if i can ask for a specific person to do my blood work I would definitely ask for Kathy. She was super sweet, and has a very good arm to draw blood, I didn't even feel it! read more

I visited for a routine blood test and Irais was my phlebotomist. She was fantastic. Very courteous and friendly and listened to my needs. The office runs efficiently. Best to have an appointment as the wait time can be long without one. I've never waited more than 5 minutes. Irais is new to the facility - what a great asset to the company. read more

My husband and I wanted to show our appreciation to Junior, who was amazing with our 2 year old Daughter. We needed to get blood work done for her and he went above and beyond making her and us feel safe and comfortable. You can tell he genuinely cares for his patients and we're very thankful for all his help. Thank you, Junior! We highly recommend this location. read more

I used to be able to get my mom in same day. Now they put you in a sterile lobby, no receptionist, everything automated and you check in at a kiosk. There was one person ahead of her when we checked in, and they still weren't able to see us within an hour. We left. W Since we are there for over an hour, we know that there wasn't anyone in the testing area for extended periods of time. It seems as though they make 'walk ins' wait intentionally, probably to disused people from not making an appointment. It's a terrible model. Next time I'll go to Lab Corp where you can talk to an actual person, and the business model is person-centered, which Quest Diagnostic is definitely not read more

Quest Diagnostics - This is the sterile lobby. - Laboratory Testing Near Me - San Pedro, California

This place is terrible you can not call there and talk to anyone your results take forever to get any other questions diagnostics I've had my results in 3-4 days I'm on day 12 of still waiting for my results can not get a person on the phone to find out what the hold up is read more

This is such a great place and the staff are very helpful. The last time I went Sal helped me and he was kind and professional. I look forward to going weekly to get my blood work done with such great staff. Thank you read more

I arrived at 10:58am for my 11am appointment only to find out that there were several people who had appointments at 10:40am that are still in the waiting room. They clearly need to minimize the number of appointments for each time-slot if they cannot keep up with the volume of appointments. read more

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. My sons appointment was scheduled @11:30am Checked in a couple mins prior,notice the waiting room was extremely small so as we checked in with the kiosk we pressed the option to please notify by calling or texting us because we'd be waiting outside. We waited for an amount of 40 mins. In between those 40 mins we checked in twice to see what the hold up was, we noticed again on the tv screen that our son's appointment time had changed to 11:40?? We were confused but still waited to be called we continued to wait outside in the lobby. Couple more mins went by received no call or text from them we walked over to the door to realize they had closed for their lunch. I knocked and called continuously because they completely locked us out without COMMUNICATION. After knocking for a while feeling ignored & frustrated A nurse comes out the last door I explain to her RESPECTFULLY our situation and how long we've been waiting she then asks for my sons name and claims to have called us & texted the phone number we put down which was my husbands I explained to her that we didn't receive no message or notification from them She proceeds to say that she can check her system and I reply with "yes please just check" The nurse responded to me with "well that attitude isn't going to get you any help" I told her again to please just check, ignoring her UNNECESSARY comment. The nurse continues to repeat her self arguing with me , a Frustrated & concerned mother who just wants to help her 1 years old son draw some blood out. Eventually before slamming the door on us she says "I'm not going To be helping you guys at all". Didn't catch the nurses name but she has disgusting black eye liner & dead straighten black hair to her shoulders and a white coat I've tried calling the office around 1:10 & 1:20 to make my complaints to the manager or talk to someone about the situation but they are apparently still on lunch even though the flyer outside their office says 12-1. Like I said ABSOLUTELY AWFUL...its one thing to backed up with patients, totally understandable , but it's all about communicating with your patients and letting them know what's going on I would've been totally fine with a reschedule if they would've informed us instead of locking us out and lying about calling us in. Please do better Quest diagnostics! read more

I was fasting for blood work with an appointment at 10am There is no one to greet you and I was signed in by a computer system. When the technician came out I said hello and she did not respond. She took me to room #3 and told me that my name was misspelled and that the system was missing my order. She told me to come back as a walk in with my doctor's paperwork which I left at home. I came back and signed in along two other people. She stormed into the room multiple times screaming that she was too busy to take us in. She finished her appointments at 11:40 am and disappeared until 12 pm when her lunch hour began. She kicked us out of the facility into a cold hallway. When she came back, she continue to ignore us and call in whoever was coming in. When she took about four people she told us to sign in again. This was my THIRD time signing in. I even had to go in to help her translate for someone else. In addition, I had to help an elderly man sign in because there was no one to help him. She drew my blood at 2:15pm and asked me if I was fasting! I am 104lbs and I felt very dizzy and exhausted and had to drive back home after four hours and fifteen minutes of hell. She purposely flipped her name tag but we all know who you are and what you do to torture patients. You do not know what people go through in their lives and you are the most unprofessional and unpleasant human being I have ever encountered in the medical field. This appointment should have taken no more than ten minutes. read more

Parking is limited, the elevator is rough and it looks like it is being held together by tape. There is no staff to answer questions in the waiting room. When you do get to the back, there is only one phlebotomist to take blood and that is all they do. There is no one there to assist you or the phlebotomist whatsoever with the logistics of a squirmy child or with the person you are caring for, no matter your situation. If anything, they only make the situation more difficult by enforcing illogical 'rules'. Not only did I have to take my disabled child that cannot walk or sit without assistance out of her assistive equipment because it did not meet their standards, but I had to wrangle her in their basic chair and hold all of her limbs still. They had no stint or any other supportive supplies to help keep a squirmy child still enough to draw blood. A few simple items, provided by Quest or the quick support of another tech would have made blood draw a success today. As it was, my child was poked twice and we had to leave without completing our labs. If you are handicapped, disabled, a caretaker, a single parent with a fussy child or have any situation that requires extra care and effort, I would avoid this place completely.. or come prepared to do everything yourself, and don't expect any accommodations or standard supplies that you would find somewhere else, like a hospital or another diagnostic lab you may have visited in the past. They don't even have numbing wipes for the little kids. This is a bare bones, money making operation. Plain and simple. read more

There's a Lady by the name of Nicole who was so friendly there. I had blood drawn, there's times in the past I get stuck more than once. However, Nicole got it on the first shot. I had the best of care there. read more

I've been there several years ago and my experience was wonderful. Now searching for a lab to do some tests I was looking at the reviews and at first was discouraged by the amount of negative reviews but after more googling figured out that apparently, it is normal for a lab. I guess people don't leave good reviews for a lab that often. I went to Quest Diagnostic in San Pedro one more time and everything was excellent. I made an appointment before coming in. The place is relatively busy so I can see how walk-ins can take more time. I went through a quick self check-in process (don't forget your ID, you'll need it) and was invited inside right at my appointment time. The nurse was superb, very friendly and very professional. I barely felt needle and after the blood draw discarded the bandage in about 20 min. The only reminder of the blood draw was a tiny red dot on my arm. Great service once again. Thank you, Quest Diagnostics! read more

Located on the second floor. You need an appointment in order to get served. You check in on your phone to let them know you are here. And you walk in and check in and they bring you in right away. Needed to get some blood work done. Needles aren't always fun. But in order to read what's going on the inside of your body it must be done. Took around 5 minutes, then they bandage you up and sent your way. There is parking out front but very minimal. Additional parking is in the back. There is plenty of parking. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend read more

NEGATIVE 10 STARS, REPEAT NEGATIVE 10 STARS, I booked an appointment yesterday and showed them the confirmation on my phone and they said it wasn't in their system. Because of this I asked could you help me make an appointment so I wouldn't have to go through this again but they refused, said they don't do that and handed me a piece of paper to schedule another appointment that had been copied so much that you couldn't read the information on the paper. They're probably over worked and under paid, but that's no excuse for bad service... repeat, NEGATIVE 10 STARS, REPEAT NEGATIVE 10 STARS read more

Super quick and super easy. I had an appointment and within a minute of me finishing the check in I was called back. I had Andi take my blood and she was amazing. Super friendly and I never even felt the needle go in. The whole process took no more then 10 minutes from when I walked in the door. Great service, we need more Andi's in the medical field. read more

Nicole I think her name is. She has short curly hair heavy set. She is so very rude. If she doesn't like her job she should find a different profession. And she talks about patients to other co workers in the break room and I am still standing in the office. She is very unprofessional. How is she still there? And if I get the survey I will give you a very very bad review. read more

Extreme bad customer service. Not helpful even if they are not busy they will not see you. If you have appointment and you come early and they can see you because there is no one, they still won't see you until your appointment time. Different occasion Came in at 3:30 pm. They close at 4pm. No one was there they still did not take me because in case an appointment came in. Staff is the worst in customer service and when you call their main phone number for complaints they are also very unhelpful and they don't even bother to put in complaint. read more

Make sure if you have more than one appointment (for example more than one child) use different phone numbers. It was a mess waiting around for different times due to having to schedule an appointment as a walk-in. I scheduled these appointments two weeks ago. Only had an iPad to log in at the office and the staff was no help very dry. I talked to a representative over the phone and due to me adding the same phone number they were not able to pull up other appointments. read more

i got sent to do my blood work done here . i called the number my doc provided me with , no answer i looked up the place online and it had the same number . my paper said walks ins are accepted and since im close by i decided to go check it out or if they can help me make an app. i walk in the device says no walks ins, the window was closed so i knocked to see if their was someone to help me. a very unwelcoming employee woman came out trash talked me . totally not what i expected. keep in mind i am pregnant and i had my daughter with me .i was so shocked / mad because that is not how people should be treated . i came in happly and she ruined my whole day and infront of my little girl . i asked her her name and a manager and she just slammed the door, still cant believe it . so please be ready to walk into that enviroment before you go . read more

I went to Quest yesterday and I left so upset. There were several elderly patients who don't know how to use the electronic check in method and NO ONE was helping. Me and another patient took the initiative to help because the employees would not. I understand they are busy but that seems like elderly discrimination to me. Especially since the majority of patients they see are probably elderly who have to come in for regular blood work. They were rude and condescending. I even heard an employee say "F**k" in response to an interaction with a patient. Secondly, I was asked to go to a room where my blood was drawn and then I had to step out for a urine test and told to return the specimen to the room I was originally at. By the time I returned there was already another patient there. Isn't this a violation of my privacy???? I am going to ask my doctor to never send me here for blood work again. read more

Zero stars! This place is horrible! The staff is rude and inconsiderate. It clearly states on website that you can walk in but that's a lie. My appointment was at 10:40 but did not take me back til 11:22 on purpose because I didn't have my orders handy, i had them on my phone with a barcode for them to scan but the girl was so rude to me and said she needs the actual paper so I had to print them out for her and she took everyone in front of me so I wait. I was the last one to go back smh Labcorp doesn't make it a big deal if you don't have paper as long as you have the order, and labcorp takes walkins, they also have friendly staff!!! read more

There were 2 people in line - the next time for a blood test was a 2 hour wait. see you later quest! read more

This place is clean. I must say the workers here are rude and very unfriendly. Destiny was helping my husband. I tried to do small talk she wasn't having it. Didn't smile no eye contact. I asked her how long she been working her she said a while. Short and to the point. These days and times a friendly smile and kindness goes along ways. I've been an RN over 20yrs and working with people who really needs care and my attitude shows I really do care! read more

I had a really great experience here. The staff was amazing! I had two orders from two different doctors. One of them did not have the appropriate coding, so they could not proceed with it. They went ahead and take my blood samples for the first order. They had stayed late when they were supposed to close for lunch then told me to come back after lunch. I even got a good recommendation of where I could go eat while I waited. I came back and it was packed with walk-ins. I didn't wait too long, since I had been there for a bit before. The gentleman at the front desk jumped through SO many hoops coordinating with the office that did not have the correct coding. Multi-tasking to keep the queue moving. After about 10 minutes on the phone, he got everything they needed so that I could proceed with the next panel. All of this so I wouldn't have to come back the next day. The bedside manner was great. She kept me talking and it didn't hurt either time when she took my blood. She got the vein perfectly and I didn't have a bruise or anything after. Just a small puncture mark on both arms. Thank you both so much for your consideration and wonderful service! I owe you a large Hawaiian pizza and six pack of IPAs! Thank you for reading my review:-) read more

The staff at this facility is completely bottom of the barrel. Not only are they extremely rude and under qualified to be handling people's MEDICAL needs... but they're unorganized, inefficient, and it makes sense when you see what kind of crowd is inside. There's no structure and the place runs like a free for all. I do not suggest going here if you care about yourself. There's no standard to work at this place and you're subjected to transients they claim as patients in the hallways outside. On my final way out of this trash can of a facility, some bum threatened to assault me because she said "you almost hit me with the door" when she was half way down the hallway at the time. The whole place is a complete joke and I wouldn't waste your time read more

First red flag was that the female phlebotomist had LONG ACRYLIC NAILS. As someone who works in healthcare myself that is a big NO. Second, I believe the nails and the skills of the phlebotomist affected the way she drew vials of my blood. As each vial was changed, she would shove it in and bump the needle in my skin. As the vials would fill, the phlebotomist was looking away and thus, would allow the needle to push and move to the left side of my arm where she was leaning on. Never had a bruise or soreness from a blood test before until now. Phlebotomist needs more training and to comply to the health care hygiene policy. read more

This is absolutely the worst location with the worst service and attitude. I came on time for my appointment and waited while the patient in front of me entered his information multiple times because the system couldn't locate his appointment. I checked in and was called a few minutes later only to be told they couldn't find my doctor's orders. I went back out to the waiting room and called the doctor' office to fax the orders as the lab requested. They did so while I was still on the phone. When I told the lab tech, she said nothing showed up and a fax could take 30 minutes. As I awaited, another confrontation with a patient occurred in which they refused to take a patient in for her scheduled appointment, accusing her of being late (she wasn't). Then they said they couldn't access her doctor's orders on their computer and that she had to have printed orders! She left in frustration. None of the other locations operated in this way. My usual location didn't have available appointments. I don't ever want to return to this location! read more

the most professional and skilled employees, highly recommended it's worth the wait!!

First time going to the San Pedro Quest Diagnostics. I arrived 15 min prior to my scheduled appointment and there was no seating, standing room only. There's only about 10 chairs to sit in the waiting area. Someone even chose to sit on the floor! The restroom where you leave your sample was not in acceptable condition either. Previously, I've been to the Quest in Rolling Hills which has ample seating. It's worth the extra 10 minute drive to go to the other location. However, I had a very nice phlebotomist, Nicole. She was professional and pleasant and she called me at my scheduled appointment time. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Quest Diagnostics restroom - Laboratory Testing Near Me - San Pedro, California

See all

They don't have clear instructions on how to sign in and get exasperated for no reason to quickly. Rose Marie the receptionist does not know how to speak with costumers and is a little rude. The thing is that it does not have to be this way, the place was empty and they could have taken a little longer to try and help a costumer. This is the second time this happened, not coming back. read more

This experience was better then we expected. My son was in need of a fast turnaround for labs and this was the only Quest location with appt openings. He made appt last night for this afternoon, plenty of afternoon appointments to choice from. The reviews didn't look extremely promising but no problem and he was in and out in about 30 minutes. Maybe it was a fluke but he said no one was in the wait area,for a 2pm appt! Plenty of parking too. Happily surprised! read more

It smells awful in the waiting area. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but my guess is cigarettes and possibly cat urine? Im not incredibly sure, but its pretty funky. The parking is horrendous and there is 1 very very slow elevator, i couldn't seem to have find the stairs either. If you can go to ANY other location, i would strongly suggest doing so. I am sure to take that advice! read more

Made an appointment for Thursday 8:45am. I walked in and only one other person was waiting. Total time was 10 minutes and I was done. The phlebotomist was very friendly and quick. I like her because we discovered that we share a love of donuts. Make an appointment! I suggest middle of the week and early in the morning to avoid any wait times. read more

An awful place to be sent for pre-employment drug screening. No parking. They don't do UAs until after 10. The waiting area is smelly and dark and completely full of people. Their online system does not work. Their 800 number does not work. I asked the front desk lady if she could help me schedule the next available appointment. She practically bit my head off. 'NO YOU MUST USE THE 877 NUMBER OR THE ONLINE APPT SYSTEM. I CANNOT AND WILL NOT HELP YOU." Geez what a grouch. She also chewed out the customer in front of me and the one after. A fellow in the waiting room said that now "they will surely cause your test to fail, don't come back after pissing them off. I later found the other Quest Diagnostics locations are much more helpful and nice. read more

We got lost and showed up late. The lady at the help desk yelled at us and the man before us. I was very disappointed with how it was going.

First time here and I must say that I have nothing negative to say. Service was fast! I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews but I definitely recommend this place for all blood tests (lol). Make an appointment, at least this is what I did and let me tell you - I was in and out within 10 min. Keep in mind my appointment was in the afternoon. Peace! read more

Love it. The ladies are super sweet and the wait time is usually short. Short curly hair knows how to draw blood

I would suggest you go to a different location. The receptionist is not friendly at all. I came for a drug screen, walked in with my 4 year old, checked in and waited 35 minutes for the receptionist to tell me that I couldn't have my child with me. She saw me walk in with her and could have told me then instead of making me wait. I tried to ask her a couple of questions and she would answer without letting me finish - so she obviously wasn't listening to my question. Not once did she smile - if you can't at least force a smile then you should not be the first face a customer sees when they walk in. read more

Good experience. Had an appointment and waited about five minutes. Clean, quiet, easy parking. Nice lady technician. Smiled. Go.

Tried to make a reservation over the phone and got stuck in a phone tree loop. Never made an appointment, so decided to try walk-in. Line was long and staff was slow! After 20 minutes, they made it through 1 of 8 people in front of me. Said screw it and walked out. Would not recommend this place. read more
