"Took our 2 year old here for a blood draw. Nurse Tammy did awesome! Got her blood drawn very quickly without it being a traumatizing situation for her like it has been in the past! She interacted with her and included us as parents. This was our first time going here but anytime we need lab work done for her we will definitely be back!"

"My daughter is 2 years old and they were absolutely wonderful with her! The nurse Tammy interacted with my daughter and made her feel comfortable! I love the way she came in confident and happy! She got my daughter's vein on the first stick!! She is truly a blessing! Everyone in the office was extremely nice. 10/10 recommend Tammy to do all the littles bloodwork!"

"I took my 5 year old daughter here for a blood draw. She is usually very dramatic about getting shots and I was nervous how she would react, but the lady working was so good with her! She made her feel comfortable and distracted her. My daughter didn’t even hardly cry. She even held the vile of blood and thought that was pretty cool. It was a huge boost to my daughter’s confidence as well! I would highly recommend this place, but know that you should get there before 3:45 if you’re doing a blood draw. Even though they close at 4, they won’t take blood after 3:45. I learned that the hard way."

"They have been great with the kids I've taken here for blood draws. The ladies are always kind and gentle with them. I appreciate them walking through every step, letting my girls know what will happen next, what to expect, etc."

"Wed Dec 27th I had to take my 9 month old baby up there to get his blood drawn. The lady that helped us was very nice. Told me exactly what I needed to do and got his blood drawn with 1 prick. She even held him & sang him a song to calm him down & it went pretty smoothly. I think her name was Lisa but I forgot. Anyways I would return if I needed to it went well."
