Unilab Quest Diagnostics

The waiting room is extremely small. I got here right when it opened with 6 others waiting in line. I was greeted by the staff. Sara was the friendliest. It’s a bit of a mess even when you have a appointment. Waited 25 minutes before I was seen so I advise getting here early cause as I was leaving the waiting room was full.

This is a normal blood draw facility.
It is hard to decide if it should even be reviewed but since it is an option I will.
For being the mid town blood draw facility the waiting room is really small.
There is always a long line in which most people have to wait outside sittibg on planters.
The staff is obviously miserable with their career choice because they never smile, make you feel better when having 7 tubes of blood taken from you or for the hour long wait you endured.
Go to the MFA quest diagnostics, no wait, friendly staff!

Easiest blood draw I have had in 31 years! Ask for Terry.
After chemotherapy I have tiny thin veins and am extremely apprehensive about getting blood drawn. After 8 sticks without success I leave. I put off going for my lab work for over 2 weeks just worrying about the blood draw. They will try anything, back of hands, feet, you name it… all the sensitive areas that really hurt.
Amazing but true… Terry did ONE painless stick in my arm and was able to fill over 12 tubes of blood samples without the vein collapsing. She was friendly, funny, fast and professional. Apparently all the staff is new since June 2011 and they luckily got really great people!
No one at Quest asked me to do a review, I’m not a relative or friend… I’m just ecstatic that they have fantastic professional staff at Quest on Olive in Merced. I just walked in (about 12:15, lunch time!), had no appointment, the waiting room was nearly full but I only had to wait about 15 minutes.

Very rude staff. Not a single response or eye contact after a hearty ‘good morning!’ A single ‘hi’ never hurt anyone. Also not at all helpful — not all guests have been there before. Shoving a form and having to wait 20 minutes before any acknowledgment when standing at the counter is not very helpful. Total wait is 1 hour 20 minutes for 1 vial of blood. The wait wasn’t the irritating part– it was the complete lack of involvement or appreciation of the staff for their customers. Your guests are sick, and/​or fasting, meaning they are hypoglycemic and are not feeling well. Having a full bladder is also no fun. A smile and some eye contact wouldn’t hurt.
