Canterbury SCL - Barrington

The nurse that I had this morning was extremely blunt bordering on being rude. It was not a pleasant experience at all. Unfortunately I did not get the name of the nurse, but she had long blond hair & wore black framed glasses. Had I not been in a hurry I most certainly would have asked for another nurse to take my blood.

Young nurse that did my bloodwork today, I love you lol. Had my blood taken a lot this year, would prefer it stayed in my body but that’s okay. Came here this afternoon, didn’t feel a thing!!!! This is the only time that it hasn’t been incredibly uncomfortable. You’re very good at your job. Anytime someone wants my blood, I’m coming to you.

Poorly ran, waited over 45 minutes even when had a booking.nWill be getting blood test done at my doctors next time.

I went in for a urine test. You cannot book these online. I told the incredibly nasty older blond nurse that a lot of other reviewers seem to have had the misfortune of interacting with what I was there for. She very nastily told me I had to wait and to take a number. After 40 minutes I told another nurse who said phone and book. The lady at their call centre said to ask a phlebotomist for a pottle, write my details on it and then leave it on their desk when I was done. Yes, it was that easy. The nasty nurse could easily have told me the same thing in 30 seconds but decided to make me wait. I know they’re short staffed but she really needs to go…

Parking was a bit of a mission as it is shared with the medical center. It you forget your mask they have some inside. Didn't have to wait too long to have test done and young lady was friendly and gentle. No bruising which is awesome.
