And after I flinched, asked if I was okay. Other than him, I've have nothing but positive experiences with them. In fact, there is another LabCorp which is 1/2 the distance from my house, but because of said interactions with these employees, I'll continue to go to this one. After all, I've been coming to this particular location for years.

In this era of not being able to get an online appointments for months, I truly appreciate the…read moreefforts at the Noe location. I needed labs for my pre-surgery requirements and the earliest appointment was two months away. I did a walk in at the Ocean Avenue location and the wait was four hours long and packed with people. I decided to take a chance at Noe since I was fasting, and they were able to get me in right before their 11:30 am lunch break. The sign outside says it's "appointment only" but if you check in at the machine inside and say you'll wait, they may be able to do it if not too busy. The female phlebotomist was also working the front desk and was very kind and patient. She was personable and didn't lose her cool despite the influx of patients. I really appreciate her squeezing me in. The other male worker was processing the labs in the back as they do that on site. He was hustling too. This location is much less stressful than others. Appreciate their hard work.

I've been going to the Quest Office at 2198 15th Street for the longest time--perhaps 20 years! It…read morehas always been a wonderful location with wonderful people. It does make me a little sad that the staff there now have to work so much harder, handling billing and check-in requests on top of their primary role as phlebotomists. That extra load seems outside the scope of their professional focus. Fortunately, even with these added responsibilities, the staff remain incredible. They are skilled, gentle--it never hurts me--and they are consistently warm, encouraging, polite, and clear in their explanations. I especially want to give a shout-out to Genesis, who was genuinely warm and curious about my weekend. She lit up when I told her how much I enjoyed seeing the play Nine to Five this past weekend, and that made the whole experience feel even more personal and human. The office itself is beautiful and clean, and Genesis even took her own time to put up some cheerful Hello Kitty printouts that brightened the walls. One suggestion that might make the space even more soothing would be to add some local artwork. Perhaps nearby artists might be willing to loan or donate pieces--something calming that would also showcase community talent. I think this would enhance an already excellent patient experience. I often tell my friends that if they need to get blood drawn and have the time, this is the office to visit. The only other teeny-tiny improvement I'd love to see would be the use of bandage wraps like they have at UCSF--ones that don't pull hair when they come off, which would be a relief for those of us with, shall we say, more arm hair

She answered no questions and offered no help, even though I asked repeatedly, she just went into "I'll bring it up at a staff meeting" mode. I'm SURE that there is better available than that, I just got the wrong three people. The next day I called back, same we don't know huh the same Mariah quote that is so tired AHF Pharmacy employees have NO IDEA how to work with PRC........is it like some feud back waaay up yonder that you never hear/heard about?

AHF has been hit hard from Covid. The front desk staff and pharmacy are always amazing. Trying to…read moresee my same Dr 2 times consecutively is impossible. Literally a different Dr. Or at less only a RN to refill scripts. Unfortunately my las visit on January 28, 2022 was one that has put an end to my 20 years as a patient, thanks to so called Dr. Lara West, from the LA AHF recently transferred to Seattle and supposedly "helping out" at the San Francisco clinic. This rent a Dr was not only insulting and clearly no happy with her transition to Seattle and now SF, she clearly had a chip on her shoulder no bed side manner. Only was interested in my prescriptions I'm currently on, and the meds "she" feels I don't need fTom my releasing Neurologist of 5 years regarding my Epilepsy she stated wasn't In my records she had. The appointment was originally for a rectal Pap smear. Yet she was only concerned with her opinion on my Neurologist long term therapy, THC therapy and clonazapam 1 mg and 1 mg Xanax as needed for auras. I've suffered from tonic clonic seizures since I was 33. I'm now 52. 6 years seizure free! Yet off all first baseline AED that literally ruined my quality of life. She refused to listen to anything that I had to say from my past and pressured me to return to a neurologist, not to mention that could take up to 6 months or longer during Covid to get to one as stated by my primary care Physician, and just steamrolled me about her personal agenda and refused to respect my team of 5 neurologists in 2 States that have helped me along my journey of being weened off all these toxic meds and left on a regimen of the least amount of seizure meds that work in suppressing my seizures. She treated me as if I was a drug addict pill chaser which if anyone knows me. I've fought to get off of as much medications Drs have put me on for said issues. Ms. West was only concerned with a std screening and bullying me regarding if I even actually have epilepsy! At this point I walked out of her makeshift office and refused her request to have my labs done. No thanks. I have great health insurance and an amazing Primary care Dr I'm returning to. Now it made sense why the pharmacy gave me a call a week before to tell me that this Dr is causing issues with patients by refusing to refill any meds that aren't hiv related. Yet you don't have to be hiv + to be a patient and all my scripts have always been handled by AHF as they need state funding for patients like myself and literally took over my scripts years ago along with my primary care Dr receiving all my records and labs from AHF. Ms West then went on to try to scare me? With comments about the devastating shortage of qualified Doctors that I'm going to experience like none ever seen before. WTF? I'm now locked in a room with a 40 year old disgruntled Dr without a practice judging me and try to use fear tactics. For?? I can only imagine, to get rid of as man good patients so as to where we don't return so Ms West can go back to Seattle. I looked forward to seeing my caretakers at AHF. I made a day of going into the City. Especially during the pandemic. It gave me something to look forward to. Sadly until they are able to find a Dr that can stay I won't return. There's been at least 5 Drs this year. I've never had any issues with any of them including the Medical Director Dr that said something like this will not hap. Ever other Dr has been a plea to see. I feel sorry for the staff clearly their hands are tied n they need to save their job as well. Unf for Ms. West. I have nothing but time on my hands to make sure that this is reported to AHF corpo and the Director of Doctors for AHF. I'm not to be had by anyone who only wants to change the quality of my health care in 10 minutes of meeting with absolutely zero information other than their perception. She could do everyone a favor and not return to. "Help" at our clinic! FYI. DOCTOR West. Isn't a doctor at all. She recently took a 16 month online course for a DNP! She's basically a glorified Nurse. Who acts like a power tripping Dr! Shame on this woman for not being honest with the patients!

I've tried a lot of medical offices in SF (One Medical, Kaiser, UCSF, Sutter, Golden Gate Urgent…read moreCare, etc.) and Carbon was the best before they stopped accepting my insurance this year. * Their mobile app is easy to navigate and works well most of the time * Never had trouble getting same-day urgent care * Billing seemed fair and correct * With one exception, I don't recall ever waiting more than 10min past my appointment time * Doctors always replied promptly via the app * This location has a small in-house pharmacy so I was able to get antibiotics on the spot right after my appointment In short, the service was on par or better than One Medical but without any membership fee. Would go back in a heartbeat if they accepted Anthem again.

The phlebotomist who drew my blood yesterday was amazing!! She was so kind, professional, and…read moreskilled that I barely felt the needle. She made the experience much easier and I want to give her the biggest shoutout.. I wish I got her name..... but she was the only one working on 6/22! Based on previous visits, I expected to be in and out quickly and parked in a 30-minute spot. However, I waited over 30+ minutes to be seen, which was stressful since I didn't want to leave to add time to the meter and risk missing my turn. I was also fasting for a lab draw so I was a little hangry. And, it took about a month to get this appointment, which is much longer than I've experienced in the past. What is going on? I'm luckily healthy, but it makes me worry for those who need lab routine draws. The phlebotomist was the only staff member working, which likely contributed to the delay. She provided excellent care, but the clinic could clearly benefit from additional staffing and improved scheduling.

He discusses his latest learnings (he's always learning) each session with such enthusiasm and insight, its remarkably infectious. Not only has he helped my physical well being, he has been a spirit guide for mental, psychological and interpersonal well being as well! Throughout our visits, he has transformed my understanding of nutrition, wellness and my relationship with food for the better. I feel empowered and equipped to make the right life and food choices to fuel my body to feel a decade younger. Rick has become a dear friend and essential element to my quality of life. He has transformed my life for the better, during our fun and entertaining sessions. No matter how tired or spent I feel when I arrive to a session with Rick, I ALWAYS feel better when I am done than when i started: physically, mentally, emotionally and holistically!

Apart from reversing my hypertension and stabilizing my (diabetic prone) blood glucose, I have also uncovered my self-limiting beliefs about who I could be. I feel comfortable and confident walking into my gym and putting together my own strength routines based on the impeccable guidelines and guidance that Rick has given me.
