The medical/office space located at 180 Corliss Street in Providence, RI has multiple businesses…read more It is conveniently by Route I-95 and in downtown Providence. The parking lot has plenty of spaces. On the 1st floor, there is a directory that lists the suite numbers of the businesses such as, Anchor Medical Associates, Lifespan Laboratories, Men's Health Center, and Infectious Diseases Outpatient Clinics in Rhode Island. The Lifespan Laboratories hours are Monday-Friday: 8:00am - 5:30pm and is located on the 2nd floor, Suite D. Anchor Medical Associates is my PCP so I usually go there first and then have bloodwork done at the Lifespan Laboratories right around the corner. When you walk in, you first pull a ticket number and then your number will be called by the receptionist. The receptionist will check you in and I gave her my lab requisition form. Within 5 minutes, I was called in and blood was drawn. Phlebotomist was very pleasant and process was quick and seamless. There was no bruise at the blood drawn site.

This morning I had to get some blood work done and take a 2 hour glucose test. Luckily, my…read morenutritionists building has a Quest Diagnostics in it...... Super convenient. The office is very small overall but cozy. There is one woman who works here and she is splendid. Extremely nice and professional. I mentioned to her that I have an issue with needles and that I will never out grow my fear unfortunately, and she was completely sympathetic. She used a needle one size down from the one she normally would use in order for me to not feel it. You know, I didn't! I was very thankful! She also took the time to explain the glucose test process. The office is very clean and well kept. There is some reading material, but nothing that interested me so my suggestion is to bring something to read if you think you will be awhile. My ONLY reason for the 4 stars is because they are not open weekends. I had come here Saturday morning as to try and avoid interrupting my work week and the hours, which are posted right on the door, only show Monday-Friday 7:30am - 5:00pm. So the only time I could do this was a weekday morning.

Also, if there's an issue with locating a vein they don't poke around. A simple butterfly (think that's the name) will be inserted. Rarely that's the case with me lbut it's happened at hospitals and other facilities - the constant poking with no blood. Here they remember and she finds the correct spot first try everytime. The intake is a bit lengthy but they do it right and unlike East Side they do it in front of you and explain any questions before you initial or sign. Again other places treat you like a deli order and you sit in the waiting room until they do the paperwork and surprise surprise, I've gotten bills for things my insurance didn't cover at East Side where Quest will look and make sure all is well. Even with the short hours - I'm giving this 5 stars because of the quality of service. Besides, I usually have to fast anyway so it's not an issue. It's a walk in & appointment so those that get angry, make an appointment.

I brought my daughter to Garden City Treatment Center for an urgent care visit and was amazed by…read morethe level of care that she received. Despite being a busy Friday night, every provider from start to finish was polite and genuinely concerned about her health as she had previously been misdiagnosed elsewhere. She was treated by RNP Russ Dufresne, who is an asset to both this center and the medical profession as a whole. I'm a first responder and I've never witnessed such thorough treatment in action. If we didn't reside over two hours away, I'd want him as our PCP. Thanks to him, my daughter is finally recovering.

Like anything, I suppose it matters on the day and the provider…read more I have been here 3x. Once for someone else, and they did a great job and escalated their care quickly to the local hospital. When I was here last, I was in and out in about 1 hr. The visit today, was another story. I was told there were only 3 people ahead of me. However, I spent over 3 hrs, waiting and waiting and waiting. I waited for the doctor, I waited for the phlebotomist, then I waited for results... Which didn't show anything. Nearly 4 hrs is a long time to wait. The doctor discharged 3 other people who came in after me ahead of me. He said, "sorry, I went to the wrong room" when he finally returned. I had asked another staff member to check on the wait and she did not ever come back to give me an update or let him know I was waiting. When the nurse came to discharge me, she gave me a diagnosis that he had not shared with me. She went back to ask the doctor and learned that the diagnosis listed was incorrect. He then listed another diagnosis on my paperwork, which is also incorrect. The entire experience was frustrating.

After putting on gloves, she then couldn't seem to find a vein on my left side. Then she tries the right. Never had an issue before. Just after she inserts the needle, she calls over another girl to help her b/c she moved the needle (which I was getting stabbed w/on the inside). The other girl had to help w/getting the needle back to where it needed to be and putting the vile on to collect the blood. They never took the rubber band off the whole time while saying the blood is coming out slowly. Meanwhile, there's blood dripping on the floor. After all that, two of the tests couldn't be done b/c the blood was hemolyzed, which means the blood was compromised either when it was drawn or when it was transported and couldn't be used. This is the 2nd time a Lifespan lab has screwed up my samples so my tests couldn't be done.

He then yelled, no exaggeration, take a seat. So I spent 1/2 hour listening to this obnoxious unprofessional person, and realize I would not let him near my arm with a needle.
