LabCorp

Don’t bother making an appointment. You’ll still wait forever before they call you up. The sign in sheet asks if you have an appointment and there’s the red folder they use to attempt to prioritize appointments but good luck having them pay attention to the fact that you checked the «I have an appointment» box.

Wow… The personnel at the Labcorp near Emory are so incredibly rude and unprofessional. To be exact, the techs name was Allen. I have NEVER heard of or been to a lab, or any other medical facility for that matter where personnel were not only demeaning, but somehow felt the liberty to engage and physically move a patient into a preferred location. Yes, I said ‘move’… Not lead or ask professionally. I mean he literally physically placed his hands on the body and pulled. If this is his typical disposition with patients, I’m not really sure how this individual is still employed. I’m actually a little stunned. This was just ONE of several things that happened. The whole experience was crazy. I will seek an alternative lab for future tests. Save your time and money. Go anywhere but here.

I had to take a pre-​employment exam and was instructed to go to LabCorp before they closed, the only thing I was given was the address. I had no clue if this was a independent office or what, so begins my adventure to find the infamous «LABCORP»!
I put the address in my GPS and headed out, come to find out this place seems to be located inside of Emory Hospital, so now I have to find somewhere to park and then find this wonderful doctor’s office, inside this HUGE hospital.
I decided to self park because it was cheaper than valet, depending on how long you plan to stay at the hospital. I parked somewhere very high up and begin my adventure to find this place.
I finally find an elevator that works and I promise you everything about this place is confusing and the signage doesn’t help much. So the best thing for me to do was to ask someone if they knew where I could find LabCorp, no one was able to help me, not even hospital employee’s could help.
So for some reason I decide to check out Unilocal and I found an extremely helpful tip from a fellow Unilocaler that states this place is on the 14^th floor, I really wish this was somewhere on the paper I was given but I digress, thank you to fellow Unilocaler «Colette B.»
So now I have to find out how to get to the 14^th floor, I ran into a really wonderful stranger that helped me figure out how to get to the «bridge» so that I could get to the other building.
Once I finally found out how to get to LabCorp, I walked in and was greeted by a friendly nurse, I signed in and was quickly administered my test, then I was done. It took me about 15 – 20 mins to get everything done. I don’t have any complaints about LabCorp itself, I just wish it was easier to find. Overall the business itself wasn’t a bad experience.

If you choose this LabCorp be aware that it’s a little hard to find. It’s inside the Emory medical building on the 14^th floor so when you arrive walk to the elevators in the back of the building (behind information desk) and take those up. I went in without an appointment at 10:30 am and the waiting room was packed, so even though they don’t request you make an appointment it’s not a bad idea to do it anyway. Service was polite. The wait was somewhat long but I think that could be remedied with an appointment made in advance. Perfectly good option if you need blood testing/​drug testing downtown as long as you don’t get easily lost like I do :) if you do, just follow the directions up above and you’ll find it in a snap. One more tip: The parking garage is huge and was also packed but they do have a valet service, so if you don’t mind tipping a few bucks your car gets parked on a lower level in reserved valet spaces and you’ll save yourself some time!

This office is less than the one star given. There are seven people in this office and I have seen three ppl leave out and they have yet to call anyone of the seven waiting people to the back. Now I will say that I do not know why five of these people are waiting however this one lady spoke out to why she has been waiting for nearly two hours and the lady at the window explained to her that she couldn’t find her orders from the doctor. Apparently the young man didn’t put her orders where he should have. Nite here is the gotcha another woman has just walked in and they took her for her urine test after three minutes of waiting for her urine test. I know that is what I needed to have done and I was here first. When in Dunwoody it was literally walk in and out and I wouldn’t even bother if I didn’t have to pay for parking already. Y’all need to work on your customer service skills and organization.

So, if you’re going to get lab work or drug screen, take a right on the street just before the emory medical facility. You will see a parking lot on your right. Park there (there’s a fee), and then head across the street into the emory medical facility. Inside the building, you will see a first set of guest services who will then direct you to take a right, follow the path past the café to the next set of guest services. They will then direct you to go to the elevators on the left to the 14^th floor to room 1460. When I arrived, the room was packed. It’s highly recommended that you make an appointment so that you’re not waiting for a very long time. Driving through mid tone is very tedious. The facility was mostly kept up, nothing fancy but not horrible.

Where do I start? I’ll start with the bottom line — do not go here. Do not use LabCorp. Save your senses, your time, and your credit card statement.
I came here for routine lab work and was greeted with a crowded, stinky waiting room and a nonplussed, completely checked out worker (with filthy nails — just what I want to see at a medical facility) at the front desk. The waiting room was scary and I was afraid to touch anything. I could only hope that a pristine, non-​smelly area would greet me behind the curtain. I also hoped that the worker with the dirty nails was not drawing blood from anyone.
The wait was horrendous and lengthy (over an hour) and when I went back to have my blood drawn, it appeared clean enough. But I was greeted by another completely checked out staff person who looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there. I just prayed that she would be concerned enough to stick me with the needle correctly. I’m guessing LabCorp is a very unhappy place to work based on how the workers there acted.
As I left, the waiting room was still stinky and crowded and devoid of anything that might make your wait more pleasant. No magazines, no television with medical tv on it and no air freshener. Nothing.
Weeks after I left the stinky place, what awaits me? A large, strange, unauthorized credit card charge from Lab Corp. Nice. I will never, ever use Lab Corp again. I only went here because my doctor said I could go to another lab if it would be more convenient. Going forward, I will make the ride to my doctor’s office for lab tests, rather than experience the laboratory mill environment that is Laboratory Corporation of American. Yuck. I still feel dirty.

Go to ANY other one. Have been waiting here over an hour, it would seem only one person works at this location. Also there is no way to speak to a human on the phone.

I visited this LabCorp to take a drug test for a new job. The office is located inside the Emory University Hospital Midtown Medical Office Tower. There is parking in a designated lot that is not validated by LabCorp. (I was there for about 40 minutes, and I paid 4.00.)
When I arrived, no one was at the desk and there was no bell/​buzzer to ring to get someone. I could hear people talking so I yelled, «Hello,» four times over the span of about 10 minutes. A guy finally came out and had me sign in. (He left a few minutes later. This may explain why he wasn’t too interested in coming to the front. I probably interrupted him packing up for the day.)
After the wait to sign in, the test went quickly, and the person administering the test was very professional and polite. I haven’t taken a drug test in over 10 years, and it hasn’t changed.
Tip 1: The door to the office is plain wood with a small sign indicating LabCorp. The office is to the left of the large, glass-​walled and brightly lit HealthMart on the 14^th floor.
Tip 2: I didn’t make an appointment, but that is an option.
