What are dull needles good for? Nothing. They're pointless!…read more I like to think I'm generally a pretty healthy person. If ever I get sick, it's usually not anything worse than the common cold. Recently, however, I did have reason to go in to get checked out and was ordered to get my blood tested. Enter Diagnostic Laboratory Services (DLS). Located very closely to Dr. Rodney Ono/Dr. Matthew Dykema's office, DLS is right around the corner in the exact same building. Requiring less than a minute of wandering around, looking for the right door (in my experience, at least). When you enter, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Instructing you on exactly what it is that you need to do, in a clear and concise manner. It may also have been coincidence, but when I went there was basically no wait between when I got there and handed in my papers, to when I was called back to have my blood drawn. Which is always a plus in my book. As you're taken into the back, the staff are again very friendly and personable. Doing all that they can to get your mind off of the fact that you're about about to have a large needle poked into your arm. To their credit, it did work to a degree! Having heard some horror stories about having blood drawn (technicians not being able to find a vein, leaving a big bruise, etc.), I think that this experience was quite good. Getting the blood drawn was quick and relatively painless, and the staff were nothing but nice the entire time. If ever you are given a choice of what lab to use for blood tests or something, I wouldn't hesitate to use DLS. Or, if you know that you do have to go there for tests, I wouldn't sweat it.

1.

Morning wait time. You may have to wait, but much less in comparison to a no-appointment walk in at other labs. 3. One family member thinks there is more accuracy with labs here. I don't know the difference but she will only use this lab company because of it.

UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISHONEST:…read more DLS is simply bad news. They are disorganized, unprofessional and dishonest. They "lost" all of my paperwork in less than 24 hours after my Dr. had sent it. I explained I was going in for my medical procedure the following day and desperately needed the test. So DLS then lied to my face saying they would contact my Dr. to follow up. My Dr. and I waited for nearly an entire day without any contact from DSL and with the procedure scheduled less than 20 hours later were left scrambling to find an alternative. The fact that DLS "lost" paperwork is one thing, but to tell me they would address their incompetence - and then do nothing- is pure BS! DLS could not care less. Not one person from DLS ever bothered to contact me after loosing my paperwork to apologize. They're simply in it to 'work the (insurance) system'; you are just another 'dollar' to them.
