    Normally I'd never write a review for LabCorp, but years of dealing with their condescending…read moreemployees sent my temper boiling over this afternoon. In terms of speed of service, these guys have typically always been fine, in my experience. I've never made an appointment, have always been a walk-in, and am seen almost immediately. Very little wait time. No issue with cleanliness, either. The issue is, 100%, the disgruntled jerks they seem to exclusively hire. Whoever is behind the counter at any given time (usually an older white woman with glasses) is never, ever pleasant. Not even decent. Just these grumbling, unhappy people who foist their bad day -- which seems to be every day -- onto patients. And I get it -- just sitting in there this afternoon you had one guy who comes in, obliviously crashes right into the table next to the door, and doesn't move it back, and a patient who had to be told twice which room to go into. People don't listen and they have rotten attitudes. But unless they've demonstrated rudeness or stupidity, there's no reason to treat people poorly. So when I walked up this afternoon and saw a sign that read the following, I read it as, "this place is appointment-only except during a short period in the morning": "Effective 9/25 until further notice: Due to unforeseen event [typo on their part], San Leandro location will be appointment only with accepting walk-ins when time permits from 7:00-8:30 am." I'm an English major and a content marketer, meaning, I write for a living. Anyone with a basic grasp of English would likely read this as I stated above: appointment-only location except during this short window in the morning, if time permits. Well apparently their phlebotomist, the middle-aged Asian woman who always wears her hair in a ponytail, thinks their poor, typo-riddled writing is so sublime that confusion on my part was just me being either too lazy or stupid to read the whole sign. Because when I asked her if they're appointment-only, she snidely remarked that if I'd read the whole sign, I'd see that they're only appointment-only in the morning. Apparently, what they meant to write was that they're appointment-only from 7:00-8:30 am, with the ability to squeeze in walk-ins during that window only as time permits. Not hard to write unless you're more focused on making everyone around you as miserable as you. I was extremely close to reading the phlebotomist the riot act, but I don't need to get myself banned from a LabCorp so close to my house, which I need regularly. So I just made sure to give her back her attitude in spades the entire visit and wasn't nearly as nice to her as I usually am. She seemed to be picking up what I was putting down because she tried to be nicer in the end. Way too late to play that game with me.

    Sign on door states By Appointment Only or Drop off. No appointments found on website. Came here…read morebecause website stated walk ins welcome. They should update website or take sign off door if no longer applies.

    Labcorp - No, what you think this sign means isn't actually what it means, per the snotty phlebotomist.

    Jennifer was great and her assistant I didn't get his name but he was a Latino with a half shaved…read morehead with a black pony tail he was excellent drawing blood! It was a a small waiting room and it was pretty confusing where to find this quest. Out of sheer luck I asked the pharmacy if they knew where Quest was and sure enough it was in the same building around the corner hall 111 Quest! I went with an appointment at 9:45am on a Thursday I could have been in and out but I waited to have my blood drawn laying down so I waited 10 mins for the bed since there's only one. So I was out at 10:00am! They had a very clean waiting room and excellent staff! Well done Quest so happy I went with my gut and went to my closest Quest! Please read my review and don't waste your time with negative feed! Pros Clean waiting room & patient rooms Appointment is a must in my book but there was 3 people without an appointment in line Gentle staff Cons Kinda confusing on where to go since there's no sign or directions but I'll post pictures so you won't get lost ***It's across the Starbucks and it's a huge building that says pharmacy that's the building Quest is number 111room go down the hall if you get lost ask the pharmacy

    This is by far the worst Quest Diagnostics location I have visited. I attempted to schedule an…read moreappointment but was informed they were fully booked for the next month. Since walk-ins were listed as an option, I arrived at 1:30 PM. The check-in kiosk indicated there was only one person ahead of me, which I did not mind. However, there was no staff available to assist with the check-in process. The check-in area consists of a very small, windowless room with no access to speak to an actual staff member. This made the process especially difficult for several patients--mostly older individuals--who were not familiar with the technology and were visibly confused. I found myself assisting them as if I were an employee. I waited until 3:30 PM with no update. At that point, a staff member finally came out and informed us that walk-ins are not accepted after 2:00 PM and that anyone there for a walk-in could leave. This policy was never posted or communicated, which resulted in a significant waste of time. I explained that I had arrived before 2:00 PM, but was told I could stay until 4:00 PM to see if someone did not show for their appointment--though it was "more than likely" I would not be seen. The interaction was rude and unprofessional. Clear signage, staff presence, and better communication could have prevented this situation entirely. If it were possible, I would give this location zero stars.
