The parking lot, while small, is easy to navigate and offers plenty of tree canopy shade. There is a well-managed feral cat colony that lives back there as well. I have always received excellent service, and today was no exception. I checked in for my appointment and I was seen right away. My phlebotomist, whose name started with "Sh" but I regretfully can't remember the rest, was faced with fact that I was dehydrated and my order required several vials to be collected. She did an expert job of painlessly extracting the necessary amount of blood anyway by using veins in both of my arms. Pro tip: drink plenty of fluid before a big blood draw.

There was no morning appointment available for the next two weeks, so I did walk in. In one hour,…read morethey only served one person from waiting list. I understand people with appointment would have priority, but they keep serving appointment people 20-30 minutes before their appointment times. I don't mind at all it if 5 minutes early. Appointment people kept coming, and they treated people on waiting list like we don't exist.

Irina is wonderful, I feel like Im getting blood drawn at a friends place where its a relaxed environment. It was also done quickly with minimal needle-prick feeling. I've had nightmares at Labcorp where they aren't experienced, lack empathy and I often walk out with a bruised arm. I cannot recommend this place enough and its def. my regular place going forward. Thanks so much Irina!

MISLEADING COLLECTION TACTICS AT ATWATER QUEST LAB…read more Beware of false stories to collect payment. I was told I hadn't paid a $650 bill when in fact it had been paid and settled. The lab tech said her job was in danger if she didn't collect some $$$ towards this bill. I explained the bill situation had indeed been resolved already but I felt sorry for her and didn't want her job to be in peril and she said she would only collect $1 to show she is doing her job. When I returned home that evening I checked my bank acct. and she charged the whole $650 to my debit card. I called the corporate office and they are refunding me the money but that it would take 4-6 weeks before my acct is credited. Not a very happy expenditure weeks before Christmas. I TRULY hope in the future the lab techs are not being pressured to make payment collections by using dishonest manipulations to get money out of the patients!

This is the best Labcorp I've ever went to. I don't have the best experiences when getting my lab…read moredrawn because I know I can be a hard stick but the person that helped me got me in and out so quickly. I took my son a few days later to get his lab drawn as well (he's 2) and they made the experience so bearable for me as a parent and for my son. He cried as toddlers would when getting poked by a needle but they made him comfortable from the beginning and he didn't even cry until the poke and he was settled right after with no issues. Plus, they gave him cute animal stickers that said "I was brave today!" I'm very happy with our experiences with the phlebotomists and front staff!

This was the most amazing experience having blood drawn. Made an appointment online the day before…read more Great thing I did because there were 11 people inside waiting when I arrived at 8:20 for the 8:30 appointment. After waiting in line for a minute to check in at the kiosk (2 people in front of me), I navigated to the site to check in. Extremely easy and fast. After logging in and two clicks, I was checked in and sat down (the two in front of me were still waiting to check in). 90 seconds later, I was called to the front desk and taken to seat #2 and awaited my phlebotomist. One minute later, she arrived in the room, confirmed my identity, pleasantly & professionally took my blood, and released me to enjoy my day. All 11 persons before me were still waiting to be called in. Moral of the story, make an appointment when you can and take advantage of the online services.

(They didn't have an appointment and were waiting on standby.) I didn't even get a chance to sit down before the nurse Mirzha called me back. She verified my insurance and my ID. Im always a little nervous because I have "thin rolling veins". But Mirzha was very professional and knowledgeable. Five minutes later, I was finished. The establishment was clean and organized. I even did a little grocery shopping.
