This is about Quest in general. Had a doctor appointment and was sent upstairs to have some blood drawn. Opened the door and saw 5 people in chairs and 2 people trying to check in with their silly McDonald's kiosk. Since it didn't look very under control I decided to go across to Hahnemann hospital for an x-ray. Got back to Quest about a half hour later and all but one of the people from my first visit were still there plus 2 more trying to check in. Having spent a long time at my doctor's (running 45 minutes late) I didn't want to waste another hour or more trying to get blood drawn.
I remembered there was a Quest office where my previous doctor had been in Spencer so I decided to head out there. I was happy with my decision because there was nobody there and I should be out in 5 minutes. Then, the woman, who had nobody else in sight to service, told me that she could only take people who were patients of the doctors in that office. I'm 72 and in all that time I've never before encountered a business intentionally trying to do LESS business. Too bad Quest seems to be the the blood choice most of us are stuck with. I wish zero stars was an option. read more
