You are the experience!! 5 Difficult Blood Draw Solutions | Montes HealthCare College You must take the tourniquet off after the needle is in the vein and blood flow is established, ideally right as the first tube starts to fill or within one minute, and definitely before you pull the needle out to prevent sample contamination (hemoconcentration) and patient discomfort/bruising, releasing it before final needle removal. Leaving it on too long (over 2 mins) can damage tissues, nerves, and alter test values, causing issues like bruising, pain, nerve damage, or tissue death (ischemia/necrosis) in extreme, prolonged cases. I felt BAD for the older lady that was getting poke over 5times I will report this clinic they need to be healed accountable especially after I told the Asian guy drawing blood why he kept the turn the tourniquet on if the blood flow was already existing!! And had the nerve to tell me I need to drink more water!!!

Been there so many times. None of the experiences were worth to get a star. Not to mention about…read moregetting bruises from the needle all over my arms. The wait time is also ridiculous. They are very slow for some reasons. I ended up not getting my blood drawn because I can't spent 1.5 to 2 hours just waiting for this. I went to the other location on Hellman street in Monterey Park, it was not better at all. very small waiting room, full of people, no one at the front counter. They close for lunch at 11:30, I arrived around 10:40. There are about 10 people sitting in the waiting room. They probably won't take me anyway. According to the previous review, they close for lunch early as the listed schedule, they will start turning people away at 11. Don't understand why insurance and doctors refer patients to this lab. I tried, blood drawing is such a painful experiences for me physically and mentally with this labs. Not going to do blood drawing this year, skip it.

First time at this location, typical horrible experience with the Quest appointment/walk-in system…read more Seems like this might be their new location since the Huntington one closed (think they merged the Yelp accounts, which is why two reviews are showing up here for different places). Multiple people in the waiting room were complaining about how long they were waiting, how the Arcadia Quest used to be much faster, etc. After waiting in stand-by for an hour, I and another person were told that we would not be able to come in as standby, without an appointment. With only 10 minutes left to the day, staff stated that there were still two appointments they were waiting on and wouldn't take us, even though those people were not present. Since COVID, Quest has used this online appointment system which makes things so difficult for multiple patients and seems inefficient to the actual work of getting blood tests done during the work window. Repeatedly disappointed with the way they run the clinics and policies. Their location email address if you need to send an order, since they also make this difficult: pscvu4@questdiagnostics.com

They don't do appointments. I came here on a Saturday morning at 7:29am (they open at 7:30) and…read morethere was already a huge line. They opened the doors and gave a number to each person in line. I was number 34. When they call your number you give your ID and Insurance card. They give you a cup and you do your urine sample in the public restroom outside the clinic and you HOLD ON TO IT. Then they call your name to go in for your blood to be drawn. Start to finish, I was there for exactly 2 hours. They were organized in the way they handled the huge amount of people. They had 2 nurses inside taking blood. One nurse handling the intake. And another doing Misc organizing/managing. I have gone here in the afternoon once before and it was very quick and everything was done inside the clinic. I just think Saturday mornings are just extremely busy for them. Having appointments would be helpful, but they do things smoothly for the amount of people they're seeing in a day.

I suppose people have reasons for showing up without an appointment but it's not a good idea.

Staff is friendly and young, location is convenient with the large building and parking lot…read more Unfortunately didn't have a great first experience today. Having forgotten my paper order, I had my doctor's office fax it in. My time came up to go in and I let the girl who first called me in know, and she said that after checking it hadn't come in; she'd keep checking and be sure to call me in when it did. Between getting forgotten and having to ask multiple people to check, it took almost 50 minutes for them to get me in, with my appointment happening happening about an hour later. It would've been faster for me to drive back home, get my order, and drive back... I've never had it take this long at a Quest where I've had to fax before. Staff explained bc it's all electronic to their computer system, their fax orders come in slower? On me to remember my paper orders but on a company to run efficiently. Hope issues like this in combination of electronic and human services can be more efficient in the future.

States to go to the Quest on Duarte rd, Aracdia nearby. Since I got there early , I went to Huntington and there is no appointment found, I went on standby waitlist just see to see after 2 hours, no movement. Everyone in the lobby were super upset and it felt very uncomfortable with so many frustrated, upset, vocal people. It felt like DMV, where the workers are indifferent and not trying to help. The lady indicated that corporate knows about the permanent closure of their facility and still books patients. I suggested they notify corporate again to fix that to avoid hundreds of people scheduling appointments unaware they're booking for a closed facility.

I came on a Friday around 11am. There was no one at the front desk. I was hoping for a quick in and out but I waited for about 15 minutes before anyone came to check in the guy in front of me. Not sure what happened with staffing but it looked like there was only 1 guy working that day. I feel sorry for him but it's unacceptable to have a patient wait so long just to check in. I left without getting my blood drawn cause any longer I would have been late to my next appointment. Go to the Telstar El Monte location.
