Understand the bad reviews. For me my appointment was 1pm and i was back out the door at 110 done. Moral of the story, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Christina was very personable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

So terrible it's nuts. Every office is rated 2 or 2 1/2 stars and not getting better. Corporate must treat them like hell. They all look miserable. I went for my appt, checked in early and some tech came out and called my first name and said last name.. I said no it's my first name, so she walked away never to return. Now I was dropped from the appointment list. No one to tell or talk to and when I finally got tired of waiting I walked in and was promptly told to get out. I tried to explain as my appointment was 20 mins ago and was told to get out and that she would not argue with me. Worst place, no human to fix problems and it's like get to the back of the bus. How can they continue like this? People like me don't put up with this callous treatment of paying customers. I will find a new lab next time, this location stinks and the personnel are nasty idiots. read more

Quick and easy process to get tests done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Making an appointment online is easy and the check in process is quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only waited a few minutes in the waiting room for my morning appointment. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Have had to reschedule a number of times because of info not on the website.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The website functions fine to set appointments; the rest is outdated and much of it appears to be broken or badly coded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a phone number but it goes nowhere because they no longer take phone calls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are no longer people at the front desk. Check ins are done with an electronic kiosk. There's a link on the website that says something like, "Click here to find out more about x and y". Next to it was a tiny i, the thing you click on to get more "information" about the link. It said, "This is the link you click on to get more information about x and y". I am not making this up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The second time I was there a girl, who was nice (but only because she personally happens to be nice and not because her job indicated to her that we need to be nice to the customer), mentioned that I could have my doctor fax the lab order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I called my doctor they told me they don't bother faxing Quest bc Quest never gets their faxes... but they would try anyway. Sure enough, on the next visit they didn't have a fax from my doctor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The website, near as I can tell, does not say you must bring a physical copy of the lab order. It does not list an email address.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is however an email address written in messy handwriting on a piece of paper the size of a shirt tag that looks like it was fished out of the trash which is taped to the front desk that has an email address on it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since not everyone in the universe has a smart phone (like the unhoused or people who need the money to buy fruits and vegetables or luddites); you get to go back home and email the lab order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ah, but something else they don't proffer at the office or on the website; they don't keep emails for more than a day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So if you go to your scheduled appointment thinking you're golden because this time they have the lab order, it might go something like this: Tech that looks like a guy who was in juvie: "So do you have a lab order?" Me: "Ah, well last time I was here I learned I can send it to that email address, so it should be here." Tech that looks like a guy who was in juvie: "Well, I don't see it here... Was it sent today?" Me (wondering if he has hashish in his ears): "No, it was sent last time I was here...". Tech who looks like he steals cars on the side (getting snippy): "We don't keep emails for longer than a day..." Me (I look up at the ceiling - I most emphatically do not look angry or huff and puff or give him attitude, but I might look like I'm trying to conceal a nervous breakdown behind the most thoughtful facial expression I can muster): "Can I email it today, then?" Tech who looks like he has medical marijuana in his car: "Yeah you can do that." I then realize I didn't bother bringing my flip phone, which I have for reasons not worth getting into. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Me (very apologetically, sorry for asking): "Oh, you wouldn't happen to have a phone around here I could use?" Tech tells me with his cake hole: "If it's fast enough (because the appointment can't go over ten minutes)"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. A moment passes. Me:(being very hat-in-hand apologetic in tone) "Would there be a phone around here I could use?" Tech: (speaking the way Darth Vader would speak if Darth Vader were a 23 year old guy who gets high and plays Magic The Gathering with exclusively male friends) "No. That would be your responsibility." Me: (not wanting to be trespassed from the property) "Well, we'll have better luck next time - see you then." Leave. Tech (picking his nose): "I've already forgotten you were here." Ok, that last line is made up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is not written to hurt Quest or get some kind of revenge (necessarily). This is impossible. They don't have to care.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The other kind of business is something like a department store where they go way the heck out of their way to be friendly to the point where you try to hide from the store associates wondering the aisles with infrared scanners to track you down and beg forgiveness if they've neglected you in anyway (TARGET)... or a hotel or a restaurant, places where bad customer experience hurts the bottom line - but not a super low price apartment complex or the government or a lab that draws blood. Their bottom line isn't affected by you. There's nothing anyone can do about that. It is what it is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess this review is just here to express sadness that we live in a world where people are only nice and helpful when they're required to be nice and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, bring a paper copy. Don't let the doctor email it to you. Or email it to them the day of the appointment (unless there's something else they didn't tell me). Lesson learned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be getting blood drawn at doctor's office, tho. They don't offer but when I ask they're fine with it (just have to fast before every visit just in case). Anyway, there 'tis. Thank you for your time. read more

If you are in need of a pediatric blood draw, this is NOT the place! Came with my daughter, who was very anxious about the process and they were running over 15 minutes behind late on appointments when we got back there they couldn't find the orders from the doctors office and then once the orders came in there was a lot of confusion about what tubes to use and they had to call in another phlebotomist to help with the printer, etc. at this point we had been there over an hour and 10 minutes and my already anxious daughter was beside herself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was no explanation of what was going to be done. Once asked to explain the process, they used terminology to explain that was way above the developmental level of my daughter who was even more anxious[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. They did not lay her down and she became very faint and they had to stop the blood draw halfway through. They said that they needed to continue they would have to bring in somebody else. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a very traumatic experience for my daughter and I'm very disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had to ask for water for her[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the phlebotomist seemed very inexperienced and unprofessional. NEVER going back read more

Oh nooo it's terrible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried logging into their app and it kept giving me verification codes but i got kicked out because too many login attempts aparently.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just to see my blood test.

Quest Diagnostics is clean, has quick service, and very kind staff. My tests come back very timely as well.

I got to the clinic at 10:25 this morning and two of us (#1 and #2 on list) waited over an hour to be told at 11:20 they would no longer take any standbys because they close at 11:30, no acceptions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If I could have made an appointment, I would have.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had an Urgent Care requesting on Friday. I now cannot make my Monday appointment without labs. I understand that you close at 11:30 on Saturdays. But there are NO other clinics open in the Conjeo Valley on Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A suggestion, stop accepting standbys at 10:30am and if there are any left at 11:30, please have a heart and serve them! Or even better, stay a little longer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I visited Quest at Rolling Oaks in Thousand Oaks on Saturday 04/11/26. Since they accept walk-ins and open at 7:30 a.m. on Saturdays, I arrived at 7:20 a.m. There was one person waiting outside. The first phlebotomist arrived at 7:38 a.m., but with her coffee in hand. Maybe the line at the coffee shop was long and that's why she was late. I believe her name was Jessica. She opened the doors and everyone checked in. By then there were several appointments and seven on the stand-by list. I was first on the standby list. The office has three appointments scheduled every ten minutes, starting at 7:40 a.m. Since staff was late, the first appointment wasn't called until 7:50 a.m. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At 9:00 a.m., I asked if they would be calling people from the standby list. Jessica told me they were short one person but they try to take people from the standby list.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She suggested I make an appointment but by then I had already waited 1 1/2 hours. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At 10:30 a.m., the other phlebotomist made an announcement, they were understaffed and "may" not get to the standbys but they were "trying to catch up."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I believe her name was Yvonne. As soon as they caught up, they started moving slower until another appointment showed up. At 11:31 a.m., Jessica announced the office was closed and the standbys would not be seen. There were three of us and two of us had been waiting since before 7:30 a.m. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I suggested to Jessica that in the future they make an announcement at the start of the day to inform clients they are understaffed. Jessica gave a very corporate response, "we try, we made several announcements, and it discloses the policy on the screen when you check-in."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I repeated my suggestion and requested she pass my suggestion to her supervisors. She repeated her corporate answer and refused to accept any accountability. Basically, we didn't get seen because staff arrived ten minutes late, got started twenty minutes late, and could not be bothered with common courtesy to let us know at the start of the day that they were understaffed. Corporate - please provide better guidelines and proper professional etiquette training for staff. read more

Quest Diagnostics - Entrance - Laboratory Testing Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

After posting this review, I received a harassing email from an employee showing how crazy they are. Please do not go here for your safety. I will be reporting. Their system was not working but she stated I should not be taking care of my father with cancer if he does not have paperwork. Wow... Kelly was super rude patients. Should not be in health care if you do not care about elderly patients. Do not come here. Choose another location. Very insensitive. Told us we can come back another day if we did not want to wait. We never said we did not want to wait. She does not want to work and just sits around. read more

This morning I received extraordinary service and attention from phlebotomist Sage. Like so many businesses, Quest Diagnostics is currently struggling to meet demand while maintaining a minimum of overhead. No longer is there a helpful security guard in the waiting room and the understaffed team of phlebotomists is dreadfully overworked. As a patient needing their services, you can see it and you can feel it. Still, despite the pressure of getting them in and getting them out, Sage managed to remain effortlessly charming and thoroughly professional, all without a hint of stress or frustration. Within the few minutes allotted to me, Sage was able to deal with my complicated paperwork, wade through a tangle of various doctors' referrals, and respond positively to my many questions. My identity was quickly verified, blood was drawn painlessly, and Quest's records were updated in an impressive feat of multi-tasking. Good job, Sage. Thank you for being so nice. read more

My phlebotomist was great. This isn't the reason for the poor rating. I needed to fast, therefore I needed an appointment for the early morning. Also, I had to be at work by 830 am. The earliest that I was able to get an appointment was 730 am. Mind you, I got online to make this appointment last Monday evening. I arrived at 6:57 am. I signed in. Several people came in after me who did NOT have appointments. They were actually seen and out before I was even brought back to get my blood drawn. WHY make an appointment if I could have actually got in before? It's not cool and not fair to those of us who planned ahead. It was very frustrating and made me very, very angry. Any ideas who I can call to make this complaint? I ended up late to work. read more

I've taken my mom here twice for blood work and the staff were incredibly nice and helpful. I wonder if things have changed since all the bad reviews? My mom's Dr. didn't forward the order to this lab and so the ladies here kept our appointment open until I sorted it out and we did not have to reschedule. I could see it was frustrating for some people in the waiting room to use the kiosks and not have a person on site to answer questions. It would be nice to have a receptionist or manager to oversee things so the lab techs don't have to do everything. Besides that everybody that works here was doing their best and some of these bad reviews seem really harsh. read more

I am super upset with this quest location. I made an appointment for 1:40pm and was not taken back until 2:30pm. While I understand that some appointments take longer than expected [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very frustrating sitting for almost an hour waiting for my appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were super nice but did not apologize for the long wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I believe if it was going to take almost an hour for an appointment they should have apologized for the wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to many quest locations and never waited over 10 minutes when coming in with an appointment.

Went last week for my 6yr old to be seen. It's not an easy trip for us as she has a hard time with these procedures because she has special needs. She was crying and screaming while we were in the waiting room and as we walked to our room in the back. While we're waiting in the room they can tell she's not going to settle down and all of a sudden don't have the correct paperwork to do the labs and we have to leave, print out the forms ourselves and come back. These POS staff members DID NOT want to help us. They turned us away with little sympathy and could care less for what my daughter has to go through. Now we have to torture her again and make another trip out to a different lab since the incompetent staff here did not want to do their job. After making a few calls, we were informed the location did indeed have all the paperwork and referrals to assist that day, they just did not want to work with my daughter. I admit, my daughter is not easy to work with but they showed no effort at all. I advice not to support this location and go elsewhere. Looking at other reviews here, this place should not be open or needs an entirely new staff. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to break our daughters heart again and put her through this experience one more time. read more

It's busy during lunch rush but never had any issues other than my timing. Friendly phlebotomists.

This place is so terrible I wish I could leave minus a million as far as the rating goes! It's almost impossible to talk to a real person, the wait time is ridiculous! I really hope Jim Davis the ceo would take a look at all the negative comments but I doubt if he really cares! read more

If you want terrible customer service this is your place. Half the staff has broken English and if you don't have an appointment , your treated like dog crap. No one in front to even talk to you. Quest Crapnostics should be the same. If you do a quick search , you will easily see they are a terrible company at every location. read more

The front desk is automated, not making for a good first impression. Be sure to bring your own chair as they are scarce in the lobby. Making an appointment doesn't mean you're not going to wait for more than a half hour. I wonder what it's like for walk-Ins? The plus side is that it is air conditioned. read more

I had a visit in this lab recently and left with un unforgettable excellent experience because of Elizabeth's professional service. She welcomed me nicely with a smiling face and a soft tone. During here prepping, she never neglected my existence, answering my questions patiently. The whole process was done in an amiable way, not to mention she's so skillful: just a light feeling with one try, she's got all the blood needed! It's difficult COVID 19 time. She insisted to work for us. Her every genuine smile, and every soft word, plus her perfect skill, are really the best things to comfort us patients, and the best spiritual support to us! I want to show my respect here to her, and all her colleagues! Please also take great care of yourselves! read more

I've been taking our daughter here for a few years (she's 3), for regular tests. Prescriptions are sent via email, and the nurses simply gave me an email address so I could forward it when we turn up for an appointment. Not any more. Needs to be printed, or sent in via fax. Why don't they have a questrollingoaks.com email address for this sort of thing? Completely unhelpful staff, no longer willing to share an email address. Dumb. I think I got rid of my fax machine 20 years ago, and my printer 4 years ago. Is this an example of the state of the "advanced" US healthcare system I wonder? read more

I made an appointment to get my labs done the night before. I was in and out in 10 minutes, with no wait time. I was seen by Jessica, who made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She made it feel like a pinch, if that, when she put the needle in, and she was very professional and friendly. It's exactly what anyone would want out of their experience. Thank you Jessica! read more

I've been to a few other Quests and hadn't had very good experiences. The staff seemed unfriendly and rushed. But I have to say this office was great! They were closely following COVID standards with cleanliness and social distancing. I checked in quickly and was brought back very fast. The staff was so friendly and made the experience great! Emily, my phlebotomist, was so nice and made the experience much more comfortable. She was outgoing and very nice. Just an FYI, their walk-ins are Monday through Friday only and Saturday is only by appointment. read more

Once again I am thoroughly impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the lab staff at this location. I am a monthly client for blood draws. I have never been disappointed!

Very slow impersonal service... we arrived electronically checked in and were in the waiting room over 20 min... no service... then 2 others were taken in even though they arrived after us....waiting room awful... no wonder they require masks... read more

My doctor ordered a very thorough blood panel for me and I had the test perfomed by this Quest location. The phlebotomist was very good and the procedure was virtually painless. Results of all tests except testosterone were available within 3 days. However, testosterone took over a week, and the result reported appears to possibly be an error, as it declined by about 1/3 in less than a year since the previous test. I have never had a testosterone test take more than a week to get results. I tried to contact Quest by phone, and found that they do not take phone calls. Instead, they force you to use their online chat, where I got to deal with a rude person named "Daisy." She had no answers for me as to why the testosterone took so long, and told me to have my doctor order the test again, of course at my expense. I did what she said, and I will never go back to Quest again. The only customer service they provide is billing you and your insurance provider. If you have questions, too bad for you! read more

The worst organized business. The place closes at 4. Allows walk ins. Myself and several others arrived almost 2 hours before they closed. Sat there and waited. Then someone comes out at 3 saying they can't help any of us. Why allow walk ins if you can't accommodate. They are so scattered there. They need to change their hours of operation to actually take care of their customers or atleast see the people that did check in. Really frustrating for people who need to get their test results asap and could have made arrangements to go elsewhere. read more

Almost zero waiting time for no appointment blood work. Easy check in and very professional service drawing blood. I didn't even feel the needle. Fast results. Highly recommended! read more

They're not unpleasant here, but I have never failed to have a problem with the paperwork. The doctor will send over orders, I'll confirm that with the doctor's office, I'll show up and check in, I'll go back (late, invariably), they'll start getting ready, then it's "There's no order" or "We don't have the insurance card that's been on file and that sent the order and that you scanned ten minutes ago to check in." The amount of admin I have to do on their behalf is unreal. The inattention to orders has caused me to have to reschedule appointments multiple times, which is fun when you have to fast and also waste your lunch hour on it. I've tried calling beforehand to make sure they have orders, but it does no good because no one answers the phone. Again, the employees are pleasant enough, but the whole operation is sloppy beyond belief and that's really not okay when it comes to health care. read more
