My husband needed regular blood testing for a while, and the doctor's office had a staff technician from Lab Corp on premises.
Our insurance had a contract with another lab, who did not provide a professional to take the blood, and we had to travel to Ashland for the initial testing.
We decided to go with the Lab Corp just for convenience sake, and it ended up being much better service. The technician was much more "professional" in her blood taking procedure, the service was much faster than the "other lab" and we had the results back next day, rather than a week later.
We actually had to pay for this service, because the agreement with the other lab and the insurance company was "free", but the minimal charges we did receive made it much better for us to stick with Lab Corp rather than having to go to Ashland and use the other lab.
These folks are very professional and their service is very quick and accurate. I prefer them and found paying the minimal charges well worth it.
