I had the same experience with this lab technician, Victor. He couldn’t find a vein and tried to draw blood from my wrist — it was extremely painful. At some point, I passed out from the pain. Later, another female technician took my blood from the other arm quickly and gently, without any issues. This was a very stressful and unpleasant experience. I don’t think Victor has the proper skills or experience to be working with patients.

This lab tech name Victor, looks like vietnamese, don't know how to get blood at all. He said he can't see my veins in my arms. He tried my right hand, after poking and moving the needle inside (was really painful) he said he can't get blood. He insert another needle to my other hand and do the same thing. He get some blood after moving the needle inside. My left hand was swollen and had big bruise right after the blood collection for a week now. Today, i went to the clinic for the result my lab test, some test was cancelled because it said there is a blood cloth in my test. I don't think this guy knew what he was doing. It was a terrible experience.

Terrible experience today with my child. We had an appointment booked for 3:50pm and the staff that was behind the desk was great. The other employees who were to take my son’s blood were rude and very mad that we had come in. We were asked multiple times if we had an appointment, and staff kept complaining that we were there that late. It is now 4:14 and we have left.. I do not understand why the staff were so incredibly uncompassionate to my son, he passed out when he had his blood take and the women did nothing to check and see if he was ok. I would not recommend this place to have blood taken with children.

Google Maps will take you close to the correct entrance. Go into Mall Entrance 5. As soon as you walk into the mall, please immediately turn right and walk into Marlborough Professional Building. Take the elevator to the fourth floor. They have free masks if you forgot to bring one, and it's free parking because of the mall. See attached photos!

Had a wonderful experience here, with friendly staff that were very accommodating to my elderly parents. We all had appointments, which helps tremendously, and the staff were very efficient.

My thanks to a great team!

I have been going to this lab for a few years with no issues. Today I got blood work done for 2 hormone levels, so not much blood taken.
The lab tech that took my blood inserted the needle and then reinserted the needle sideways into my arm. I have never in all my years of getting blood work done, have I ever felt so much pain.
She obviously needs more training, this should have not happened. My arm is still paining me an hour later. This was either done on purpose or lack of training.

Clean, busy place, but good service. Polite, Nice staff from the front desk to the medical tech. The total wait time for a walk-in, including the blood test, was only 30–40 minutes. Thank you, everyone!
