My sweet 5 year old was showing signs of having an ear infection. Called to see what wait times were like, and they got us in within an hour or so of calling. Probably the best urgent care wait system I’ve ever seen! So impressed with all of the staff! My son loved his nurse! Thank you guys for making going to the dr painless!

Blood Test FAQs

  • Where can I get a blood test in Maple Valley?

    In general, blood tests are available at Maple Valley-area medical labs, urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices, and many local pharmacies. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you have your blood work results sooner.

  • How can I book a blood test in Maple Valley?

    Regardless of the kind of blood test you are seeking, Solv can help you book an appointment. Simply search for Maple Valley-area labs and healthcare providers, filter by the test you want and find a top-rated blood testing location. Be sure to include “blood testing” as the reason for visit.

  • Where can I get blood work after hours in Maple Valley?

    Outside routine work hours, most Maple Valley labs and primary care offices are closed, however, most of the area’s urgent care and retail clinics are open later than typical business hours and on weekends. Book an after-hours visit to get prompt, no-hassle care and get your blood test results faster.

  • Can I make a same-day appointment for blood work in Maple Valley?

    Same-day and next-day appointments for many blood tests can easily be booked directly through Solv. Simply search for Maple Valley-area providers, find a lab or draw station, and book the most convenient time for you. Be sure to include “blood work” as your reason for visit.

  • How do I find the best labs for blood testing in Maple Valley?

    Solv gathers ratings, reviews, and other data on Maple Valley-area labs and healthcare providers to ensure the providers meet our high standards. Search for blood work providers, see what previous patients think, and book an appointment with a top-rated lab or clinic today!

  • Who should get a blood test?

    Blood tests provide a valuable look at your overall health and blood work should be done at least once a year. They offer a great way to catch illness or disease early on, or see how you are progressing with on-going treatment. Your doctor or healthcare provider typically orders blood tests for you during an annual physical or as necessary for a specific diagnosis. It’s possible to order your own blood tests without a doctor, particularly for things like STD tests or hemoglobin A1c tests.

  • Are video visits available for blood work in Maple Valley?

    While a blood test cannot be performed over video, your doctor can both initially prescribe blood tests using telemedicine, and review results with you virtually.

  • How much does a blood test cost in Maple Valley?

    Without insurance, blood work typically costs between $50 to $1,000, or sometimes more depending on the specific tests and the provider type you are having the tests performed at. At-home tests are available in most areas and could cost substantially less. Book a consultation with a lab testing provider in Maple Valley today to get more details on the specific blood work you are looking for.

  • How long do blood tests take?

    Blood tests can be performed either in-office or performed on samples that are sent to an outside lab. The collection itself should only take a few minutes, and the results could be ready within a few hours or up to one to two weeks depending on the test you are getting done. Once you’ve received your results, your doctor can discuss them with you either in-person, on the phone, or through a video visit.

  • Is blood work covered by my insurance?

    Most common blood tests are covered under insurance plans, particularly when your doctor orders them as part of an annual physical or supporting a diagnosis. If you are self prescribing the test, however, it may not be covered by insurance. If you have questions about your specific insurance coverage, it is best to contact your carrier or your provider.

Recent Blood Test Reviews (20)

Usually when I have to get my blood taken i get stuck 2 or 3 times. Sometimes even more. The lady that took care of me got it right the first time. I cant remember her name,but she was so nice, and everyone else was to.

- Verified patient on 3/4

Once again, on very short notice, I was treated with kindness and respect. From the receptionist who quickly and efficiently made my visit the best to the young lady who took my blood pressure and made me feel at ease, I say thank you. The doctor listened to me, set me up with a specialist and made me understand my course of treatment.

- Verified patient on 9/29

Everyone was very courteous and professional and handled my blood draw very well. I continue to be impressed with how well this is run. I also appreciate how well the receptionist handled all the patients that came in while I was wait. She is very user friendly and has a great disposition.

- Verified patient on 2/4

Awesome staff. They're humans and did not draw blood! The location and set up is a little ghetto, lol, but still better than other drive-thru testing places.

- Verified patient on 2/2

The three lady’s (did not get names) who helped me get a recliner and took my blood, they were so great and understood everything I needed. They were quick and efficient in sticking me once to get my blood needed.

- Verified patient on 1/12

I got there too early. The Solv app does not work. I had to re-enter all my information every single time to check where I was on the list for service. Once inside the young man who met us at the door and performed the blood pressure, heat rate etc. was fantastic, as was the doctor on call who checked our respiration etc. Both were knowledgeable, kind, competent and fast. We took the test to comply with reduced isolation/ quarantine. It was a Vacation re-entry Covid test.

- Verified patient on 11/19

Wonderful young woman who did my blood draw. Don't remember her name but she was so kind and helpful. I was dehydrated so it was hard to get a stick, but she got it done while explaining why it was hard to get my blood as well as being gentle.

- Verified patient on 11/27

It was smooth sailing! My wait time was about 15 minutes, and the Staff was very friendly. The young lady that drew my blood was painless. Good job!

- Verified patient on 8/25

Honestly amazing. The staff were so kind and patient. Desire, I know I spelled her name wrong, was so amazing! I had to get blood work and she did it so smooth and painless. Easiest blood draw I have ever had.

- Verified patient on 11/16

The doctor Jamie, I believe was great. Personable and zeroed in nicely on the key issues of my chief complaint. The person who took my blood needs a review on her technique. After placing the needle in the vain she didn't stabilize her hand holding the needle causing continual pain and slow emission of blood. After 2 viles gave up on right arm and after unsuccessful attempt on left arm had Dr Jamie do it and then there was no pain and no problem obtaining the last vile of blood.

- Verified patient on 9/20

There was a bit of a wait which is unusual for this location. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable so it for sure makes up for it. It seemed there was only one person taking blood draws and usually there is 2.

- Verified patient on 8/28

Beginning with the parking lot being specifically for vaccine participants , to all of the staff and volunteers , the experience was a positive one . I was very anxious and did experience a racing heart beat and notified the staff ten minutes after being vaccinated . They were very attentive, took me to a smaller room with fewer people and monitored my vitals for about thirty minutes Kay , the EMT with me was very helpful and reassuring . My blood pressure started a bit high , due to my anxiety , but came down within the thirty minutes . I was very impressed by the way that The Swedish Hospital system coordinated.the vaccine clinic

I’ve had a lot of blood draws over my years and this had to be the most pleasant, quickest and pain free draws I’ve experienced. I almost didn’t feel the prick which, to a whimp who hates getting stuck, that’s a big deal. And the phlebotomist was so pleasant to talk with. Great job and thank you.

- Verified patient on 5/17

Upon arrival the staff immediately knew something was wrong with me they took me into the examination room right away when they could not find my blood pressure and I was on the verge of passing out every doctor and nurse ran in to help me they called an ambulance I am forever grateful for the prompt response and wonderful bedside manner I would thoroughly recommend prohealth a Little Neck neck

Crissy (still may have misspelled that even though I asked 3 times) took my bloodwork and I was in and out in 2 minutes. Have hard veins got me first time and had a nice talk. Great experience!

- Verified patient on 2/18

I knew I had a bladder infection, since I had the same symptoms about 2 years ago. They took a urine sample, took my blood pressure, asked me some medical questions, and sent out for my prescription. Service was excellent, and staff were courteous.

- Verified patient on 3/17

The technician who drew my blood samples was excellent.. barely felt anything. Usually I get the barely trained rookie. Big difference in the level of care by a seasoned professional who is committed to the comfort of patients.

- Verified patient on 3/26

Went immediately to JM ER as directed. Had ultrasound on my bladder which was empty so no need for catheter which you had wanted to do but you were out of them so I was lucky there. Another urinalysis and culture performed both negative. Blood tests show high white cell count. Prescribed antibiotics. Still feel terrible, tired, weak, no appetite. Earliest appointment for urologist is next Monday afternoon. Thanks Craig

The tests themselves take only a few minutes and usually are performed by a nurse or technician where they:

  1. Clean the area where they will draw blood from, usually your upper arm
  2. Tie a band to your upper arm to make your veins more visible
  3. Put a needle gently into a vein to draw blood into the attached tube
  4. Remove the needle, then the band from the vein when complete
  5. Cover the draw site with a bandage

Risks associated with blood work are very low, but could possibly include slight pain or discomfort at the draw site, dizziness or even fainting from blood loss, or vein puncture. It’s important to discuss any concerns you may have with your medical provider before the procedure begins.
