This site has excellent parking, is clean, especially the bathrooms, and staff is always courteous. I usually make appointments, and have always been seen on time. The phlebotomists, are top notch, in my opinion. I'm a difficult one to take a blood draw from, due to my veins being hard to find, but walk away being very satisfied with the process. Today, Jenny did my blood draw. She introduced herself, made sure my vials were labeled correctly, and after explaining, I had "difficult veins", she listened to my concerns, reassured me, and put me at ease. Jenny checked both my arms carefully, to find a good vein, which she did. Blood draw was an easy process, and barely felt the needle. This is typical, whenever I have my blood work done here in Pleasant Hill. Overall, very satisfied with this Labcorp.

The person who received my call was very pleasant and nice. I was able to schedule an appointment at my home for the blood draw the following morning. The person who I spoke with, Bernadeth, explained the blood draw procedure and told me she would be at my house at 8 AM the following day The following day I received a text from Bernadeth telling me that she was on her way. Bernadeth arrived at my house a little early and messaged me if it was OK to do the blood draw now. I told her it was fine. I opened the door and was met by Bernadeth who was dressed appropriately and in fresh scrubs. Bernadeth presented me with her business card and politely asked if she could come in. She entered my house and asked me if there was a place I felt comfortable for the blood draw. I directed her to my kitchen. Bernadeth was very professional, put on rubber gloves, laid out a sterile pad on my kitchen table, and explained the procedure to me. Bernadeth found a vein she liked and carefully cleansed the area where the needle was to enter my vein. Bernadeth's skill in placement of the needle was fantastic and I didn't even feel the poke nor any pain at all! After the draw, Bernadeth placed the needle in a sharps container, gathered all the equipment she had used for the blood draw, and put them into a plastic bag. Bernadeth explained the procedure for the results, thanked me, and left my house. I would like to pass on that the level of professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and sanitation and safety practices were greater than I expected. The in-home service was so convenient for me and the cost was extremely fair compared to if I had to travel to a clinic for a blood draw. Nevertheless, I highly recommend Lay Lab for any blood draw procedures you may need!

Unless you are afraid of needles. My phlebotomist was Arie and she was AWESOME!!! One poke and no pain! She got it on the first try! No bruise! Which isn't always the case!

I didn't wake up and not drink even a drop of water or brush my teeth for nothing. So yes I am very thankful they let me in. Blood tests are fast.

As a pregnant patient, I had a fasted draw at 1:45PM because all of their morning appointments were taken for weeks out. They got me in at 2:45pm and it was like being herded like cattle - called up a handful of names and brought us inside to wait in a line for a room My phlebotomist was kind, but felt very inexperienced. When she saw how many vials she needed to fill, she got some one else to double check which did not make me feel comfortable. She missed my vein for at least 2-3 minutes and after expressing it was very painful, I had to have her remove it and ended up leaving because the pain radiates up my entire arm. It was one do the worst bloodwork experiences I've had. I've never had issues with my veins and I've even had an IV put in during transit! Esp being pregnant and having to fast for so long, on top of them not getting me in for another hour after, it was very hard to stomach. I decided to use GetLabs and pay the extra money for a phlebotomist to come to my home, which was a much better experience.

LABCORP * 1 star. PATRICE ***** 5 stars…read more I wish there were a separate page on which to give a review for a staff person. My two stars are just two of the five and more stars deserved by the hard working, patient staff members working this last Saturday, March 14 morning at this way understaffed location. They deserve five stars for their courage and courtesy. The gentleman at the front desk was, you could sense, way overworked, but holding up well despite all that, and maintaining his courteous, patient self. Thank you, sir! I want to ESPECIALLY commend PATRICE, my technician (I so hope I remembered her name correctly), for her professionalism and her caring interest in her patients. While drawing my blood, Patrice inquired about my amount of daily water intake, I think because my veins are small and difficult to see well. And she proceeded to discuss with me ways to get enough water each day. She was kind, cheerful and interested in me as her patient. This kind of caring is rare. Her draw was also painless. Now back to Labcorp issues. My husband and I have been using this lab for a long time, starting with its location within the hospital building. We have watched it fall off a cliff as the corporation has become way understaffed. Last year, with an appointment, I waited forty five minutes on a Saturday morning for my fasting labs. Yesterday I had a 9:30 a.m. appointment. I got there at 9:15, did my sign in from the car by their new texting sign in system, and got texted right away to come up to the desk inside . My heart rose! The lab lobby was just jammed with patients. My heart sank. But I got called for desk sign in immediately! My heart rose! I did about five more minutes of sign in at the desk, and then got called for my draws within only about five minutes (interestingly, along with several other patients.) My heart sang! I was hopeful! BUT THEN, I waited for a full half hour in the blood draw room. My heart and my hopes for a Labcorp revival plummeted! My husband had a 9:35 a.m. appointment, and waited in total, about 40 minutes to get tested. It would appear that Labcorp is trying to streamline patient processing time by putting in new, automated patient sign in methods, and perhaps changing their patient call in process (8 patients called in at once?) But without enough staff it's pretty useless, besides adding to our overly robotic life experience. There have been many signs of employee burnout over the past year or two at the desk, as well. I truly feel for anyone trying to work for Labcorp these days. One would think that somehow Labcorp could lower their profit goals just enough to provide the kind of quality service that people need. John Muir, WHERE ARE YOU in this matter that is affecting so many lives? We at least need other lab company options. Has Labcorp become a monopoly? We are genuinely puzzled. But again, PATRICE, YOU ARE AN ANGEL! YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL REASON FOR MY WANTING TO WRITE A REVIEW! I hope you can see it through to where Labcorp and John Muir get their act together and can once again provide good service and a really good work experience to worthy employees like you! Thank you for being there!

Just now, Tuesday morning, more than 2 days late. Due to this horrible incapable place I was denied boarding to go to my hard-earned vacation to celebrate my 40th birthday in Barbados. The day of my flight was spent with my boyfriend repeatedly calling customer service to see where our results were, only to be told that their systems were down. That's definitely what you want to hear from a place whose results your entire vacation depends on. *sarcasm* Fast forward to 9pm: we are sitting at the gate, praying results would come in, but they never did. During this time I chatted with COVID Clinic's customer service on FB messenger and had the pleasure of dealing with the world's most incapable social media manager, Holly. Holly failed to tell me 3 times how their refund policy worked. Later another agent responded and apologized and explained it to me. Holly should be fired or at the very least retrained. Of course results never came in, and we left the airport absolutely devastated. The next morning we got retested at a place called Worksite Labs and they got us the results in time to leave for our vacation 24 hours later than planned. I spent hundreds of dollars rebooking flights, non-refundable hotel reservations and car rentals, which required 4 hours of phone calls to Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel whom I had booked the vacation through. I will never get back that time nor money. I should sue COVID Clinic for damages, quite frankly. Another thing, we told them we needed a nasopharyngeal swap, not a mid-turbinate due to Barbados's entry restrictions and their website advertised they do nasopharyngeal. When we got there they insisted on mid-turbinate and told us it wouldn't say on the test result. Guess what, it does. That alone would have rendered the results useless already! Stay away from this horrible place and safe yourself the headache, heartache and money. They now have radio commercials and I am afraid more people will fall into this trap. I'll make sure to tell everyone I know to stay away from this scam of a place!!!

I had my baby in 2024 at 38 years old and experienced severe postpartum depression afterward. It…read morewas very dark, and I was not in the right state of mind. After about four months of struggling with PPD, I made the decision to pursue permanent birth control a decision I now deeply regret. I was told by Dr. Cheruba Prabakarthat my tubes could not be tied and that they had to be removed. During the consultation, she asked if I wanted more children. At the time, while clearly struggling emotionally, I said no. She stated that since I was 39, it was a good age for this procedure if I did not want more children. I understand that the decision was 100% mine, however the state of mind I was in was not capable of making a life-changing, irreversible decision. I strongly believe that when working with women -- especially postpartum women -- it is a physician's responsibility to recognize warning signs of postpartum depression and emotional distress and to implement safeguards in their practice. What I needed at that time was help and support for my PPD, not a permanent procedure that altered my body forever. Instead, the process felt quick and not thorough. There was no screening for postpartum depression, no encouragement to wait, and no discussion about how temporary emotional states can affect long-term decisions. Now, three years later, I am 42 years old and desperately want another child. Time is running out. I am now facing IVF, with no guarantee that my insurance will cover it since this is considered a decision I made for myself. My eggs are older, the odds are lower, and the emotional and financial burden is overwhelming. I wish there had been more caution, more counseling, and more time given before moving forward. I also hope that by sharing this experience, changes can be made so that another woman in a vulnerable postpartum state is not placed in this position. I am beyond sad and angry about my situation, I wish i could of tide my tubes and maybe reversal would of been an option now there is nothing absolutely nothing i can do. and time is running out.
