Best medical lab in Brick, New Jersey (NJ) 2024

I should have turned around and left right from the start. The phlebotomist who call me into the office did so with an annoyed tone to her voice. I followed her into the room and placed my water bottle onto the "her" table and was abruptly told "take that water bottle off my table." There wasn't anywhere to place my things so I held my bag and bottle in my lap. Next, she proceeded to scold me for not making an appointment. When I explained that I had made an appointment on line she argued with me as if I was lying. Then, I explained that I have gone to three other Quest labs in the last two weeks and each unsuccessfully got my labs completed. She then scoffed at her colleagues lack of skills as if they were incompetent. She was so rude and unprofessional that I asked her if I should leave. I told her she seems annoyed or angry with me and I wasn't sure why. She said she wasn't and that I should stay. I am a cancer surviver and have had more lab tests done than I can count. I was obviously there because I am having health issues and she showed no compassion at all. Instead of making a rather stressful situation less stressful, she made it tens times worse with her tone of voice and poor attitude. She tried twice to get the blood but was unsuccessful as was her colleague with whom she called in to try also. Again, unsuccessful. At this point, I was so upset and stressed that I excused myself and left. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. This woman needs a lesson or two in compassion and empathy. Do yourself a favor and go to LabCorp. ~Jack
