I cannot understand the 3 star rating! I try to go to this lab whenever possible. I think they are the best, mostly bc of Rona who runs the place all on her own. I just wrote an email AND a survey on quest website about her, which I'll copy below. I almost don't want to write this yelp review bc I don't want the lineups to go up (there is rarely a long wait here). But, I want to be sure quest keeps this location open, so here I am yelping it!
"I just want to share direct feedback, hoping it will get to a supervisor or manager, about what a great experience I have had over and over again with Rona at this location. I filled out the survey and have copied my personal comments below. I hope she will receive a direct commendation or have this review published in the quest newsletter. She is a star, hang on to her!
"I always try to go this patient service center. Rona is amazing. She is efficient, intelligent, kind, patient, accurate, and very fast. I often come to her with complicated, non-routine testing requested by my out of state doctor, who gives general test names (not quest lab codes) and Rona is able to find the correct Quest code/test for me. I have had several other quest centers get the tests wrong, so I learned the hard way that just bc the doctor writes down the test name does not mean the proper test gets done! Therefore I always try to go to Rona and the 450 Sutter patient center.
One day I went in with an appointment close to closing time. I had LOT of complicated and important tests. I thought I had helped her out by getting cpt codes from the drs office for the tests. Then I found out that these are only good for insurance, and do not help her at all, she needs the QUEST "test codes". So she stayed overtime with me for over an hour figuring these out! And longer, of course, getting the tests processed. I was so grateful bc I had just gotten a positive pregnancy test and bec of several health conditions of mine (clotting, autoimmune, other) I am at risk for repeated miscarriages, and these were tests that were essential to be done ASAP to help me keep this pregnancy (I've lost 4 before being diagnosed.) Rona came through for me again and at personal sacrifice to herself. Of course, the complicated tests were accurately coded and run and the dr was happy and said the results suited her needs.
There is rarely a wait - I rarely even make an appt. Mostly, I think, bc Rona is so efficient and fast. She is super professional and athough she is always working the place alone she never gets flustered or behind. I go to quest locations all over northern california and Rona and this location is far and away the best I've ever experienced. For example, sometimes I have to go to the 490 Post location and if the person there is working alone, they are usually behind and acting overwhelmed, or there is an intern and so things take longer, or there is simply what seems like social chatting going on in the hallway while people wait in the waiting room or exam room. There is NONE of that with Rona at VXB 450 Sutter - she is ON her GAME!
I recommend this location to everyone I talk to.
Kudos to Rona and 450 Sutter quest location!" read more
