Default LabCorp

Has anyone had problems with going to LabCorp for their blood tests? I went their and they screwed up my tests by not testing for everything. They missed some tests and tested for things they were not checked off.

I was not too thrilled about the person working there. It was one lady and she was answering the phone, drawing blood and doing everything. She was all alone. I've gone to Quest Labs in the past and they have entire staffing available. With LabCorp it was one person running the entire office.

Now I question whether or not my lab test results are accurate?? Makes me uneasy...

I'd even question whether the results are even yours. That's scary. I don't like LabCorp. I've only been there 2 times and both times the staff seemed disorganized and unfriendly. Plus, of the times I went in there, one time I was the only one and another time there were 2 of us. Both times I had to wait almost 30 to 40 minutes. The people in the back were just hanging out talking. I now avoid them as much as I can.

I would discuss this with your dr and see if you can go to another lab, if your insurance allows it, or retest.

It was the same way for me. The one-person staff was rude and completely disorganized. How could they have just one person answering phones, drawing blood, doing paperwork, etc?

With Quest Labs there was at least 2-3 front desk staff members and numerous staff drawing blood. At least 6-12 people working there.

I will try and get retested using Quest Lab.

If you do a Google search on LabCorp, not too many nice things are said about them.
