    I had a great experience at Quest on Alameda! Even though I wasn't able to make an appointment due…read moreto availability, I came in as a walk-in and was placed on the standby list. Yes, I had to wait a little (as expected), but it was worth it. Rosa, my phlebotomist, was extremely quick, professional, and kind. I'm so thankful for her and the whole Burbank Alameda team--they made the experience smooth and stress-free! Oh, and just a tip--there isn't any front desk staff here. Instead, there are three kiosks where you simply scan your driver's license and upload your insurance. It was extremely easy and made the check-in process very straightforward.

    If you have an extra hour or two (or four, five or six!) to get a 5-minute blood draw procedure…read morethen Quest is the place for you! The wait times are simply UNBELIEVABLE. The people who own Quest must be wildly out of touch to think that this kind of dysfunction is appropriate. Here are a few survival tips: 1. Make an appointment. That way you might only maybe wait 1-2 hours. Yes, seriously. 2. Get up and stretch every half hour or your back will ache like hell. 3. Bring water. Whatever you do, do NOT get up and leave to get water and return in 5 minutes because if inexplicably call your name while you're not in the room, you will lose your place in line and .... they.... do ... not ..... care. 4. Bring snacks or be prepared for your blood sugar to take dive in about hour 3 of the marathon wait. 5. Be nice to the poor, overworked, abused staff who are getting hit from all sides. That is if you actually see them. The "reception" desk is closed and you handle checkin courtesy of some ipad looking things at the front. All jokes aside, this is NOT how healthCARE should be. It is so incredibly sad that Quest thinks that their patients have NOTHING BETTER to do and have no concept of CARING for their patients - most of whom are sick, and some are scared and stressed and Quest just adds to the misery. It's shocking they would let a company function like this. Saying that, the staff did their best and with such a horrible working environment, I'm impressed with their decorum. I want to make it crystal clear that the person who took my blood was friendly and efficient. The woman who came out about every 20-30 minutes to explain to everyone they would be there for hours was pleasant enough. It's the whole concept of Quest's customer service that needs a full blown overhaul, not the people. They were doing the best they could under pretty tough circumstances. THIS PLACE IS REALLY OUT OF SYNC WITH THE NOTION OF CARING FOR THEIR PATIENTS. SAD!

    I have been to this particular Laboratory few times over the years, However, this past 2 years I…read morehave been going to this lab a little more frequently than I used to. Nothing major or serious, just need to do blood count/drawn to maintain good health. Especially when you get to be a certain age. Yesterday, I went in at 4pm knowing that the last blood drawn was at 4:30pm and 30 minutes before their closing time. Whenever I have gone to this facility, I have NEVER had any bad, problems or issues with the staff. Whether it was dropping off a sample of urine/stool or drawing blood. Rosario drew my blood in less than 60 seconds. They are quick to admit, sign up is fast, quick like a morning/evening breeze, staff are very friendly, professional and helpful. By the time you want to sit down, they already text you and call your name to go in and get the work done. No complaints whatsoever. Bonus: close to my home!:-) Lab is BIG, CLEAN, with nice large windows and very bright inside. They are also quick to update your my chart/file by submitting your information on line. As we all know, certain responsibilities come with it. I need to pay $30 out of pocket for my copay. The remaining balance is handled by my insurance company. They have 2 bathrooms for men and for women with two stalls. Clean and sanitized. Underground parking with plenty of spaces and 2 elevators. That's all for now until my next visit. Thank you UCLA, and employees of the laboratory!!

    Busy mornings they're usually fully staffed. The phlebotomists are all great and I'm a hard stick…read morewith tiny veins, developed scar tissue because of only being able to use one arm for draw yet they manage to draw blood successfully every time. Their waiting room is big but there's also another waiting area outside the door (for another UCLA clinic) however if the waiting room for the lab is at capacity there are more seats outside. Parking lot can be a challenge. Limited parking can get full pretty quickly. There are usually parking attendants to guide you or let you know there's no spots left.

    This is a medical establishment in a country with a scam health care system and not enough…read moreproviders. It is unpleasant and everyone in there is cranky and tired. The Experience is much more similar to a 5 hour plane ride on a budget airline than visiting the spa. For a lot of people, paying $60 to have a labcorp rep come to your house and take blood is worth it. For the rest of us, this is the life hack: -take a something to distract you like a book, iPad, or headphones. Also a jacket (plane ride) -Expect delays. Remember this is like a budget airline. -wait time is based off of how many people are ahead of you in line. Most people check in and get frustrated when they're told there's a 4 hour wait, so they leave. This means those who stay are seen in 1 hour, since 6 out of 8 people left. So just be patient. Plane will land eventually. -it used to be advised to come when they open. But now, so many people come when they open that if you come when they open you will have to wait 2 hours. If you come in around 8:30 or 9 am, you have a one hour wait time. -best course of action is to make an appointment ahead of time. You can also check other labcorp locations to find a time that works for you. Second best is to check-in online before you arrive. But don't push it by signing in and showing up hours later bc if they call you are you are not there, they will skip you and you lose your turn. (Like missing your flight)

    There's a phlebotomist here that clearly needs some reprimanding and re-education. She stabbed me…read morein an unusually painful manner then flatly stated that she needed to draw again. Annoyed and in pain, I asked her why. She rudely tried to shift the blame onto my "weak" veins when she could very well be at fault. Practically snarling at me while giving me full attitude. Her defensive attitude makes me think she's prone to mistakes lol. I did not need that while already in enough pain from my medical condition. Never had a single issue of this kind in my life and I'm considered a very easy draw, btw. Learn some basic empathy or stay away from the medical field, dumbf_ck b_tch.
