experienced them I felt a 5 star was in the mix... However after visit 3 or maybe it's 4 in the past 2 weeks I'm going with the two star rating for now as redemption is always within reach, even for a business.... Desperate to find a lab near our casa as I was already feeling like hell I finally exhausted both Google and Yelp searches and gave in and phoned my health insurance company to see if I had a missed a location. That's when I would learn of this spot and after phoning in to learn of their hours would finally head down to have my test work done.... It's located inside of a massive business complex and on the first floor which makes it rather easy to access once you figure that part out: That it is "Inside" of it and not a free standing building of its own. Personally the way I see it is that by the time the majority of people who are in need of visiting a place of business of this nature, actually have a need, they feel like hell, are sick as hell and just want to find the place, register, exchange the least amount of dialogue as possible with anyone and get in and out and back home where they can rest... If I happen to be the minority who falls into this category then I wear my crown with pride. Here's what I know: ~ The office space is clean with plenty of seating. ~ They do not do ABG's or VBS's here you have to go to a hospital in order to have them done. ~ Once you make it into the back where the actually blood draws are done your in and out lickety split. ~ Come prepared with your written MD orders and insurance card in hand and show up BEFORE 8am if you need to be in and out early in the morning and show up after 2pm if you want to get in and out even faster. ~They do make appointments HOWEVER they DO NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONE EVER.... Only they don't and DO NOT waste your time leaving a message as their recording will tell you your free to do as they will call you back as they WILL NOT... ~The women manning the desk lack in common mannerism and are rather rude especially when their waiting room is at maximum capacity and they cannot keep up. However I personally felt that if the rudest one would have moved to the back to to assist the other one as in yes; just one Phleb drawing blood and left the pleasant female to mann the desk we all would have been much more satisfied from start to finish. ~They CLOSE FOR LUNCH. I find this to be absolutely ridiculous and not at all customer service orientated. Why? Because not every patient is either retired, on permenant disability or otherwise lacking in employment responsibilities meaning that the only time they can get into have their lab needs serviced without taking leave at work to do so is on their lunchtime. Very poor form Quest and quite honestly cheap as all hell. I've noticed over the past 4 years as I've had plenty of bloodwork drawn and the like during this time frame that all lab draw companies seem to have in attempt to save their own overhead expenses cut back to just one most of the time at best two employees who mann the entire lab during normal business operations. Yes that means the poor soul whose working the shift not only has to register the patients, answer phones and then lastly perform the lab work on each and every patient to which I again say: Bad bad and bad form for Quest Diagnostics as the different Quest location I hit before this one earlier in the day did just have the one person. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Curbside pic of this monstrous beautiful red brick all inclusive specialty medical building ;) - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

Worse place to drop off specimens. I've encountered the rudest staff there today. I was going to write the rude staff name but I am not that vain to cause someone to lose their job. I just hope if you read this comment you find a way to change your attitude. Will never go back there. This place opens late and never stays true with their reopening hours. Go to some other branch. read more

Went to this location with no appointment, was told that I would be accepted, the waiting room was empty except one other person. We both waited for a half an hour and they told me they couldn't take me without an appointment after waiting all that time. The other person had an appointment and they stated that they were late so they couldn't uphold it. I walked in with the other person and they were defintely early for the paperwork they had, however they denied them too. Terrible service. read more

Terrible location. I came here for my student drug screen. I called ahead and I was not told about the opportunity to make an appointment. After being directed here by a phone representative, I came during hours. No one was at the front the check me in except the post mates carrier delivering Starbucks. I did self check in and waited my turn. When I got to the front, a woman told me "they don't do those here" they gave me another address. I saw them turn someone else away for the same reason. I tried to find out how come they do not let people know on the phone they said they had no control so I asked who I could call. This must happen to people all the time if it happened to 2 in five minutes. They said I could call corporate but that corporate "has no control". So I asked, "who does" she rudely said she did not know. Bottom line, this staff is more concerned about Starbucks than customer service. They are rude and unprofessional not to mention unhelpful. They could at a very minimum have this information posted or staff the front desk because I had to wait in line to even find out. Waste of an hour off work!!'n read more

Today I went to two different QD locations. This being my second location of the day. I see a trend in their staff. They are very rude and short with clients. At one point the front desk employee was asked what the wait time would be, and her answer was "it's a long time." They also seemed uninformed regarding the labs needed for clients. It is very hard to sit in such a hostile environment. The wait times are extremely long. If you're able to go to another lab, I would recommend you do. The waiting are is very small at the Auburn location, as well. read more

Go to a different Quest if possible. The reception personnel are walking HIPAA violations. My husband and I were sitting in the reception room waiting with about 10 other people when the man at the desk asks loudly, "who's here for blood work and who's here for drug testing" - like everyone wanted to disclose publicly. I mean they HAVE the check in sheets, don't they KNOW who is here for what? Then later a gentleman came in with what looked like a sample and the reception man was reprimanding the patient loudly about the leaked moisture in the bag. Then there was a woman that came in and only wanted to know the cost of a few tests.... they told her that she would have to sign in and wait an hour to simply get pricing because they would have to put her into the computer first. They don't have a price list?!? The wait for a pre employment drug test is on average about an hour. An HOUR to wait to urinate in a cup. The efficiency and lack of professionalism is beyond the pale at this facility. read more

Worst service ever really rude women when my daughter had never had blood drawn and A lady was talking about how confused she was I asked for somebody else to do it and now they're making us sit here and wait even though we had an appointment read more

I had read review about this place but my husband went online made my appt and we were called within 20 mins and we were were all done. Paperwork were fast, I paid and got seen ri read more

This location is open 7AM-4PM with lunch hours they are closed fom 11:30-12:30pm. If you are coming here for a drug screen for pre-employment or random for work, they only perform those from 12:30-3:00 ONLY. From 7-8am the waiting room is practically empty. If you come in for blood work around 10-11:30 without an appointment, you are likely in for extreme wait times as that is the busiest of the morning. Same for when they open just after lunch. Expect lines down the hallway and heavy wait times without an appointment. read more

Not sure why I came back. Slowest quest ever. Sooooo slooooowwww I'm sure they hate their job and don't care. read more

After reading some of the reviews (one was weird and hard to follow - bad grammar and a complainer), I was hesitant to bring my daughter here for a blood draw. But it was the only one with a time slot I needed...so I went with it. It was totally fine! The phlebotomists at the front desk were pleasant and it was fairly fast. Parking was easy and there was a ton of spots. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Front desk. - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Sacramento, California

Oh my gosh, the longest wait time ever to drop off a sample!!!! They need another side for dropping off samples this is a waste of people's time. People don't have all the time in the world to come and sit in the waiting room just to get their name called to drop off a sample! Been here for 1 hour now! And there's barely anybody in here! Went to go talk to the lady in front and she had the ugliest attitude Ever! She didn't even have her name tag on her and she was being very unprofessional!!! She has no customer service! read more

The folks at this location do a great job - when it's open. But it seems to be closed a lot. I had an appointment at this lab for 8 AM this morning. Quest's system asked me to confirm last night, which I did. I get there at 7:45 AM to find a locked door. At 8 am, I decided to call and went to Quest's website for the number. It said the location was closed all week. So Quest's website knew the lab was closed and it couldn't send a text to tell me? Not OK... people have schedules too. Quest wants us to keep our commitments and that's fine, but they need to keep theirs too. I took time off work, fasted, drove to the site. At least I could help another jilted person find an alternate site for some pre-surgery tests. From now on, I'll go to the lab on J Street. read more

After reading reviews, I walked in at 3:40 without an appointment and had 7 vials drawn within 60 seconds - literally. The receptionist typed in my info while my phlebotomist was drawing and returned my insurance card before I was done. In and out in 10 minutes tops! Pleasant phlebotomist, easy with the "pin prick". Suite #103, bottom floor. If you're coming from the main entrance, it's 6th door on the right. read more

Holy hell, I couldn't believe it when I opened the door, an 8x10' waiting room with about 25 people packed inside. 120 min wait when showing up at 12:30 when they "open" for employment drug screening. This has to be one of the worst quests I've ever been to. read more

Appointments not needed said the phone recording. Perfect! I thought. Drug screens for this location are 1230-3 only. Well, I'm within those hours so I went ahead and signed in at 1:05pm. The lady behind the desk said there was about a 30 minute wait. That's fine. Or not, at 2:25 I'm still waiting in the lobby with out a test yet. Worst part is they've taken my ID and paper work and told me not to leave. Well, finally called back for my test at 2:37, competed paperwork, wash, urinalysis, wash, initial, computer signatures and out by 2:45. Summary: make an appointment or set aside two hours. read more

If I didn't have to spend any time in the waiting area, I would have given five stars. The phlebotomist was great and didn't hurt me at all! I had an appointment and I arrived a few minutes early. The tiny waiting area was jam packed and there was no one sitting at the front desk to help me. So I found a chair between two people and waited. About fifteen minutes later, a gentleman finally comes to the front but doesn't seem like he can be bothered. He even ignored me when I first approached him about my appointment. Then he got the phlebotomist to call me back as soon as she was ready. She was great! I wish I knew her name, because I'd go back to her. She was friendly, gentle, and quick. After a couple minutes I was sent on my way. I think most people who visit this office don't have appointments, but if you do have one, make sure it's known! Otherwise they'll assume you don't. read more

Just completed an appointment at this Quest Lab. My appointment was at 8:00am but they didn't call me in until 8:20am because there is only one phlebotomist working at this location. That should be an OHSA violation to only have one person working alone. How about that person fell ill? She has no partner to help her in case of emergencies. This is the second time in a row this location was late to keep the appointment. The first time was due to the bathroom being closed. That was their excuse for the delay. Now, it one person working alone. C'mon Quest Labs, get your shit together! read more

Very quiet place ! New check in technology!!!. You can walk in .. no appointment for regular test!! Just remember to come fasting ( no eating ) b4 the test read more

I signed up for an appointment online for 9:15 and came 15 min early. They called me 9:25 , although there were not many people.

The waiting room is packed no where to sit down lady at desk was on phone running in and out I would never come back here

I just had an incredibly frustrating morning at the Quest office on Auburn Blvd. near Bell. I needed to get in and out of the office as early as possible to get to work, but the earliest available appointment was at 7:45am. (I made the appointment a week in advance.) I reserved the time, but decided to arrive before they opened to be at the front of the line. When the office opened, I was the 3rd person in the office. At the registration kiosk I entered my confirmation number and then went to the woman at the front desk to let her know I had a 7:45 appointment, but would like to get in as a walk-in if it meant I could be seen earlier. She said she would work me into the walk-ins, so I took a seat in the waiting room. When she called the woman who had been behind me in line, I was a little worried but assumed she must have had an appointment for an earlier time. When she called the woman who was #5 in line, I went to her, apologized for being a pain, and told her I was concerned because two women who were behind me in line were seen ahead of me. She told me they were seen before me because my appointment was for later. I responded by saying that I registered before them and reminded her that I asked if I could be seen earlier than the time of my appointment. She said something along the lines of, "Well you signed in as an appointment, not a walk in. But don't worry, you're next." I returned to my seat and waited, and waited, and waited. At 7:45 exactly, the phlebotomist came into the room and called my name. To be fair, the phlebotomist was delightful, professional, and fast, and for that I am grateful. Under different circumstances, the extra 30 minutes wouldn't have been an issue, but because I needed to get to work, because the receptionist said she would work me into the walk-ins, and because of how much Quest emphasizes the advantages of making appointments, I left the office totally frustrated and wishing my Dr. used a different lab. read more

This is the most understaffed and slowest Quest. I don't know why I always end of up at this location but it's always the choice when I do have the draw blood or to do a drug screening. You would think the tasks would be be quick for those 2 things but I always wait up to an hour when I go. Make this place your last choice or have an appointment for this location. read more

I scheduled a covid 19 antibody test today (to see if I possibly could have had the virus last February) and got right in after a few minute wait. They require everyone getting tested to wear a mask, and no one is allowed in the waiting room. Scheduled persons got tested before non-scheduled, and we waited in the hallway until called. The staff was super polite, and the blood draw was quick. read more

Don't waste your time here unless you have two hours to kill. I arrived to do a drug screen and there were 5 people in front of me. It took me two hours to get to pee in a cup that took me less then 4 minutes including signing paper work. WARNING!!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

It would be nice if quest diagnostic give blood draws from your leg or feet last time I was in the refuse to do draws with your feet or leg

I have been to Quest before and this visit pleasantly surprised me. I had been putting off a blood test for 6 months because the last time I went to Quest at a different location I waited for 45 minutes and then had to argue with everyone that worked there to tell them I did not have to fast for this particular test. I asked them to call my Dr, they did not. I asked if I could call my Dr, they would not let me. I asked if they would give me the test without the parts that needed fasting, they wouldn't do that either. So I said okay please just do my allergy test then, I know I'm allergic to a lot of things, my nose runs, I sneeze, I itch, when I eat peanuts my skin peels. They did that and left a huge bruise and when I got the results back it showed I was not allergic to anything. Needless to say this destroyed my trust in Quest for quite a while. The only reason I went back is it the only one my insurance takes. So I went to the one on Auburn. I had an appointment but I missed it. I went anyway figuring I would just sit there with a book. It was a horrible nasty icky cold day and lucky for me nobody wanted to go get their blood taken so they were nice people there and I was in and out in 20 minutes. No bruise yet either. Thank you Auburn Quest! read more

Best experience yet . She found a vein right off the bat and left no bruising and only waited a few minutes. I know if you hospitals that can take some lessons from them. read more

The women working behind the front desk most of the time was completely rude and the hour I spent waiting for a simple urine test two people walked out because of her lack of help. This lab is the worst run I've ever seen. I will never return. read more

Need more staff always 1 or 2 people working. Be prepared to wait 1 or 2 hours maybe longer. I don't get why they have only few staff they should have at least 1 person checking patients in and 2 or 3 people doing labs makes no sense read more

I just witness 1 of the rudest person that work at the front every time someone walk in he swing his bald head, and look at people like they bothering him, they need to put a woman at the front to take your appointment and personal information not this person his super rude and his name is Dave. Never go to this place again read more

I went in and the receptionist ignored my name on the sign in, I was the only one with an appointment, Tensha saw what was going on and she stepped right in and took me right away. She drew my blood, and was perfect at that. I did not even feel the typical pinch she was that good. She was amazing! Thank you Tensha for turning an awful experience into a positive one. Ask for Tensha - excellent at what she does. Thank you! read more

Had a scheduled appointment at 7:15 with one woman ahead of me and didn't get called back until 8... The front desk woman was very obnoctious and rude (don't remember her name) and also she turned down an elderly lady because "her glucose wasn't high enough she needed to fast and come back" anyways I finished my test 4 hours later (only 2 hours are usually required)... Only person in there with a nice attitude and a little respect was a woman named Tanya B which I'm thankful for because it was too early and I was at edge from fasting for 10 hours lol... Just a very slow quest try to get in at a different location if you can! read more
