A Quest Mobile phlebotomist will draw your labs and deliver them to the closest Quest Diagnostics location.
All patients may choose to have their samples collected at a Quest Diagnostics Patient Service Center. To schedule an in-center sample collection, visit appointment.questdiagnostics.com
A mobile sample collection typically takes under 20 minutes depending on how many tests were ordered.

Quest Mobile professionals are aware of the tests performed; however, they are not qualified to discuss testing reasons nor do they get results.
