    Very friendly staff. You're in and then out...quickly. Parking is available and near the lab…read morebuilding. I find that the online appointment procedure is somewhat daunting. Could they simplify it somewhat?

    I had a bunch of lab tests. Had to bring in various biological samples. When I got the collection…read morecontainers I had to present my ID, insurance cards, etc. I watched them enter the info into the computer, just as I had watched the receptionist in my doctor's office enter it moments before. I was told I had to have an appointment to be allowed to drop off the samples. Seemed odd, but ok. I couldn't be sure when I could collect the samples, some of which were time sensitive, so I collected the samples before trying to make an appt. When I tried to make an appointment there were none available for the time-sensitive materials I had just collected. Now What? I tried to call to ask what I was sposed to do. First I was dropped into the general Legacy Health System where I was on hold for about ten minutes listening to a long message "if this then that, if that then this, if the other thing, then the other, Covid information, Covid immunization information, if this than that again, etc. etc.," finally got to select the number for my need, where I again waited about 10 minutes, again sitting through "if this then that, if that, then this, if the other thing, then the other, Covid this, Covid that, etc. etc., When a human finally answered I was transferred to the lab where once again I sat through "if this then that, if that, then this, if the other thing, then the other, etc. etc.," for another10-12 minutes. No one from the lab ever answered. Since I had already collected the specimens I decided just to drive to the lab before the clock ran out. I hoped someone with common sense would accept them. At the lab no one seemed to care that I didn't have the mandatory appointment. They asked for all of the same information they had entered into the computer less than 24 hrs before. I explained the confusion I'd experienced when I couldn't make the mandatory appointment in time to meet the lab deadline. The receptionist said, like I'm a little slow "well, if you have a specimen to drop off you don't really need an appointment!" I suggested it would be helpful if there was a note adjacent to the online appointment link stating that lab specimens could be dropped off even if no appointments were available. The receptionist shrugged, said he has nothing to do with that. This is the first time I've dealt with the Legacy system. I liked the new specialist I saw, I was thinking about becoming a Legacy patient. Nah. Can't get through on the phone, told an appt was required, but couldn't make one, and staff who are unconcerned with the patient's experience in the Legacy system. I sure hope Legacy lab staff's systems and personnel are more responsive than I experienced in my efforts to get there.

    All businesses should be so easy! I had a calcium scan and an xray. My doctor and Rayus told me the…read morefirst was not covered by insurance but I chose to pay the $200. Rayus also told me (2-3 times) the second was not covered by my insurance (out of network) and the xray was $88. I'm not rich but figured it was worth getting both done at the same time and I am so glad I did. Thankfully I wore leggings and no wire in my bra so I didn't have to change into a robe. I listened to their clear instructions and we were both pleased. Two procedures! I was in and out in 30 minutes! Including filling out the paperwork. So efficient, patient and friendly. I wish more businesses followed their example.

This was my first time at this location, and honestly thought I wrote the adress down incorrectly because I typically go to Rayus on NW Savior, and sometimes the one off of SW Walker. Each location provides the same basic services, but for some specific tests - catscans, ultrasounds, MRIs, or biopsies - you have to go to a specific location. As has always been my experience with Rayus, this visit was fantastic. Friendly, welcoming and efficient from the check in process to the technician conducting the diagnostic test. No wasted time. In, out, done. Oh, and it's easy to get appointments within a week or two, no booking 4-6 weeks out. For these reasons, I always tell my doctors to write the referral to Rayus and not Providence or OHSU. Unfortunately I'm a regular, but it's comforting to know my experience will always be easy and stress free. Plenty of parking out front including handicapped spots.

    Generally the staff is competent, friendly and my waits for my appointment are not long. However,…read morethe problem is communication with my OHSU clinic. 100% of the time I am told by the staff that I have no order from my doctor. This is because my clinic and their medical organization fax orders to labcorp instead of using an electronic system. This means that labcorp staff need to know the day the order was received and then search through all the faxes received that day. I don't really know when the order was received by them. Last time I had to get my clinic to fax the order again, and had to wait around for that. This time I'm going to bring a paper copy of the order. The communication is broken on the other end as well. My clinic never sees the results since they come via fax to a phone number they don't check, or at least not regularly. So, I download the results from labcorp's site and attach them to a mychart message. I fault primarily labcorp, but also my clinic and their organization, my insurance company (who requires me to use a lab that doesn't communicate well with my medical provider) and myself for not making more noise about this. (I'm trying to remedy that with this review.)

Not to mention the employee drug screening was over $200! Labcorp must be raking it in with how many people show up to do this every day.

    I've had my share of inexperienced technicians treating me like a pin cushion in the past that has…read moreleft me scarred about getting blood work done. There was one time a technician bruised me so badly after a blood draw, I ended up with a gigantic bruise around the injection site for 4 weeks. No joke, 4 weeks. My sister thought I had gotten into a fight, it was so bad. Located in a shopping plaza on the corner of Pilkington and Boones Ferry Road, this LabCorp can be tricky to find. You go through the glass door, up the stairs or elevator, then out the glass door on the second floor. See photo. I've been to this LabCorp several times already for blood work and each time, it's a clean draw, no bruises whatsoever. Not sure how they do it, but I feel comforted knowing that when I come to this location for blood draw, they can do no harm. I always request for a baby needle and to let them know I bruise like a peach. And each time, they would oblige my request. After each draw, they'll wrap my arm with compression bandages so firm pressure can be applied to avoid bruising. I knocked off a star because I've had problems getting my blood results in the past to the point where I have to come in person to find out what the holdup was. My doctor's office and I both have had a hard time reaching a live person on the telephone, hence for the in-person visit. TIP: Blood work results will take a few days and if your doctor's office still has not heard from LabCorp, have them call their customer service line at 800-676-8033 to obtain results. Individual LabCorp facilities will not have results, they only collect specimens. Other than their piss poor administrative abilities, the technicians here are friendly and competent at what they do. It's one of the better LabCorp locations, in my opinion.
