Easy to schedule. Filled everything online. Got in fast then waited 38 minutes to have anyone come into the room to talk to us. Nurse did vitals and ignored my child who was trying to answer her questions. Doctor was a bit after that and was quick and fine. Slightly abrupt and spoke down to my child when she asked about what a virus was and how sick she was. But overall it was fine for a quicker in and out experience.

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.
