You might want to try the one thats in with the Express Care in Charlotte Hall, not as busy as the ones in Waldorf, nicer atmosphere.

I've always gone to the LabCorp off 925 in Waldorf. They are located in the Cambridge Building. I have very small veins and they always seem to collapse. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't.

Thats where I always went, till someone tipped me off about the one in the Express Care.

I think it's a part of the St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center that's actually located in the same building as the Express Care. Here's what St. Mary's Hospital has listed on their website for this laboratory:

There is also one in Old Line Center right of of 5. If you are heading south from Waldorf, its on the right before you hit St. Charles Parkway. Big building in the back. I've heard its A LOT less crowded than the one in Pembrooke.

I have takin my 5 year old to the labvorp on 925 and the one in old line center. The one in the old line center was by far the worst experience i have ever had! they were rude and inconsiderate! When we went back to get blood drawn the lady did not speak to my daughter at all just very rudely told my husband to hold her down. no hi how are you my daughter started to scream bloody murderthe lady did nothing just stabbed the needle in and said nothingmy daughter has had shots and blood done at childrens they talked to her like its okay its going to be really quick or look at the dog , they said nothing as the lady walked out the room my daughter still screaming i had to ask if that was it i would rather driveall the way to dc then take my baby back ther! if you can avoid it do it!

I will never go to the one at Old Line Center again! They messed up specimens and my son got the wrong results! He had to get an abdominal sono before it was confirmed they were not his results. They did redo the labs free of charge which were then normal! Watch your specimen and make sure it gets marked! The Laplata labcorp on centennial st is not crowded and they seem very friendly and professional. There is also a labcorp in the Belmont bldg on Moakley St in leonardtown and one in Pembrooke square in waldorf. I would like to know one that does fingersticks for baby lead screens instead of drawing blood.

Well this was some time ago but after the most disasterous time at Old Line Center we decided to take him to the lab at Childrens Hospital. I've never encountered such rude people as the two at Old Line Center who tried to butcher him to take his blood, then accuse us of not holding him down enough! They were so bad. At Childrens, it was calm and peaceful, took less then 2mins and he never even flinched. They are awesome, any time he needs blood taken I'm doing the extra drive and going up there.

Just wanted to comment that the LabCorp I use in Prince Frederick is wonderful. They've been syphoning blood from my husband and myself since they first came here. They are good at what they do and are cheerful and respectful. They also take their time to be accurate. So if the waiting room is full you can expect a long wait, but I've noticed everybody leaves with a smile on there face including kids. I just wish we had one closer to Lusby.

That's the one we use. We've never had a problem and the staff is very friendly.

I was terrified to get my 4 year old's blood drawn. She had a terrible experience with a dentist in PF and ever since that has been scared to death of doctors. Her pediatrician gave us a prescription for a numbing cream for her arm, to put on 20 minutes before getting her blood drawn and it worked wonders. She didn't feel anything and we were in and out within 15 minutes. I think all kids should get this stuff before getting stuck with any needles! Especially infants.
