Best places: Medical labs in Oakland, United States

😠 I’m honestly bewildered with how bad (and unethical) my visit with our 4 day old was. I checked in with the front desk, and explicit told that I needed a test done, from my ped. Waiting, talked to the doctor, and the doctor brought the device over. It was then that the doctor told us that the de...

😠 Went to instant urgent care twice. Waited in the room for 45 minutes, and found out the front desk didn’t notice the doctor that I have checked in. The doctor was inpatient and not friendly. After two visits and payments, I decided not to go. But they had a system error and showed I didn’t pay. The...

👍👍 Went to have pre-surgery COVID test. My blood pressure was elevated and Fazila was so sweet and took such good care of me. They were all so wonderful! Thank you!

👍👍 Saw Dr. Rama for my sleep apnea and left with a sense of control over my sleep and life. A very thorough exam and I had a chance to try TMS. I haven't seen any other doc use CT imaging to sort out why I am not sleeping well. Well worth the time and highly recommend Sleep and Brain and Dr. Rama to...

😠 I had a series of unfortunate experiences at the Instant Care Clinic in San Ramon that left me frustrated and deeply dissatisfied with their services. My visits to the clinic were overshadowed by their handling of my billing and credit card information. To begin with, the clinic insisted on keeping...

😠 I reduce my rating to 1 star. My insurance company (should be good) told me the a large portion (2/3) of the lab tests ordered by this urgent care were unnecessary, experimental and thus not covered. Moreover, the original diagnosis I received is misleading. Their treatment masked the problem and I...

😠 I chose this urgent care because of the good reviews. While the people who checked me in were polite and efficient, the doctor who saw me was incredibly rude, demeaning, and condescending. By the end of the short appointment I was in tears. I later looked the doctor up by name and discovered that he...

😠 I would give this urgent care 0 star if that was an option. We made an appointment at 10:30 AM and got confirmation text. We arrived at 10:30 AM and it is CLOSED????? The urgent care didn’t have the courtesy to tell us that they are closed and need to cancel our appointment ahead of time???? It is...

😠 I recently had a highly disappointing experience at this urgent care facility with my 3-year-old child. Upon arrival, I inquired about whether my insurance was covered. The staff, rather than confirming, assured me it "probably was" and proceeded to schedule an appointment for my child. After enduri...

😠 My daughter had an eye injury and never received the medical services that was expected to receive. My daughter has medical insurance and her copay is $40.00 dollars. But, she was charged $250.00 dollars for waiting in the lobby for one hour and was told the facility is closing at 9:00 pm and she ca...

😠 Avoid at all cost. As cost will be plenty. They’ve been overcharging me for years, all excuses, refusing to refund overcharges. My cosmetologist took better care of my skin inflammation than their “doctor” who I waited for 2 hours with appointment one day, and had to return again the next day to be...

👍👍 Dr. Lewis came to my rescue in Santa Cruz. I was traveling and had an infection and he was able to help me quickly. He responded immediately when I called and within 2 hours I was able to get a prescription for antibiotics. Dr. Lewis was kind enough to help me even though he was almost closed. He ev...

😠 Please do not go to this clinic. The experience will seem amazing until a few months later when you are charged back to back for every interaction you've had there. I have a widely accepted PPO Blue Cross Blue Shield plan that I was told many times by Tia was in network. Now I am left paying over $4...

😠 These people are heartless. I was 34 weeks pregnant and wanted to transfer to a OB/GYN in Stockton. I told them of my situation. I called them and told them my due date. They accepted and scheduled an appointment to see me. Apparently the office staff doesn't know their own policies about accepting...

😠 My first appointment with this clinic was great. The doctor I saw was kind and understanding. I have chronic migraines and she said they would be able to continue my treatments, rather than me having to see a specialist for something routine. I set an appointment for the following week, knowing we m...

😠 Update: I call the main # to get info on the Booster shot at 930a. It's 230p, still no call back. So, i call member services and finally get through, then im told it can take about 24 hrs for a call back. This is who they are now. They were never like this b4 last year. Find a facility that has bett...

😠 I will never come back to this hospital. It blows my mind that a state of the art hospital such as this (or at least that's the reputation) would ve so far behind d the times. From their Covid policies, phone systems, and staffing. Also, I have had the reat of my life ruined due to surgeries I recei...

👍👍 Great lab! Very friendly and skilled staff :D Today Nicholas(sorry if my spelling is wrong..) helped draw my blood, super skilled and I didn’t even feel anything, and thanks for helping me figuring out those complicated tests!

🫤 Rude service, undermotivated help staff, a severely undiverse medical faculty made-up of people almost exclusively of one ethnicity, and to one degree or another highly preferential to that ethnicity. NEMS makes little effort at hiding who their preferred customers are. What's not to like! 🙃😉
