I went and stood in line at 6:40 am. There were about 15 people in front of me. There were about 10 people behind me by the time they opened for business. Some people in front of the line waited with camping chairs. I called the day before and they told me Mondays and Fridays were their busiest days. They opened the door promptly at 7:00am. Parking is great at 6:40am.
I tried to make an appointment but all the morning times were taken for the upcoming two weeks so I went and took my chances. The man on the phone told me it would take about an hour.
We walked in single file they had three or four people helping out registering us in. They also had two people who called us up after we registered and took our paperwork. Everyone was nice.
Can you imagine coming to work and seeking that line everyday?
They have several rooms so the turn around time is not so bad. I'm sure they take the people with appointments on time. I was called in around 7:50? I was stuck in both arms because no blood came out from my first arm as I was dehydrated from fasting. She poked and spun the needle around and rotated it but no luck. I asked her to switch arms and my second arm was more generous. I was out of there by 8 am. The total experience was about an hour and a halfway. All in all not too bad.
Also, I noticed that hardly no one walked in after 7:45ish. I think there is a mad rush before people go into work.
They lady who took my blood, I think her name is Tony was super kind and friendly. They intake guy behind the counter was also really kind.
