Came here for blood work. The we site said 15 min wait for walk-in. When I got there they said it would be a 4 hr wait. When I scheduled an appointment I only waited for 35 min The personal were very kind and apologetic. I feel bad for them because they front line workers and overwhelmed. Make sure you thank front line workers. read more

I gave this one star because I could not give it a zero. I came to this quest diagnostic center because I used it once before, and it seemed pretty efficient even for walk-ins about a year ago. I had to get my annual blood panel done simple blood withdrawal procedure. Upon arrival, there is not a single human being in the check-in area, and never was. They replaced a receptionist with automated check-in terminals. There is no interaction at all until a phlebotomist comes to the door and calls someone in. If you engage them, they direct you to the terminals. I came at the end of the day 3 o'clock... ( as I had done a year prior) this facility closed at 4:30 there was less than a handful of individuals. After almost 90 min, Looking at the queue there was no more appointments and only myself and another walk-in and it was 420. The phlebotomist came out and told me they had to close. The other patient and I explained that we still had 10 minutes left and that they could totally get us in... he took us in. His colleague could not find my blood order and basically told me that since they could not find it, they could not do the extraction. And kicked me out. I had fasted all day ... I returned the next day after talking to my doctors office who told me they could not even call on the doctors line to talk to somebody there and ask me if I could confirm with someone that they received the fax when I arrived. Again the same procedure I sat down and waited. Someone came out, and I explained the situation. They found the fax and gave it to me and told me to wait in the waiting room. At one point there were 17 people in line and zero people being serviced. I have the photo and it stayed like this for at least half an hour. a gentleman came up to drop off a sample and they told him he needed to go through the check-in queue! Literally, he had the bag already ready and all they had to do is take it and then made him go through the check-in, queue, and sit down and wait for 15 to 20 minutes before they came back out again to take it from him! I sat there for two hours, waiting, while the standby queue only went down by three people. It was a complete travesty and a joke. They tell you to call the number but when you call the number, you are in automated service that never let you talk to a human being confirmed by my doctors office as well. The staff at this facility is indifferent, nonchalant, and aloof. They do not care. They are also rude and condescending. There is no manager or administrator that oversees them just phlebotomist/lab techs... this place wasted my time as I had to return to work after two hours... if I was quest, I would send an administrator over there to get that team in line and start organizing the way they process their lines... they weren't even taking the appointment on time much less processing through the walk-in queue... I will never go there again. In short, they suck. Trust me, don't waste your time going there thinking you'll have a different experience. my opinion is not unique as several of us in the waiting room were all voicing the same concerns and frustrations... read more

Don't waste your time at this location. Apparently they don't understand or respect the concept of "appointments" I had an 11:40am appointment, arrived on time and checked in. Sat there for almost 30mins with no quest employees in sight. Not even a receptionist. Then looked up at the computer and seen 10 guests checked in with 11:40am appointments "to be seen within the next 60min" what a joke! I left there and went over to the quest at 18800 Main Street suite 206 and I was in and out within 15mins. read more

Great lab! I was a walk-in patient and welcomed and serviced within 10 mins. This Hoag hospital suite is spacious (encouraging social distancing easily). Facility is clean, efficient and friendly. Pleubotmist, Matthew, was friendly setting me at ease while expertly taking my blood. He did not falter even with my very tricky rolly-polly veins! Will return for any future Laboratory needs. read more

I always go at the Foothill Location, R7K. Wendy is friendly, a professional, and always do a good job! You feel comfortable. Thank you again! read more

Pre-op blood test. Making online appointment was easy. Appointment time was serviced perfectly. Results were forwarded to my doctor in a timely manner. read more

Inside of HOAG HB next to the Urgent Care waiting area. The front desk check-in process is great and the guy there is always nice and efficient. I tried getting an appointment but no availabilities fit my schedule. They take WALK-INs so i took a chance. On a tuesday morning, i only waited 10 minutes! (Of course the times will always vary). read more

Great experience at this location as opposed to the one at 1401 Avocado. It's located in the Hoag Hospital building on the third floor. Had an 8:30 appointment and was taken in immediately. The technician was very professional and the process was painless. I drove from CDM in the rain and it was worth it. read more

I waited for over an hour With An Appointment! The kiosk did not accept my confirmation code so it scheduled me as a walk-in. They had no one at the front desk to help, and the desk remained empty the whole time. I watched as they took back 6 people who signed in after I did. They never called my name after an hour and I had to leave because I had a client scheduled. I know people in labs are very busy these days, and, this "Customer Service" is unacceptable. A very sad state of affairs. Quest is an embarrassment. read more

I'm dealing with a extreme scary time with my mom. She has to have an emergency surgery for Brest cancer. It been a nightmare to get all the thing done the surgeon needed (testing and approvals) done. Then to top it off my mom's primary lost her EKG and bloom work. I had to try and walk in to this location hoping they would take us. As soon as I walk in Mathew greeted us and i could see on his face and voice that they had no time. I explained the situation and he took us right in. He was beyond amazing with my mom. This is a scary time for us and people like him is what the medical field needs more of. I'm a business owner including a couple local restaurants. I hope i see him some day to treat him and his as great as he treated my mom. QUEST YOUR LUCKY TO HAVE MATHEW. read more

I feel bad hoag has to share ass - space with this organization in their building. My doctor ordered me to drop off a urine sample to them. It's 2:30 pm and Come to find out people in the lobby had been waiting for over 2 hours. The names on the check-in list said when their appointment was coming up and then was delayed another 20 minutes to an hour. This includes cancer patients and people with breathing tubes and ventilators. Honestly I feel sorry for Hoag. Their communication at Quest is by far the worst I've ever experienced read more

I don't appreciate being treated like crap when I go to drop off prepared specimens at quest on beach at Hoag building. I am a Hoag employee and am literally just doing my job. You need to educate you're rude employees on how to be polite. read more

Very painful and lots of bruising. Have gone quarterly for last 3 years and will not allow her to perform a blood draw on me again in the future. read more

I've had to have numerous tests done at Quest. it is much better if you have an appointment but people who perform tests are very precise and friendly. There are numerous locations nearby. read more

make an appointment. they are usually booked for two days so try getting an appointment as soon as you can. you may get lucky and someone cancels. i had to get bloodwork two days before an appointment so i should have tried earlier but waited until the last minute. don't even try to walk in. staff friendly enough. when i got in it took just a couple minutes so the tech to draw blood. plenty of parking. read more

Just like every other location: massive, chain blood lab. I've been here a couple of times in the past several years, and all I can say is it does what it does, not very organized at times, wait times can be long especially in the early mornings when everyone's there before work or due to the fasting requirements. Bathrooms are outside in the hallway and you will need a key to get in, only one stall. Parking is confusing because there's still construction for the building. The lab is on the 2nd floor not on the 1st floor like the directory says. read more

After my doctor submitted electronic orders to Quest, I scheduled a morning appointment for the following week. When I got there a few minutes early the day of my 9 AM appointment, I checked in from the text reminder I received on my phone and took a seat. All my insurance info was already submitted, so I didn't have to do any paper work there except for a signature when I was done. I was called in right on time for my blood draw and urine collection, so I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. read more

I took my son in this morning for a blood draw if you have little children make sure you ask for Isaac. he is so great with kids he is patient you can tell he loves kids not a lot of people have that special touch for kids. He even took time to draw on my sons tape that made my sons day thank you so much Issac if we need blood draws again we will definitely be back and ask for you. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Called this morning (June29, 2020) to get my daughter in for a blood test. Lady who answered the phone told me that no appointment was necessary but, when we arrived, talked to a rude worker at the door. He said that walk-ins are okay but here we are sitting outside while the waiting room is empty. One hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing! Last time we will come to this one! read more

Appointments are accepted 1st. Understand - However, i never considered "Only 1 Tech" to handle all the walkins. 3 Appointments ahead after waiting 1 hour. 7 people with no appointments are waiting. Receptionist advising "You are in for a long Wait". 1 Tech to handle all this work flow????? Make an Appointment - or wait hours!!! read more

My husband and I just got our blood drawn with 1 poke each so we were happy. My lab guy (a younger Asian guy) was great! He kept me entertained with conversation the entire time and used the butterfly needle for my minuscule veins. The wait time wasn't bad at around 45 minutes, but we didn't have an appointment so... Minus one star because a middle-aged Asian lady employee was argumentative with a 90-year-old grandma about her check in. She could have been nicer to the sweet old lady, and the old lady left quietly upset. Kind of bothered me because I love little old ladies... Anyhow, I would recommend this Quest in general. read more

The check in process with the computer wasn't working and there was no one at the front desk to help. I asked the phlebotomist why there wasn't anyone to help and she said they haven't had anyone at the front desk in 2 years. She suggested to try and wave the paperwork with the QR code around and it may help. There were 6 patients that were having problems and I tried to help but it wasn't working for me either. It's so frustrating. read more

Can't get a live person to talk to. Went to the clinic and no one was at the reception desk.

I always go to the Quest Diagnostics at 19582 Beach Blvd near Albertson's. This is the best Quest Diagnostics place ever ! Everyone is always so helpful and friendly. From the minute you walk in you are always greeted with a smile and asked if you need anything. Melisa J was my technician on Friday 9-4-2020 @ 9 am. She was so kind , knowledgeable and professional. Plus I never felt the needle go in at all. Thank you Melisa for all you kind words and care. You are amazing and Quest Diagnostics is lucky to have you on their team. Carol W. read more

Was in yesterday to get my blood test. Waited a half hour with no appointment witch was no problem. The problem here was the completely rude and un professionalism of the man with the beard working at the front check in. This man should not be working the front. He should be in the back away from the public. ZERO people skills! I watched for the half hour I waited how rude and pushy this punk was to so many other elders like myself.. read more

All I can say is that Crystal is wonderful. She found my doc in the system who had moved without informing anyone, complicating my visit. She was gentle and kind to a nervous blood giver like me. She called me when she realized I forgot to do one of the tests before I was even out of the building saving me time. Her personality is absolutely fantastic. Honestly, if she were single I would have asked her on a date! read more

I must say the friendliest facility of all Quests labs. Staff always nice smiling and greet and acknowledge you. I walked out of another because they were so rude. read more

When I need information about the process for a procedure it is impossible to get. There is no route to accessing a representative directly.

I made an appointment to quest 3 days prior and received test messages about the upcoming visit. When I arrived, they said my name was not on the list and my text verifications did not include the confirmation code so they could not confirm me. I only had about 30 minutes between work to complete this appointment, and it turned in and hour and 15 because I had to "walk in" visit. I also watched many other people walk up with appointments but said their name was not on the list. The receptionist was also unable to get onto her computer so she wasn't able to help with the situation much. read more

I use this lab not only because it is close to home but also because the lab techs are skilled and friendly. In other labs, including the one right next door to my doctor's office, the techs "stab" me several times to draw the sample. Got tired of being hurt. Today, my skilled tech at Quest was Matthew and he was great! read more

Unfortunately this team is very unorganized and unfriendly. The girl checking in was negative and non-helpful. When I supplied my new proof of medical card (which is a print out while waiting for the new one) the insurance company was very clear that it is acceptable she scoffed at it. Duh check the system for proof of coverage. In addition the girls behind the counter are discussing office protocol, personal experiences etc. clearly stuff we don't need to know about there inefficientiences. read more

I've never had an issue getting an appointment at this location. I recommend booking your appointment sooner than later = when you know you need to get lab work done, book your damn appointment! I always use the Quest website as it is incredibly easy to navigate through choosing your date, time and confirmation request. I really like the 'new' facility on the bottom floor that's close to Beach Blvd - very clean, very quiet, staff is always pretty nice. Just take your appointment seriously, they can only help you as much as you help them! read more

Avoid this place. Employees state approximate waiting time...double it. You will be here more than two hours.

There is not a better Quest than the one on Beach at the Hoag Center. Be sure to make an appointment. If you don't make an appointment you will wait. This was the best experience by far with Quest. Isaac is a gem. I have very tiny veins and it usually takes several tries to get the blood. Isaac did it on the first try. read more

the best quest diagnostics i've been too! mathew was professional and friendly when helping me. i had to get a blood test and it only took one attempt to draw my blood. my doctor quickly received the results. my visit took less than 15 minutes. they stayed open till 5pm so i dipped from work at 4:30 and made it before closing. come to this facility - plenty of parking and clean read more

The address is 19582 Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach, CA 92648. Ste 300 not 170. Quest is on the 3rd floor. I'm usually very anxious about getting my labs drawn especially because I'm not the easiest stick. I happened to be in the area with extra time in between my errands so I thought I'd give this place a chance. Adriana helped me check in and was so friendly and helpful. I didn't have an appointment so I waited about 5-10 mins and she took me back. She was quick and she naturally calmed my nerves so before I knew it the procedure was over and I had a small dressing on my arm. Didn't feel a thing!! If they had 10 stars I would give her that. Thank you Adriana for taking pride in your work it is greatly appreciated. read more

Superfast, clean, polite and professional. Facility at Hoag is super clean and new. In and out for some blood work! That's the way it's done people! read more

Quest Diagnostics - I hope so - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

They were very friendly and quick. I had blood drawn and it was painless. Much improved from last year.

This Quest is clean, the employees are informative, and the entire staff is helpful. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone I know in the area in need of lab work done. read more

We just moved from Florida to Huntington Beach. After reading some bad reviews about this Quest, we were quite discouraged. Sounds like it's similar to the Quest in Jacksonville Florida. We decided to go anyway to this closest one to our house. Oh my Gosh! It is a beautiful building with beautiful interior. The place was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We waited about 15 min. on Friday about 8:00AM. Maria did a great job. My wife who had the same lab work done had the same experience. We would recommend this place for sure. read more
