Booked a 4:00 appointment but waited 50 minutes. Everyone was very nice. But, the bathroom had a bunch of red residue from tape or something else all over

My son who is autistic barely tells his symptoms.  I was able to make an appointment with ease using the App and got an appointment for the same day I needed it.  Dr Fung was very nice and understood my son's condition.   We waited almost nothing.  I highly recommend this place.

After visiting Carbon about 10 days ago for an ear canal that was clogged with wax, my symptoms returned (ear pain, moist discharge from the ear canal.) So, unable to get an appointment with my PCP, I scheduled an appointment at Carbon. This time a different doctor saw me. As soon as she entered the room and asked me what was going on and learned that I had been using carbon oxide drops to try and re-clear my ear, she berated me and told me that I should not do that. She berated me over and over, like I was a stupid person, which put me off guard and had the effect of shutting me up. Then she looked in my ears and pronounced me to be healthy… nothing wrong. It felt like she wanted to be done with me. I told her that I had pain in my ear (to which she interrupted “take Advil”) and that every morning I woke up with a moist and slightly not nice smelling moist discharge coming from my ear. I asked if this is something that could be solved with antibiotics or steroids. She said she could give me prednisone “if I wanted” as if I would be the one to make the prescribing decision. Then I told her about the discharge and she said that she could give me some antibiotic drops, and that I should take Guifenesen. The doctor made very little effort to understand my issue and symptoms, and she had a pretty awful bedside manner. I would not want to see this doctor again. I left having zero sense of resolution, and zero confidence in the treatment plan she gave me. I guess I will try to see my PCP or go to an ENT. This was an awful waste of time and money. She prescribed antibiotic ear drops, and did not prescribe the prednisone.

Came in for an appointment and was seen almost instantly. I had to wait no longer than 5 minutes which is extremely quick compared to other offices I been to. The staff is very friendly and helped answer any questions I had. And scheduling an appointment is very easy it only took a few minutes to upload my information. I would definitely recommend this provider!

Wait time was good, got in at 1:40pm for my 1:30pm appointment. Staff was friendly and explained things to me. I did kind of get the impression that they were tired of me because I was trying to ask clarifying questions to make sure that later on I will not be thinking about the questions I was afraid to ask :P. It’s very easy for me to just accept what I’m told, and not ask anything, but I’m trying to learn to advocate for myself because it seems like that’s what is needed in healthcare. But I could tell they were definitely getting tired of me asking my dumb questions and just repeating answers they already gave because I was obviously didn’t hear it the first time. I probably need to work on my communication skills because I don’t feel like either of us felt like we were getting through to the other person. It felt like we both felt like we knew what the other person was saying and that they just weren’t willing to hear it.

Everything was great, especially my nurse practitioner. I have been there several times for everything from a broken bone to covid symptoms this time and it has always been excellent. Can't figured out the star system, but check the highest rating for me. Thanks for your help.

My husband & I tested positive for COVID this AM. We both were able to very conveniently make online appointments for medical evaluations within 30 minutes of our requests. The UC Village-Albany Urgent Care clinic is modern and attractive with highly efficient, very welcoming, friendly, professional & personable administrative and medical staffs. All of the medical personnel have very kind and empathetic bedside manners and listened very well to (and heard!) and were responsive to our medical concerns and questions. We both were in and out of our appointments within 30 minutes. We are very appreciative and truly grateful to have your clinic so conveniently located near our home. Please keep up the great work!

Wait time was unexpectedly long!  I was there for one hour and 15 mins for an EKG the order was sent the day before so that was not the problem. Was called 15 mins after my scheduled appt and there was only one other person in the waiting room when I was called. Also when I arrived there was one person ahead of me.  Provider was very good and staff friendly. The assistant who who performed the EKG was great knowledge about the procedure. After the procedure I had a wait again another 15 mins.

I am from out of state visiting in the area. I chose this facility from reading the reviews and roughly knew the area of the location. I made an online appointment. From the moment I walked into the facility, being seen and treated, I have nothing but praise and respect for the staff as well as the care I received. I’m this day and age and just visiting with having an unfortunate reason to be seen/treated I was completely satisfied. A little more pricey than I expected but what can I say? Thank you just the same for your professionalism.

The attending doctor was very efficient and understanding.  I ended up with an injection that stopped severe itching within 15 minutes of leaving the facility.  Her decision was right on.  I found the entire staff to be very warm.  Excellent health care.

This place is a hidden gem! I always try and avoid urgent care places as it’s usually a long wait, lots of people, not the cleanest and just difficult. But here, once I arrived the check in was seamless, the staff was friendly, the office very clean. And to top it off my doctor spent so much time with me ane was kind and listened. Highly recommend!

Silly you changed the time for the drug screen. But I was Able to get my blood drawn. Awesome friendly staff. Very clean.

- Verified patient on 3/5

I LOVE Dr. Sarac-Leonard. I am very grateful to have her as my doctor. I will say that I waited a long time in the lab. The woman who finally drew my blood was very nice, but the wait was very long.

- Verified patient on 2/26

Very short wait. One jab to get the blood is always a relief. The weakest link in the whole process is that sign in iPad. Several people were struggling with it while we were there and the front desk person was at lunch so nobody could help them.

- Verified patient on 6/1

I haven’t found a primary care physician yet and I needed my blood pressure medicine refilled. I saw Dr. Tweedy who was very easy to talk to. He took care of what I needed right away.

- Verified patient on 6/16

Young lady doing my blood draw was very friendly. Explained everything and seemed to be very thorough in what she was doing . Knowledgeable. Would absolutely come back here again. Staff up front checking is was wonderful . I like going somewhere where the staff is friendly . A lot of places their staff is grumpy which makes your visit crappy. This place was nice. Thank you

- Verified patient on 10/19

I went in immediately. Staff was friendly and attentive to my needs. Blood draw was painless. I am a hard draw usually, but this man knew what he was doing.

I am 82 years old with a considerable ill health, but I have never been anxious about blood work since using Compunet. Quick, clean, painless. Zip, zip, and you're ready to go out for lunch!

- Verified patient on 2/5

I’ve been coming here for years. Thank you for your kindness and care. The tech that took care of my blood draw was just great. Arrived at 7:30 I live 10 minutes away and I was home at 8:05 Nice!! Kenny M.

- Verified patient on 1/28

My appointment was for 9 am but I didn't get taken until 9:30. In their defense there were a lot of patients waiting. There should be something better in place for the intake person. When people are waiting out in the hall she has to get up and go out to call them in. This is not efficient nor fair to your employee. She was very good natured, in good spirits and a delight as was the lady who took my blood.

- Verified patient on 11/19

All staff were caring and friendly. I was looked after by Dr Rana & Islam. Examinations, Bloods & Xrays were all done at the location and the referrals taken care of quickly. Thank you

- Verified patient on 2/18

The doctor was great, the phlebotomist not so much. After 3 sticks he couldn't get blood, I told him where to stick me, and he didn't. Also, I went over to Lab Corp and the tech there got me with the first stick. She used a syringe to draw the blood, something your guy never tried.

- Verified patient on 5/29

I was in and out quickly. There was basically no wait time. The check in process was easy. The staff was courteous, kind and knowledgeable. The woman who did my blood work knew exactly what she was doing. I felt safe and comfortable. I will most definitely be coming back when I need lab work done in the future.

- Verified patient on 7/12

Had a 12 and 1 appointment for covid antigen test. Showed up 1/2 hour early to let them know we were outside. Got some additional paperwork to fill out. At *** we were told they were ready for us. Staff took weight, blood pressure, then nurse swabbed for a tigers. Dr came in to do a lung test, and other tests and let us know test results would be printed out and given to us shortly - - turned out to be less than fifteen minutes. Completely satisfied.

About Blood Tests

Blood tests are used as valuable snapshots of your current overall health and can be an effective way of catching illness or disease early, or measuring how you are reacting to new or on-going treatment. There are a variety of types of blood work with most common tests being complete blood counts (CBC), complete and basic metabolic panels (CMP, BMP), thyroid panels, nutrient tests, and sexually transmitted disease (STD) tests.

Each of these blood tests are fairly common and can be performed in a variety of settings including testing labs, primary care offices, urgent care centers, and even retail clinics and some pharmacies. Solv even has clinic partners in the San Mateo-area that offer online scheduling, allowing you to book a visit convenient to your schedule and skip the wait. The tests themselves take only a few minutes and usually are performed by a nurse or technician where they:

  1. Clean the area where they will draw blood from, usually your upper arm
  2. Tie a band to your upper arm to make your veins more visible
  3. Put a needle gently into a vein to draw blood into the attached tube
  4. Remove the needle, then the band from the vein when complete
  5. Cover the draw site with a bandage

Risks associated with blood work are very low, but could possibly include slight pain or discomfort at the draw site, dizziness or even fainting from blood loss, or vein puncture. It’s important to discuss any concerns you may have with your medical provider before the procedure begins.

  • Who should get a blood test?

    Blood tests provide a valuable look at your overall health and blood work should be done at least once a year. They offer a great way to catch illness or disease early on, or see how you are progressing with on-going treatment. Your doctor or healthcare provider typically orders blood tests for you during an annual physical or as necessary for a specific diagnosis. It’s possible to order your own blood tests without a doctor, particularly for things like STD tests or hemoglobin A1c tests.

  • Are video visits available for blood work in San Mateo?

    While a blood test cannot be performed over video, your doctor can both initially prescribe blood tests using telemedicine, and review results with you virtually.

  • How much does a blood test cost in San Mateo?

    Without insurance, blood work typically costs between $50 to $1,000, or sometimes more depending on the specific tests and the provider type you are having the tests performed at. At-home tests are available in most areas and could cost substantially less. Book a consultation with a lab testing provider in San Mateo today to get more details on the specific blood work you are looking for.

  • How long do blood tests take?

    Blood tests can be performed either in-office or performed on samples that are sent to an outside lab. The collection itself should only take a few minutes, and the results could be ready within a few hours or up to one to two weeks depending on the test you are getting done. Once you’ve received your results, your doctor can discuss them with you either in-person, on the phone, or through a video visit.

  • Is blood work covered by my insurance?

    Most common blood tests are covered under insurance plans, particularly when your doctor orders them as part of an annual physical or supporting a diagnosis. If you are self prescribing the test, however, it may not be covered by insurance. If you have questions about your specific insurance coverage, it is best to contact your carrier or your provider.
