As with most of their other locations, service was extremely slow. Office opened after lunch break and we were #2 in line. Office opens at 12:30 but it took nearly 40 minutes before they were able to draw blood. Left at 1:12. Very inefficient and perhaps low staffed considering after registering the others, the girl at the front desk started assisting with drawing blood read more

Avoid this place at all costs! The bathroom is filthy, blood draws are painful, and the staff is absolutely awful. May is incredibly rude, and Patty, the manager, won't answer or return calls. They also miscode preventative tests as diagnostic to overcharge you when insurance won't cover it and falsely claim to be in-network when they aren't--blatantly violating both federal and state laws. read more

Rude non professional workers called ahead because I have a mobility service dog to help me walk since my legs are numb and they said yes they allow service dogs. But when I arrived and was up to get my blood work done they kicked me out and said I wasn't allowed in even tho I called and asked ahead of time they said they had a doctor scared of dogs and wasn't allowed inside so I had no choice but to leave my dog in the hot car. read more

They closed this office and moved to the 120 West Hellman Avenue #103 corner of Baltimore and Hellman ground floor. Bigger newer place is clean and has chairs outside. Can accommodate 2-3 patients. Free parking at underground level. Good service. You go inside, take a number from The table, sign your name and sign a consent paper. Give you lab request form, ID and insuran read more

My folks came here for a blood draw right before 11:15 AM, well before the office closes for lunch. There were a lot of folks in the waiting room. The receptionist who also doubled as the phlebotomist informed my parents their insurance would not cover the fees which baffled them. My father was confused so he called their insurance and confirmed their eligibility. He went back in to confront the receptionist by asking her to call the insurance. She instantly balked and immediately asked them to come in to have their blood drawn. She also told the same lie to the person who came in before my parents. Why the hell are you lying to the elderly who need your medical services? I get you are busy. I get you want to take lunch. I get your shitty management has left you severely understaffed that it is prompting you to bold face lie to your customers. WARNING: IF THE RECEPTIONIST TELLS YOU YOUR INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER YOUR SERVICE FEES, CONACT YOUR INSURANCE IMMEDIATELY TO CONFIRM. Better yet call the insurance before your visit and instantly call her out to save yourself some time. Seriously, this person and the company needs to be called out. I am not even going to report this to HQ because they were dismissive when my father complained to them about a staff member who rudely YELLED at him. Oh, sorry but our staff member was merely talking louder because you know, elderly folks are hard of hearing. It was such a non apology. It is truly bullshit that these folks pay for your services and you treat them like second class citizens -- it boils my blood. read more

I went to the one in 1048 S Garfield suite 303. You would think that I've been living in LA for almost 10 years. This city is just an ecosystem. Anyways the perks: free parking! Location decent and easily accessible. Building decently clean, elevator works. I was treated nicely by staff. My insurance with blue California sucks. $40 dollars for lab work. That's just another post. Came here fasten and they took care of me under 10 minutes. Good luck! read more

Had to come here to draw my blood and I honestly don't understand why the rating is so low. The nurses definitely have a system down and rightfully so! It's so busy here! I got here at 7:50am thinking I would be one of the firsts but nope. I was number 14. The nurse was super gentle! I typically get my blood drawn from front hand because my veins hide when I'm nervous and she was super gentle and understanding that I get queasy. I have to come back in October to do it again but this time I'll get there 5 minutes earlier than the previous time. Im only rating it 4 stars because they had no toilet paper. Thankfully I carry baby wipes wherever I go! read more

Business hours are 7am-4pm, I got there exactly 7am for the blood test and I was number 10 in line. Start to finish about an hour. Not too bad. read more

It's my first time to be here for my blood test since they moved . Before you coming here make sure they accept your health insurance and your IPA( if it's HMO)because I heard few patients changed their insurance and not acceptable. read more

A Mexican lady who was in charge of drawing blood here today used non-alcoholic dry cotton balls to disinfect me before drawing blood, and then used the same dry cotton balls to block the needle hole after blood drawing. I admire them for hiring such unprofessional medical staff. read more

No professional receptionist. The nurse who helped me with the blood test was also in front desk, speaking limited English. Meantime 2 other employees were talking loudly back somewhere in Cantonese. It seems like only the nurse herself is working on this workday afternoon. There is a poster saying that cash preferred, credit card accepted only when payment over $20. No contactless payment option. They'll take your physical card to another room, and back with a receipt printed out on an A4 size paper. When I have a dispute about my copay and want to contact their billing office, the employee(not the nurse) laughed and said their email address hanging on front desk has been out of service already. It's a small room with an all gender restroom(running out of hand soap). No water machine for urine test. No waiting room, only a few seats instead. Surprised that this kind of business can still survive in modern days. read more

Bad experience! Because the staff who can swipe the card went to eat, others can't swipe the card, and I didn't bring any cash, so I was asked to wait for an hour. It's outrageous! read more

This is a special shout out for Lillian Chen. For the past 15 years she has been taking care of us, and as she treats everyone, she is always greeting us with a smiling face and happy voice, never losing her cool no matter how crowded the schedule. Best of all, she is expert at drawing blood painlessly. You don't even know she's done it until she tells you she's done, it is so smooth. Lillian is the best. She deserves six stars!. (btw the new office very nice, much better than the old one.) read more

This place is better than the 210 where I usually go to. The wait was long but it was worth it. Only downside is that it was hot while waiting so maybe some ventilation would help and some chairs in the hallway of the 3rd floor would help. The receptionist wasn't rude and the the nurse taking my blood wasn't rude either so it was good service. Another feedback I'd provide is don't let patients cut in front of you. There was literally one patient whom cutted in front of me when I was giving my medical info so help with lines would be helpful. Other than that there was social distancing and the place was clean. The elevators didn't smell stinky like the 210 one. In conclusion the long wait was worth it it just needs some ventilation some cool air would help a lot for the patients who were waiting in the hallway. read more

Arrived, filled out the paperwork by the window. Had my blood drawn within 5 minutes. All the staff was friendly. Highly recommend. Very professional. read more

Parking; Private lot - but there is never any parking spaces available. Be prepared to wait. Staff: front desk staff is rude and disorganized. Bathrooms: are disgusting. I hope you have all your shots. read more

Be warned This location is not what a sanitary, COVID conscious, keeping is the safety of patients laboratory should be. The location is too small, run down, unorganized. There are a lot of elderly people that come here, having them stand outside in the hall way and them coughing all over the place is definitely uncomfortable. CUSTOMER SERVICE The front desk lady, is very rude, she SHOULD not when talking to other patients she yells and I even saw her putting her hands on them to move them away from the door. When I called in to check on my results, as I started explaining what my call was regarding, she cut me off YELLING at me that I needed to call my doctor...as I try to talk to her, trying to let her know that I did talk to my doctor and they do not have it, she kept yelling saying "call your doctor! call your doctor! we don't have it!" and hung up on me. I called back and they would not answer the call. This is unacceptable, unprofessional, and in bad practice of what a worker at a medical laboratory should be, the front desk represents the company and is the first contact a patients have. There needs to me a complete review of this location, personnel and practice. I will be filing a complaint at Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Central Office, Division of Laboratory Services (CLIA), at 1-877-267-2323 (toll free) extension 63531. I also called Sun Clinical Lab- Main Lab 9349 Telstar Ave. El Monte, CA 91731 Phone: 626-234-2355  Fax 626-234-2347 Email: data0011@hotmail.com to file a complaint. read more

I have no idea where to start. My dad came here to get his blood tested to see if his health is good. He come home feeling dizzy, i asked him what happened he told me they take his blood on both side of his arms and the girl in there keep taking the needle in and out in so many time. My dad came home not feeling good. He said his arms hurt so badly. I never see any clinics can take the needle in and out so many time and put it back in the same spot and take patient blood on both side of their arms. read more

Terribly inefficient, staff is rude and instructions are unclear. Even when they call you later, they are vague and the same impolite staffer this time hung up on me after I had waited an hour prior for no real reason. (The urine sample was done elsewhere!) People who have no choice will continue to patron this place but thankfully, I have Kaiser. read more

After reading so many negative reviews, I urged to write this review today. Today 11/22/2019 we went in right after they opened which is the only sun lab opening at 7AM. This is a smaller office compares to other locations. Thus, they have 2 staffs working are more than efficient. If you in a rush, you shouldn't come here especially in the mid days. Or have more patience to wait for your turns. These 2 ladies who helped us deserve rewards and respect for what they do. They are well respect, polite, soft speaker and well-informed to my parents. The nurse make sure my parents understand the instruction and have me to follow up closely for my parents. The receptionist was making sure she quickly settle she was working on and Took care of me in less than 5mins. We were out of there 15mins or 20mins max for 2 people blood work. So, I am hoping for those negative reviews should emphasize more specific points. not everyone here is rude and disrespectful. Thanks read more

How in the fuck do these people have a job? They are rude, aggressive, disrespectful, they can barely speak english. I called to inquire about a bill and the rep was agitated almost immediately when I asked her questions regarding my blood tests. She rose her voice, overtalking me, and continued in this manner until I requested to speak to her supervisor (which she refused to pass me over to any superior) I explained to her that she shouldnt be talking to anyone this way nor interrupting them while trying to acuire details about a hospital bill. She stated I wasn't her boss and said "what's the problem pay the bill". I hung up and re dialed the same number to get the front desk secretary and when I did I asked her to transfer me to HR which I presume she didn't know what I meant because she kept saying I was just talking to HR. This place sucks. Very unprofessional and shoyld be audited. Staff included. Time called between 5:25pm-5:35pm Date 01-14-2019 read more

Long wait very disorganized!!!! Grab a number when you get in from the table or you will be forgotten. I went at 715 am and was number 21 not enough people working for the demand and they were yelling at a lot of customers that didn't understand. read more

Got a blood test afternoon, very fast, nurse was friendly and efficient, limited English but enough to do test.

Came here to get my blood drawn had to come back twice to get it dram because they forgot to get more blood out of me. Waste of my time

7-13-21 We called for appointment and was told appointment is unavailable. We came to this location at 223 N. Garfield Ave S#303 in Monterey Park, California. When we arrived we posted our name on the list the wait for ~ 1hour they called us and started processing the paper work, collected payments then provide the cylinders for urine and waste collection; then kept waiting additional ~ 1/2 hours. The waiting time is fantastic, the staff courtesy was wonderful. After withdrawing the blood from my arm, location of my arm was swelling and the purple color was appear on the location where the nurse dip into it to withdrew the blood. Call us if you need to contact us 818-428-0985. I need to post the picture of my arm. Please help! read more

The attitude of the staff here is very bad. Most of the people who come here to draw blood are elderly people. Everyone's time is precious. For patients with many problems, please give them more patience and respect. read more

I called them to confirm insurance. They wanted my insurance to call them. I went in to to show them my insurance and they didn't want call. They wanted me to do the ground work and get a reference number. The office in Monterey Park . I called my insurance company and he told me, there just lazy and they just don't want to do their job. read more

I read the reviews and was a little worried I must admit.. The facility is a little old and run down a bit. I went there Wednesday around 2 o'clock there was no wait the nurse was very kind and did a great job I didn't even feel the needle which for me is a big deal because I am terrified of needles I was a little nauseous afterwards because that's how my body reacts the nurses were very kind to me. read more

Terrible place ever.... The staffs are so baddddddd. They treat the customers like trash. I wonder how they were educated to work here. I hate that place and never be back! read more

This building has no ventilation system!! In front of the elevators theres a thermostat that shows 88 degrees . When I entered inside the lab it was extremely hot! They have this poor employee's working under this conditions. I asked how long they have been like this ?( While she takes her sweat off) and it has been a week!! ! . I'm sure this is no working conditions and will report them. read more

Never never NEVER coming to this place. I came here only because of the location and it was convenient. Upon arrival, people were already lined up out the door. But I think it was because there is only one person at the front desk who registers the patients. Lady didn't even greet me, just asked for my ins card right away. I didn't appreciate the way she handled my daughter while she took her blood, very insensitive and very rough.. DO NOT COME HERE.. The people are rude!!!!!! read more

Terrible office and terrible staff. There's not enough seats for such a busy office. The lady at the front desk was rude and bad at her job. She does not give customers enough direction/information and talks at them. She does not complete the paperwork correctly and does not pay attention to detail. There was a long line because the lady at the front desk takes a long time to complete paperwork. I will not be coming back! The nurse was the only professional and kind person in the office. read more

I come here yearly after doctor checkups. Kelly is really professional and patient. The line was quite long before lunch, so she even stayed into her lunch to complete the queue. And she definitely changed her gloves per patient. Seems inconceivable the clinic can be around for so long and have lots of returning patients if she didn't... read more

Consistently false negative results which result in some severe consequences in my child's health. I am switching to some better hospitals just to avoid clinics that use this malpracticing diagnostic group chain which is located in El Monte, Monterey Park, etc.. If you Clinic uses this diagnostic group, I would recommend you to switch to another diagnostic group like Quest Diagnostic. If my kids' symptoms continue yet the lab results come back consistently negative, it is pretty obvious there is some serious malpracticing misdiagnosis going on. I am not wasting time and money on some ill-qualified diagnostic group. read more

After drawing blood, the staff fails to tell people to keep pressure on the needle wound for 15 minutes, which causes blood to leak out. As a result of that staff failure, you get big bruises that damage a huge amount of cells and tissues in your arm around the needle wound. This failure is very substandard, very bad, which indicates staff lacks professional training. Avoid this place. Go other places for blood drawing. read more

This place "tortured" my friend's son!! They have really unprofessional staff. And only one parent is allowed inside, not sure why is this? The nurse couldn't find the vein, and the needle was going in all directions in the poor child's arm!!! Imagine if you're ever let your child experience that. read more
