Northwell Labs at Wading River — Local services in Town of Riverhead

STAY CLEAR! it's not very often I leave a negative review about a business but if I could rate this place 0 stars I certainly would.

The draw could not have possibly been worse. I made it very clear to the tech as soon as they walked in that sometimes it takes a little work to find a vein to draw from. Well even though they acknowledged what I said, they certainly were not listening. At that point they tied me off and immediately plunged the needle in. Once they realized they didn't hit anything (as I warned them they wouldn't) they attempted to fish around for a few seconds before half wrapping a bandage around my arm.

With both arms now half bandaged (as the wrappings immediately started becoming undone) they look at me and say "Well looks like I'm going to have to go through your hand" maintaining my composure I advised them that there has never been a need for that to which they followed up with "so, I guess this isn't happening today" ...seriously?

I can understand not getting a "please" when ordered to hold a piece of gauze nor a "thank you" but at no point did I even receive any sort of apology for all the misses and rush job that was performed.

The only reason I came here was because my doctors have recently noted that my previous lab has been having delays in relaying results. Well after coming here I realized that I don't care if I have to hand deliver my results to them myself. So battered and bruised I give you this warning. Beware the butcher of...

Went to wading river Northwell lab 8/28/ 2024 at approximately 12:20 Pm. Had approximately less than 10 minute wait, while paperwork was being completed, technician Mitchell was very courteous and professional. After paperwork was completed he also performed the lab work.

I have used northwell health labs in wading river several times and each time I went I had the pleasure of getting a man named Mitchell and my experience was more than ok! I’m not an easy patient due to my small veins but every time I had him he was compassionate and very professional! Never was there an issue! He always did the blood draw on the first try! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! I will be recommending Mitchell...
