TL:DR...Even if this place is closer, spend the extra time and gas to find another one! Terrible service, terrible at their job, and I was handled by the young guy on my first visit. My OB and EHS used this lab. Ive been to this location twice and had a terrible experience everytime. My first experience was with my first trimester blood draw. The young girl (was being trained more than likely), stabbed and missed my vein 3 times before another lady took over, stabbed me once and missed, then stabbed again and finally got it. After 4 vials I started seeing lights and purple, I told them i was starting to pass out. The young guy came in and held me up til they were done, then he leaned me over and was rubbing my back! This was uncomfortable and unprofessional in my eyes. The second visit i went in for my second trimester blood draw and told them about me getting light headed. So they took me in to another room with a busted bed, that was caving in the center and lopsided..if you passed out on this you would roll off thats how slanted it was. It wasnt even a medical room, just a regular office room (creepy and unsanitary). Then a guy came in (different guy from my first visit) and set down a sharps container on a chair and ALL his supplies on the CHAIR...no paper or tray, nothing. Rinse and repeat from my first visit..stab me 3 times, grab someone else, they stab me and miss, but this time the lady was digging and sliding the needle in my arm!!!! By far the most painful blood draw in my life, I felt my arm bruising as she did it. After the visit there was a bruise 1 inch in diameter on my arm, i was unable to lift boxes at my job, or put any weight on it for 4 days! When my OB told me I need to get my glucose tolerance done I started dreading it and finding ways to get out of it. But then they told me they were done with Bio Data I almost cried tears of joy right there. I have never been so happy over labs in my life, in actually excited to go to this new lab because anywhere is better than Bio Data. Its amazing how a lab like this is allowed to operate.

Sorry for the long review: Specifically told them to draw from my left arm as its always the one that has been successful to draw from. The girl put the rubber band thing around my arm, and tried to find a vein in my left as I told her to. She found one but said it was very small, didnt seem to have very much experience. She asked what appeared to be the lead there and the lead said "Ill do it". I told her the same thing, she didnt listen, took the rubber band off of my left and placed it on my right, I told her "its not going to work, that vein likes to roll and hide". She tried any way, proceeded to dig around in my arm with the needle in all directions, sweeping side to side as well as in and out to try and find the vein until I started crying! (I have many tattoos and a high pain tollerance so this is a very significant point!) Returned the band to the left and even though the vein was "very small" it was easy to draw from, and no pain! Imagine that... They should listen when someone, who knows their own body, tells them which arm is easiest! I will not be returning here if I can help it!

I went over to this location at 4 oclock this afternoon and told me it was closed. Hours say they close at 5. Also< I know the best vein to take blood from but the people that take blood still search for other veins and poke me before they ask for somebody else to help. They do not listen to me.There is one person that gets it first time every time but he is not always available. I give it 2 stars only because of that one young man.

Ive been there on 3 separate occasions. Always got the same young guy who said he was great at finding veins. He wasnt. He dug in both arms every time and got NOTHING. I had to go to the emergency room and they found my vein in less than 30 seconds. Went to another Bio Data lab when one opened up nearby. They also found a vein in less than a minute. Bottom line: this guy must be somebodys nephew or something. Go elsewhere.

very unprofessional they dont know how to draw blood especially with the kids, I took my boys there and after pocking him 3 times he told me the boy is acting which was so annoying because the boy was calm. another thing is the same person who is acting as a secretary is still the one drawing blood. please dont take your kid there

Great place, the two main phlebotomists are great at what they do. They follow all procedures and do everything by the book. They look at all veins to make sure they find the best vein possible to poke and get done the first time. One of the best places I know to get my blood drawn from.

Staff is friendly and the place is clean. It is on the small side so it is best to call ahead if you are in a hurry. Some of the staff needs so retraining on how to deal with special needs children and children in general though.
