I would give 5 stars for the lab service, but none at all for the medical director. I have had 4 broth cultures done with their lab over the last year, totalling over 1000 out of pocket. They have been the best for helping diagnose a resistant, recurrent uti I've been dealing with. I called today with one simple question about whether it would be possible to transfer my next positive specimen to another lab for specialized sensitivity testing as the lab only tests a limited number of antibiotics, all of which the bacteria I have has become resistant to. I was transferred to speak with the medical director as the rep who answered the phone didn't know. But instead of a simple yes or no, the medical director deflected my question and lectured me for 20 minutes on what I already know about the test, the bacteria, the treatment (my doctor has already prescribed the 5 different indicated antibiotics over the last year and it keeps coming back). I kept trying to ask the medical director my one question and he'd would counter with another irrelevant personal question or irrational statement, getting more worked up as he went on. It was like he was training for a debate rather than talking to a patient. Finally, he launched into a rant against other labs and doctors who treat this infectious bacteria outside the urinary tract (which is where it reinfects the bladder from) saying they should lose their licenses and then hung up on me. I still don't have an answer to my question, although I have to assume it's a no and he just didn't want to say out of embarrassment and/or ignorance. I am shocked and dismayed that this arrogant guy is in charge of the lab and the clinic. They offer an advanced and important array of tests and so it's especially weird that the doctor would be so uninformed and bad at interacting with patients.

There seems to be only one phlebotomist for the lab, and she is almost never in. Every time I came in I spoke to someone different. No one who works there seems to be sure of the Phlebotomist’s hours, but they can tell you she is not in today or won’t be until later that day (maybe). If you need bloodwork (especially fasting) you are better off driving a few miles to Quest Labs on Chain Bridge in McLean. They have longer hours and more than one phlebotomist.

After reading all of the other reviews, I do not have a similar experience as those. My doctor uses this lab to send to receive my results, and I receive results within 2-3 days (including weekend). I agree with the response from the lab on another person's review, it all depends on the type of test they are doing, and it does take time, if you want accurate results, you won't want the results to be rushed to the extreme. I also agree with another review that this lab is much faster than the other 2 labs. I don't have anything negative about this lab.

I had to get bloodwork done on 09/13/2019 and chose this place because it is accessible by public transit and the phlebotomist was nice and so was the receptionist. I was surprised at how quickly the lab results were processed and faxed over.

This lab is incredibly slow. We used this lab only because they were open on Saturday and needed results early the next week. Mid week, still no results. Don't waste your time coming here. Lots of other alternatives in our area.
