Have lab work your doctor ordered? They say just pop over across town to Quest Diagnostics? Well, prepare to go on a quest! It may even be a multi day quest. On your quest, you won't encounter mythical beasts or other creatures to battle. You will find shabby waiting rooms, with nobody to even greet you or get you checked in, that will be done by a tablet on a post. There will be uncomfortable chairs, no TV, no reading materials, a monitor will falsely tell you that you have a 5 minute wait, which will never update.
All of this aside, you may not even be able to have your labs done, on the first stage of my quest, I waited looking at the shabby carpets, fake plants and art purchased from a storage unit auction for an hour, to then be told that they wouldn't be able to help me today. I would have to call and schedule an appointment. I left, called from the parking lot, spoke to a robotic appointment system, the next available appointment was one week out. I took the first available appointment, then on the day of the appointment I showed up at that shabby office only to find it closed, which conveniently right then I received a text from the robot telling me that my appointment was canceled. I went home and got online, made an appointment for the next available slot, a week later and was finally able to complete my quest! Mythical beast slayed!
The bottom line, this is a business that does not value their customers or employees. You can tell from the moment you walk through the door that their business model is minimal service to the annoying customer, bill the insurance company and pass the savings on to the business owners. These offices are understaffed, minimal service operations that leave you feeling like your doing business with a totally greedy organization. I dread ever having to go back there. read more
