First of all.... NOBODY wants to be the Dutchess of checking into Patient First! Luckily this place is a short drive from my home. It's convenient. I've gotta give the staff KUDOS for staying sane (outwardly at least) during this time. The variant Omicron had a line around the building when I got here. It took me an hour JUST to check in. Once checked in you're sent back to your car to wait for a phone call. They shut down registration at 1300 after reaching their max capacity!! I'm telling you, get vaccinated! 3 hours after registering I came in to look for my people (you know, those in line with you) to make sure I didn't miss something. I wasn't the only one feeling like I shoulda been called. They had to keep answering that question... 'We'll call you when we're ready'. The staff maintained their professionalism! I did ear hustle wait time being 4 hours. So, I've got 30 more minutes; I hope. I'll update the outcome.

Do not go here for blood work!! I would give this place a ZERO for office management. I would need…read moretwenty minutes of my time to describe the inefficiency in this LabCorp. Just take my advice and drive fifty miles to another location before coming here.

i can't give below zero stars so here we go:…read more I went to the Labcorp in Bowie, and from the moment I arrived, it didn't feel like a caring or professional place. When I tried to explain that their system wouldn't accept my second insurance and asked a few questions, the front desk staff kept telling me to sit down instead of assisting. I asked if they could call Labcorp Gambrills or my doctor to confirm a second order, but the receptionist refused. When I asked for the fax number so my doctor could send the order, she said she didn't have it, only to later reveal it was sitting right next to her on a paper labeled for public use. That level of disregard and lack of communication was disappointing and unnecessary. When it was finally my turn, I tried to clarify instructions because I have a concussion. Instead of listening or showing understanding, one of the staff members told me to "just listen" and spoke down to me, not just like I was a child, but like I was her own child she was trying to scold and discipline. When I said I wasn't feeling well and needed to end the conversation, she told me to "look for the common element," implying I was the issue. It was not only disrespectful but also deeply unprofessional. She later called me back after checking with the doctor and offered what felt like a scripted, business-style apology. By then, I had already decided I would not return. Even if my life depended on it, I would rather skip the blood draw than tolerate that kind of treatment again. To make matters worse, when I called Labcorp customer service to report what happened, the representative was also dismissive, rude, and talked over me. They did nothing to help, except make me wait a long time on the phone, to come back and yell some talk then hang up on me. It's sad that in a developed country, patients can be treated this way by people who are supposed to care for their well-being. As someone with experience in business consulting and professional development, I truly believe this location could benefit from training focused on empathy, communication, and customer care additionally to establishing better processes. I would be happy to help Labcorp enhance its customer experience and staff professionalism, and I invite the owner or management to reach out if they're open to making meaningful improvements.

no zero star as an option so here we go:…read more I went to the Labcorp in Gambrills and had yet another extremely unprofessional experience. When I walked in, there were no other patients waiting and no receptionist at the desk. I said "hello" because no one was in sight, and instead of being greeted, I was yelled at from the back to "sit down," in the same tone you would use to command a dog. Only later did I realize that the person yelling at me was not only the receptionist but also the one who would draw my blood. She was rude from the beginning and even admitted she hadn't had a chance to go to the bathroom, but she took that out on me by raising her voice and snapping at me simply because I said hello loudly enough for someone to hear. When my phone died and I needed help contacting my doctor, she refused to call, refused to even look up the doctor's number, and offered no support at all. This came right after a horrible experience at the Labcorp in Bowie, and although the dynamics were slightly different, the level of poor professionalism at the Gambrills office was just as shocking. Between being yelled at for just trying to get someone's attention, treated like an inconvenience instead of a patient, and denied basic help with contacting my doctor, I left feeling disrespected and unsafe. I also called Labcorp corporate about these issues and discovered that, just like with the Bowie location, nothing meaningful is done to address the problem. At this point, it is clear to me that there is a serious culture and training issue, not just "one bad day" or "one bad employee." As someone with experience in business consulting and professional development, I know this location can do much better. With the right training in empathy, communication, and patient care, you could dramatically reduce complaints like mine and rebuild patient trust. If leadership is serious about improving the culture and customer experience here, I invite you to contact me to discuss concrete steps to fix these issues. Sincerely, A concerned patient and business consultant

You know what sucks? Summer colds/flus- those that last for over a week with no relief. Anywho, I…read morefigured why not get checked out. I was able to make an appointment online within the hour. Upon arrival, it was pretty much empty inside. The waiting room is clean and welcoming. I saw others complain about a receptionist; however, the woman that I encountered was polite and direct. My wait was about 20 minutes before I went back. Once back I saw a nurse immediately and was tested for all the things. About 15 minutes later I saw the NP. She was kind and answered all the questions that I had. I even left out, realized I had a question went back and she still made time for me. My prescriptions were placed and I was able to pick them up within the hour from my local pharmacy. Although, I generally try to avoid urgent cares, I know I'll be in good hands here.

Get through the rude dismissive front office staff, it's a breeze. Ms. Nadine NEVER once looked up…read morefrom her phone while my son and I asked her for instructions. She repeatedly referred us back to the site and kiosk with the most disregard. Not listening to my issue with the site, continuously cut me off and told me to go back on the site. Only after I asked for her name, did she make an attempt to answer. Mind you there were zero other patients to serve in the waiting room. Just my son. As a Practice Manager, I would never hire let alone have a person with such lack of empathy and customer service sit at the front and be the first impression of my business. No one wants to be in urgent care on a Sunday. Have some compassion and at least act like you give a care when patients are standing directly in front of you. I had to ask multiple times what she said since she was talking in her chest. Never looked up. Her phone was more important than taking 2 mins to guide a patient entering your establishment. This place needs to be mindful of who they hire! A co worker came in (Monique). Nadine looked at us and whispered something to her. At that moment, Monique attempted to explain the site and process. I'm guessing she was to assist with customer service recovery. Poor customer service. Disgusted with this interaction. In the back, prompt care and out the door. Fix the front staff immediately if you care to stay in business.
