Labcorp

They failed to do a blood draw after numerous grueling attempts. It was awful and traumatized my kiddo to where we have to drag him to doctors, but before this experience he was totally fine with COVID-19 shot chain, flu shots, the standard vaccination schedule, etc. Labcorp put someone who was not skilled at drawing blood, as the person to do the blood draw on my THREE YEAR OLD. The needle was in his arm for MORE THAN TWENTY SECONDS, there were two people trying to do this and they were both digging and wiggling the needle in my toddler's arm, and they couldn't draw blood...so yeah of course he is gonna cry. This from the kiddo that was fine with COVID shots just a week or two before. I personally have had more than twenty blood draws in the last six months for my own health reasons, but rather than pulling the needle out, and trying to actually FIND the vein BEFORE sticking the needle in on the other arm, they were trying to tell me that because they had done this to other kids, it's totally normal, and kept wiggling the needle around in his and justifying their inability to get the thing to work rather than taking actions that would fix the situation. If wiggling the needle around didn't fix it the first twenty seconds why would the same action fix anything a few seconds later? Also, as far as other kids go, that was not reassuring at all...all it means is that other kids had similar poor service and awful experiences here. I feel really bad for the other kids in addition to cringing for my own kid. Having been on the receiving end of blood draws, I know you're supposed to get the patient to squeeze their hand while there's a rubber band on to get it to puff up a little more, and feel for a vein before actually stabbing a needle in. It was so cringey. They patted around and just stabbed in, and clearly missed, then wiggled and jiggled the needle around a lot. Soooooo cringey. It's probably going to leave a bruise. If it were an adult in that situation, it would've still sucked lots. But to do that to a three year old, that's rough. If it's a kid, especially a young kid, get someone who is highly skilled at doing that for that particular patient. Also, don't jab till you are sure. If you can't find the right spot, don't jab. People do not mind if you take two more minutes more to FIND the vein...people WOULD mind if you were to leave that needle in there for two minutes and wiggle it around like mad. If you fail, just acknowledge that, take the needle back out, and actually take enough time to locate the vein before jabbing a second time.

Douet was fantastic. I have small veins and typically have trouble with draws but she got it the first time and without difficulty. Douet was kind and had a great sense of humor. Ill be back whenever I need blood work!

The team at this location did an amazing job. I have a 6 year old daughter who has down syndrome. The team worked together and my daughter had her blood drawn with no issues. I definitely recommend for children. My daughter has had multiple surgeries and has had her blood drawn numerous times. This was, by far, her best experience.
