Labcorp

"I went in on a Saturday as a walk-in. I arrived at 7:40 and was out by 9:30. The waiting room was full and while the workers were efficient with check-in and care, this being the only Labcorp open on a Saturday in the peninsula means you can expect a wait. Arrive as early, bring a book, snacks, and water. Parking is tricky in this area, there’s a large construction projection going on next to the building. Service was professional and friendly. It would make everyone’s lives easier if labcorp had more labs open on Saturday (the demand is there) but that’s on the company, not the receptionists and technicians who are doing their best."

"This receptionist at 9:30 AM February 14 2024 was unhelpful, careless, entitled and unprofessional. I was just dropping off specimen test knits that his colleague gave me a few days ago. His response: you cannot drop off specimen test knits without a doctor's order in the system. I tried to argue that another receptionist found it in the system a few days ago, and offered to show it to him on my phone. He just kept repeating he couldn't accept it without a doctor's order. I asked him if samples would be valid in a few days if my doctor resent her order. His response still: you cannot drop off specimen test knits without a doctor's order in the system. When I left, I was so angry and smashed their testing knits into the trashcan. Wasted all my time doing the test and driving here."

"Maria Dwyer was amazing! Painless and fast blood draw! Did a walk in and was out in an hour even with a full waiting room."

"If you don't have an appointment (and they're hard to get), expect to wait for hours, especially on Saturdays because this is the only location open. That said, the folks working at this LabCorp get a bad rap based on other reviews, and I'm not sure why. We found they were very lovely, despite the overwhelming number of people constantly flowing into the waiting room. Marta at the intake desk was the absolute best - kind, understanding, funny, always had a smile. And Clay who drew the bloodwork was just as wonderful - and very thorough too (which I appreciated and can't say has been my experience with other phlebotomists). We really felt we were in such good hands. Thank you, Marta and Clay!"

"Note this Labcorp's hours, at least as of 8/17/22. This Labcorp gets very, very crowded and appointments are weeks to a month out. I've had to come here three times in the last three weeks without an appointment and have a few tips: 1) do not come at 7am unless you have an appointment. This is their busiest time and there are always 15-20 people here first thing. 2) if you don't have an appointment try coming when they open after lunch at 12pm. I just tried this and only waited 20 minutes. But I also tried this on a Monday and had to wait 1.5 hours so it honestly just depends on the day. Bring a book and summon all of the patience you can. 3) have your paperwork ready/be sure your doctor sent it to Labcorp. Don't waste their time by not having your paperwork. And be kind to the staff and phlebotomists. It's not their fault that Labcorp only has a few offices on the peninsula. The majority of the phlebotomists I've had here are lovely and fast. I did have one that stood there texting for a solid 5 minutes before taking my blood so that was a miss. Long story short, prepare for the worst and be patient."
