Pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to walk in and get a blood test that was requested by my physician. The space is on the 6th floor, very clean and with a nice view. Had to register on the ipad when walked in and then my initials appeared on the TV screen showing place in line and approximate wait time. I only had to wait 3 minutes after entering my information and was called into one of the rooms. The nurse took my insurance information and after entering it into the computer started drawing blood.
The reason I gave 3 star is that the vials they use for collection have needles attached to them directly - not through a long cord attached to the needle. As a result every time the phlebotomist had to change the vial she pushed it into the needle hub and after 5 vials I felt that most of the needle was inside my arm and it was quite painful. Having blood drawn many times before I have to honestly say I never felt so much discomfort. I feel they need to give them better blood drawing equipment and care more about patient s comfort. The nurse was very nice I have to say , and probably did her best with the supplies she had .
