This Quest site within the Safeway, Columbia MD has consistently done nearly painless blood draws, and there is very little bruising after the fact. I will always go here

Katerra (the phlebotomist) was kind, understanding, and encouraging.

Katara is an excellent phlebotomist and really cares about making her patients comfortable and less anxious. I drove 40 minutes specifically to come here because I had a large blood draw and other facilities closer to me weren’t nearly as well run nor as friendly.
