I was able to choose a Quest lab 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.

Walked in May 3 or 4 patients were front of me. The waitingvm wasn’t long at all. Dr was spot on. I know my body and the medications were in line with my symptoms. Gave me on instructions of returning if necessary. I would recommend Mordern MD; they are my go to medical care center, since most regular physicians appointments are booked weeks in advance.
