#Quest diagnostics change appointment free

I was surprised at this downpour on me, coming out of nowhere at 8ish in the morning.

And that just because she is free and doing nothing I shouldn't assume that she has nothing else to do. While I was checked in and the only person waiting, she came and told me it could be 3 hours of wait.

Whether or not their system obviously is set up to allow walk ins. However the lady staff today morning was hell bent on not serving any walk ins. In my previous experience, I had walked in, was given a wait time of 15 minutes, got my blood drawn for lab work, was in and out in 30-40 minutes. I have been to this location before once, just few months ago. So finally after a month of scheduling and cancelling the appointments, decided to just walk in. On empty stomach, wasn't able to make any appointments as my mornings had been very busy and unpredictable at work. I had blood drawn for multiple tests and the first test result was back within 24hrs. The billing was also efficient as they were able to collect payment for the amount their system estimated insurance wouldn't cover and in the case where their system couldn't determine what my share would be, they said they'd just send a bill and collected the sample no problem. I do know these labs have a generally bad rep for long wait times, harried personnel, etc, but based on my one experience here, it went about as smoothly as it could. They do allow walk-ins and while I'd imagine they can't always accommodate you, the nice thing is you can pop in, see how many people are waiting in the waiting room, and then figure out whether they can get you in in the time you have. She explained that they only allow limited appointments given the single tech here, but that it's generally less hectic at these 'in-Safeway' labs vs the larger labs located in medical centers. There was only one tech (there's only one room anyway) and she was very nice and professional. I went at 9:20am and there was no one else there. I made an appointment to get blood drawn and it was an efficient process to book online, and the tablet kiosk allowed for easy check in and it scans your ID and insurance card to streamline the process.
