Samaritan Albany General Hospital - Laboratory

Definitely don't come here if you in a rush or hungry on the weekend or anytime for that matter, they mentioned a possible 2hr wait for a blood draw. Lady before us has been waiting awhile now, receptionist mentioned the phlebotomist just started her "rounds". Highly suggest you go elsewhere or come prepared to wait.

My husband has been here several times for his annual blood draws and he despises needles. He arrives around 8'ish not too early as they are doing their rounds when they open at 7 am and hungry like everybody else. He never waits long less than 10 minutes and he's in & out in about 20 minutes including checking in. The phlebotomist does not hurt him, finds his vein, takes his blood and he's done. He has had a pleasant experience every time for the last 8 years or so.
