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 cannot say how grateful I am for the care I received from Doctors Kazanov and Wagner, the assistant as well. They care and do their very best to get you the help you need in a timely manner.
