I absolutely love Paula!! She is the best when it comes to phlebotomy! Every time I have gone to the Port St. Lucie Bioreference Lab, she has been so patient, helpful, and truly takes her time to truly understand each person and their specific situation. She really cares and it shows. It has never been more pleasant to get your blood drawn! Highly recommend Paula Bigelow next time you need to go for blood work.
