Quest Diagnostics

Was quick. In and out. I am usually hard to get blood from and find a vein he was fast and painless. Thanks

Who staffs a lab with only one person for checking in AND drawing samples? Really??? Feels like a Soviet-​era medical experience. Quest. What a racket. Only game in town for most insurance coverage. I’ve been to several in town and it’s always the same crappy experience.

I admit, I was biased before I got here. As a medical professional, I’m used to dealing with Quest from the the other end of things, and I’m not a fan. As a patient, well… I’m still not a huge fan. But there are exceptions to this…
Let’s start with the negative:
Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, expect to be seen in a timely manner. This place feels like the DMV, except they take your blood instead of your money. I think the same people who always seem to be at the DMV must come to Quest on their days off. Crowded waiting room, unsupervised children, people who don’t realize their smart phone aps can be turned to silent, and every body’s favorite: the questionable personal hygiene folks.
I also don’t understand why every time I go, everyone else seems to be in the back for 15 minutes, but I’m in and out in 1. What are they doing back there? It’s a lab collection station, not a place for a full physical exam!
Also, I made the mistake of waiting outside of the building a half hour before opening. I was waiting at the locked door JUST under the Quest suite, until I looked in the window and noticed there was already a line at the suite door inside!!! I went all the way around the building and got into the OTHER door, and was 4^th in line. So much for trying to beat the crowd and get to work on time!
OK, so not EVERYTHING is bad:
Like I said, once I finally get called back, it’s quick and easy. The phlebotomists are usually really friendly, and (as someone who gets blood draws with the same frequency as most people have bowel movements) some of the least painful draws I’ve ever experienced.
I’ll end up coming back more than I care to, but at least the staff is pretty good, and now I know the trick to go to the OTHER door if I’m trying to get there early!

I usually go to this location but they lady I always see was not there. So I signed in waited and waited 6 people in waiting room and crap they all went before me !!! worker apologized. lucky I did not have anywhere else to run off to

Ive had to go here several times, and not only is it not very busy, but the employee is kind, reassuring, and amazing! I actually look forward to catching up with her when I go in!

I went to the Quest on 77 Cadillac Drive #280, Sacramento, CA 95 825
While the lady was somewhat nice and in a hurry she still did a horrible job. My whole inner arm is black blue and green. I had to get a total of 4 blood draws in 6 days. My last 2 were done with her and both times my arms bruised badly. I didn’t have that happen at an out of town Quest lab. I will never go here again.
