I agree with Gisele G. - avoid this place if at all possible!…read more I experienced the woman at the front desk as sour and shockingly disrespectful and rude - as well as barely willing to lift a finger to be helpful. I wondered: How can LabCorp have a person who acts in this way be in a customer-facing role? I've been to several other LabCorp locations in the area, and never before experienced anything like this. The phlebotomists, however, are lovely and well-meaning.

(I was already irritated bringing my 74 yo partner here because the google directions suck and once you go up the parking trying to figure out how to find the entrance is challenging already so there is that, and then you have to ask someone where labcorp is because its not obvious and then you have to check in on a stupid machine, which is enraging because i fail to see how increasingly making us interface with screens is making the world better for anyone except billionaires.) uh but i digress. Aside from that frustrating and de-humanising intro to the place, I came along with him because labcorp will not take cash and my partner does not have a credit card, and they have always wanted payment up front before since he's doing self pay. THIS TIME THEY WOULD NOT TAKE MY CARD EVEN THOUGH I AM STANDING RIGHT THERE TRYING TO GIVE IT TO THEM . This is even more infuriating because they have a machine for it, and I went out of my way to go there for this reason. Instead the dude insisted on billing me for it. Not only do i feel it should be illegal not to take legal tender, they now made me have to go out of my way all over again to figure out how to log into his patient portal (he always gets confused) so i can pay his stupidly expensive lab bill after the fact, wasting yet more of my time. We will find an alternative to Labcorp next time. I'm tired of this

I've been to this Quest twice in the past month. I've been pleasantly surprised by my experience…read moreboth times. I had to do a really large blood draw and was super nervous. The first time I went, my technician, Laura, was so compassionate and kind. The needle didn't hurt at all, although I started getting super dizzy during the draw and Laura calmly pulled out the needle, gave me water and had me put my head down to steady myself. She wasn't impatient or annoyed at all, and just kept a calm and professional demeanor. I also had zero bruising from the bloodwork, which rarely happens (compared with Labcorp where I end up with huge bruises on my arm every time I go there). The second time, Maryam was my phlebotomist and I told her I was super nervous and almost passed out the last time. She had about 15 tubes of blood to draw for me and moved me to a recliner chair which helped so much. No pain with the needle, and no bruising! And somehow I got through the whole thing without passing out and without having to stop midway. Both times there was a short wait, but at least I knew when I was going to be called and how many people were ahead of me because the names are on a screen in the waiting room. The facility is pretty stark, but it is a blood draw lab, I don't expect a whole lot more than the basics. The parking can be annoying. I would definitely come back to Quest over the other labs I've used - both of my experiences at this Quest were far more positive than Lab Corp or Sutter Health Lab.

I started using Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) facilities for multiple projects in my…read moreGeophysics PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley in 2015. I am currently in the process of returning my security badge to the lab. On the back of my badge there was an option to mail the badge back with postage promised for the return of the badge. When I returned my security badge to a National Nuclear Security Administration lab they mailed me an envelope to return the badge in. I did not get one from LBNL, a United States of America Department of Energy national lab stewarded by the Office of Science. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess I am not going to get reimbursed for the $4.20 it took me to mail my security badge USPS, yes that is allowed for security badges here. I mailed my badge 27 August 2021 and as of writing this review on 10 September 2021 the badge is still in transit... snail mail is not the fastest way to communicate with the lab. Two research facilities I utilized in my research were the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and the Advanced Light Source (ALS). I also ate at the cafeteria a few times and used the shuttle to get up and down the hill to/from campus and the parking lot on Hearst by Euclid. Shuttles only ran on week days when I was using beamline 12.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source, so when I had beam time on the weekends I would park offsite and walk up and down the hill to the synchrotron. A great way to wake up on a Saturday or Sunday morning, hiking uphill to the lab. During the week I would typically ride the shuttle up and walk down the hill unless pressed for time, then I would take the shuttle both ways. Something to keep in mind if coming on a weekend is to make sure your badge works at the laboratory main security gate. If it doesn't work, then you need to have the phone number of the beamline scientist or some other lab authority/supervisor plus your badge to gain access. Myself and other researchers I knew who used facilities at the lab had various badge problems over the years to a surprising amount. It just became part of using the lab procedure, at some point something will go wrong with one's badge, just work through the problem then. No amount of double checking prevented unrelated random problems from occurring. In the end, badge problems meant access problems and having that as a back-burner stressor was a bit of a detractor from the overall experience.

The PPA in Berkeley procures blood and bone marrow for research with payment "for your time". They…read moreschedule donors during the mornings on Monday-Thursday so the products can be shipped fresh to the contracting laboratories. Plan to spend quite a while at the first visit filling out your medical history, including any prescriptions you take. If you pass the written screening, small samples of blood will be taken and tested for HIV and hepatitis. Once they are screened, which takes a business day, they will call to schedule your donation. A great thing: if you had questionable historyy from your distant past such that the Red Cross will not accept your blood, it will not disqualify you from donating as long as you never contracted anything. Nawid at the front desk and Barbie who explains and takes the blood are both very personable and effective. A doctor takes the bone marrow from two points in the hip bones. PPA prefers consistent donors, and will call you to ask if you'd like to come in again at the time blood or bone marrow has been replenished in your body. Payment is made in cash immediately afterwards, and was much more than the amount listed on the agreement form which must be signed at each donation. That amount may have been for plasma donation in their TN office. Rather than donate plasma, if you want to help medical science and yourself financially as well, I highly recommend PPA!
