I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

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.

Dr. Melanie Simpson was top notch I couldn't ask for a better person and loving heart with bedside manner of the best of the best gaurdian Angels. She actually takes the time to listen understands when your scared and walks you through what may be one the scariest things in your life. I don't know if I would have been up for such a fight with my diagnosises if I didn't have her there rooting for me all the way. She even pulled my kids and husband aside to answer any questions or calm some fears. Thank you for all your hard and amazing work.
