I was able to choose a Labcorp 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 can’t express enough how wonderful this facility was for my family . From the front desk to the nurse and Heath care provider we had the best treatment. Everyone was super friendly and treated my daughter with the best care . I expect a wait in an urgent care but we waited no time . We did sign in on line the front desk called us immediately to come in and fill paper work out before our scheduled time . Flawless!! Thank you to all the staff you are doing an amazing job !
