The Quest Diagnostics difference. Bringing together quality, speed, and technology to power advanced, affordable diagnostics for all. No trade-offs required.
My tech was extremely friendly and very competent. Made the experience very enjoyable. Would recommend him for anyone wanting to get blood taken.

I arrived first thing in the morning for a scheduled appointment, only to be met by a dismissive staff member who informed me—quite flippantly—the internet was down m, not only today, but the entire day prior as well. Despite being aware of this ongoing issue, the facility made no effort to notify patients with appointments. There was no outreach, no attempt to obtain backup copies of lab orders, and no contingency planning whatsoever.
What was most concerning was not just the lack of preparedness, but the complete indifference. There was no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, no apology, and no attempt to problem-solve or offer alternatives. Patients were simply turned away after showing up as scheduled.
For a healthcare service that relies heavily on coordination and communication, this level of disorganization and disregard for patients’ time is unacceptable. At minimum, basic courtesy and proactive communication should be standard practice. This experience reflects a significant lapse in professionalism and patient care.

Had horrible experience! Will never go back. There is no one in the waiting room to help you check in. Everything is done by computer. If you can’t figure it out there is a Locked door and if someone bothers to answer it, all they will say is, load your information on the computer. If you can’t figure out the computer, you are out of luck. I went in at 2:00 pm on a Tuesday to get labs. There was no one in the lobby. When I finally figured out the computer, I was supposed to wait three hours to get my blood drawn. When I returned to get my blood drawn, there was still no one in the lobby to tell them I was there. When I knocked on the Locked door. No one showed up. Finally someone showed up to draw my blood. No one in the lobby, two people in back. Couldn’t someone answer a bell or check on the front door. We are human beings, not cattle. The waiting area smelled awful and was extremely hot. I do not recommend this facility at all!!
Frequently Asked Questions About Quest Diagnostics
What do I need to know before I arrive at a Quest Patient Service Center?
Please be aware that when you visit a Quest Patient Service Center:
• Scheduled appointments are strongly encouraged and will receive priority. Please arrive and check in 10 minutes before your appointment time. If you check in more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, you will be served as a walk-in.
• If you walk in, you will have to wait for the next available opening.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Scheduled appointments are strongly encouraged and will receive priority. If you walk in, you will have to wait for the next available opening.
Should I be fasting?
Fasting before a blood draw means you don’t eat or drink anything except water. If your test requires it, don't forget to fast for 8-12 hours before your appointment. If you’re not sure, contact your doctor's office. To learn more about how to prepare for your test, visit QuestDiagnostics.com/patients/get-tested/prepare/fasting for additional fasting information.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please arrive and check in 10 minutes before your appointment time. If you check in more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, you will be served as a walk-in.
You should bring the following to your appointment:
•A lab order from your doctor. If your doctor did not give you a paper order, check with them to see if they sent it electronically.
•Photo identification listing your first name, last name, and date of birth (for example, a driver's license, government issued photo ID, Passport, or Green Card).
•Current health insurance information.
•Credit, debit, or health savings card. You will be asked to preauthorize payment for any balance due after your insurance is billed.
It’s important to also know if your test requires fasting the day before and/or morning of your appointment. Your healthcare provider should have indicated this on your lab order or during your visit. Learn more about fasting before a lab test.
Note: Childcare is not available and the waiting area is not attended. Some testing protocols, such as drug screenings or pre-employment screenings, have strict rules which do not allow children to accompany the patient during sample collection. If you have questions about your testing protocols, please contact your healthcare professional or employer for additional information.
How do I check in when I arrive?
Sign in using the Check-in kiosk, or if not available, sign the clipboard at the front desk. Please be prepared to present a valid photo ID and insurance information. Be sure to mark the reason for your visit when signing in.
If you were unable to preregister ahead of time, and would like to do so, you may be able to complete the registration process if you arrive a few minutes early at a Quest Patient Service Center that has a Check-in kiosk. When you check in with your mobile number, you may be asked if you want to complete the registration process on your smartphone while you wait.
My doctor told me they would send over an order. Do you have it?
If your doctor said they would send us the order electronically or via fax, there is no need to confirm that we have the order. If we do not have the order, we will call the doctor to obtain it when you arrive at our Quest Patient Service Center. To prevent delays, be sure to visit our location during your doctor’s office hours or obtain a copy of your order from your doctor.
How soon after my visit will my doctor receive my lab test results?
Turnaround times for test results can vary. If you have a MyQuest account, your test results will be delivered to your account as soon as they are available. This can take 2-5 business days from the time the sample is received, depending on your test.
You should always follow up with your doctor to discuss your results.
