Lab testing

A great experience for something I had a lot of anxiety about. Had no wait time or issues at the testing center/lab. Had blood drawn at 3pm and had results by email at 9am the next morning.

I have been bringing my children to Night Lite Pediatrics since they were young, so probably 16 years or so. It's not always perfect, but overall, the staff is friendly, doctors knowledgable, and wait time minimal. It is an urgent care, so sometimes we have to wait, but we can see into the back and you can tell that they're working as hard as they can.

I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.
