I had a very disappointing experience at this Labcorp location. I came in for routine lab work…read morerelated to my surrogacy journey, and instead of receiving professional, respectful service, I was met with unnecessary difficulty. As soon as the receptionist learned my appointment was for surrogacy, she said she couldn't find the ordering physician in the system and seemed unfamiliar with how to handle my paperwork. Rather than trying to resolve the issue or asking for assistance, she told me to take my weekly lab order and leave. It was frustrating to feel dismissed simply because she wasn't familiar with surrogacy-related lab orders. Patients shouldn't be turned away or made to feel like they're an inconvenience because staff lack knowledge about a particular type of medical care. I hope this location provides better training so future patients--especially surrogates and others with specialized medical orders--are treated with professionalism, respect, and a genuine effort to help.

Long story short: I was scheduled for blood work at 8 a.m. for the week of April 17, 2006. Arrived…read moreat 7:55 am and was given access to the building and office by then. Walking in, I showed my prepaid label to the attendant and asked whether it was better to check in on a tablet or with her directly. The attendant responded dismissively, asking what I was doing there 5 minutes before my appointment, which made me feel undervalued as a customer. My experience was marred by her dismissive attitude, which made me feel unwelcome despite having prepaid for my bloodwork. I proceeded with a corporation report, and today, April 22, I received a call from Labcorp apologizing, explaining, and presenting her side of the facts: she was "surprised" because I showed up 5 minutes earlier, given that the area around is full of homeless people. I appreciated the acknowledgment and the effort to clarify the situation. Then Labcorp, through their employee, assumed I was a homeless person, even presenting the pre-paid label of my appointment. Take your conclusions from here.

One of the advantages of living in San Diego is UCSD research. This is one of the new center to…read moreget the Early Test, which can detect HIV infection as early as one week after exposure. While tradition HIV testing like the Rapid Test detects HIV by detecting antibodies, the Early Test detects infection by detecting the virus. One can get both tests performed and both are FREE. Results of the standard Rapid Test will be given within 15 minutes while the Early Test results will take two weeks. The doctor will provide a personalized ID number along with a date to check for the results online (https://theearlytest.ucsd.edu/The_Early_Test/Results_of_The_Early_Test_HIV_Antibody_%26_HIV_Viral_Load_Testing_in_San_Diego,_California.html ) or by phone. For HIV testing at this site, I find it best to make an appointment. Find parking on the street; there's usually plenty within a three block radius on Park Blvd. Lead The Way is hard to miss, it's literally across from the Crypt (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-crypt-san-diego-2#hrid:If-S8-HYtS143l9lASWtqQ/src:self ). Lead The Way is very different from the two other places I've been to get tested before (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ucsd-antiviral-research-center-san-diego#hrid:4JuCu7uiyaw-lTRY70QAuQ/src:self ). When they say they're trying to banish the sigma of HIV testing, they mean it. It's an intensely relax atmosphere. The decor is modern and definitely sets the mood they're going for. There's one computer station to surf the internet while waiting. I got in right away with my appointment and the whole thing took 30 minutes. After explaining the consent forms and procedure, they pricked my finger for the rapid test. The results are faster than the mouth swap by 10-20 minutes. During the 10-15 minutes waiting time for the results, the worker asked me further questions about my sexual practices and explained things if I needed it. It wasn't my first time at the rodeo, so I didn't really need much explanation. Then, I got my rapid results and was taken into a room to get my blood drawn for the Early Test. Done and done. PS Note that there are limits to every test and know what the results are telling you. While the Early Test detects recent infection well, the Rapid Test detects a wider time frame. It's important to pick the appropriate test for your possible exposure time frame. I like to do both for the overlap.

Unfortunately, the donor got into some trouble and is now being held in a county detention center. Fortunately, the county was still willing to work with my friend and the detainee to complete the transplant. We were in dire need to find a mobile phlebotomist that could quickly go into a detention center during a tight time window to complete required testing. I also needed a lab that the county and the hospital would approve. I called quite a few phlebotomists and mobile labs but was having no luck getting someone to meet my requirements. Fortunately, a nurse friend referred me to Mobile Xpress Clinics. What a God send. Jill, the Operations Manger, listened to my requirements of needing someone to go do the testing as soon as possible. She answered every call (which were quite a few) and had all the answers I needed to get this scheduled. She also followed up with the hospital and the county to verify she had all the information that was needed to ensure everything went flawlessly. Jill also had the blood and urine draws transported directly to the transplant center's lab saving us the need to hire another currier service. I can't even put into words how caring and accommodating she was. Jill and her team (thank you too Windy) were willing to work around any schedule that the county and the hospital required. Mobile Xpress' prices were very reasonable as well. It is not everyday I need a service like this but if I do, I will always have their number in my phone. I could not have had a better experience. I wish more companies were this diligent, caring, and professional.

Luckily, a friend recommended this wonderful nurse practitioner, who can perform nearly any health-maintenance service one might need, with the imprimature of a doctor as backup. Exams are less stressful, rates are reasonable; she listens well, and takes good notes. Office visits are empathic, fact-finding conversations. How wonderful to be actually taken seriously! How refreshing to not be repeatedly tested for diseases we can't possible have, just because that's the clinic's (or hospital's) standard ($$) procedure. If you've ever had to call and call and call ... and call ... to get your lab results - you need to consider switching health-care providers! And you won't give up quality of care at this small clinic, either. UCSD had misdiagnosed my wife for years; they kept treating her for the wrong condition. They ignored all evidence she presented them that was contrary to their diagnosis. When her test results kept getting worse, not better, UCSD's only answer was ... to increase the dosage! When she told them she was going to stop taking the expensive medicine, since it wasn't helping, they made a note in her medical record, labeling her a "difficult patient" to deal with (in other words, a hysterical, unreasonable person)--virtually guaranteeing that other doctors wouldn't take her seriously, either. Yet on her first visit to Progressive, she was tested for things that UCSD never even considered testing for--and bingo! A new diagnosis, new medicine, and changes in diet have made my wife feel like a whole new woman.
