Slow results and bad customer service

You can get blood tests through this company but there are better options out there. The labs that they work with are old and run down with unfriendly staff. And if you run into any issues, such as delays and lab results being lost or severely delayed, the customer service through Private MD labs is not great. I submitted a ticket for my order after it took over a week for my results to show up and they responded that they would look into it and immediately closed my ticket. I would not recommend this company.

Great experience with Private MD Labs

Great experience with Private MD Labs.
Super easy to order online. Checking hormones with your DR and a prescription is a nightmare. I was able to go to my local grocery store and get my labs done and emailed to me within a week. Definitely will be returning in 8-12 weeks.

I highly recommend Private MD Labs

I highly recommend Private MD Labs for lab testing at home. Booking online was simple, and the collection kit made the process smooth. Results came back quickly and were easy to understand. I will be using this service in the future for efficient testing.

20% more expensive than WalkinLab

Haven't used them, hence the default 3/5 rating, which means they're an okay business. Here's what's not exactly okay:

1. The "$200 off on the first order" deal actually consists of seven $25 coupons that are granted over 7 years, IF you read the fine print. Obviously, getting $200 off your first test could easily mean a free test, so they don't do that. But they bait you with "Get $200 with your 1st order".

2. Prices are simply 20%+ higher than those of WalkinLab, or DiscountedLabs, for any test you want to compare. For instance, SHBG costs $59, but only $49 at WalkInLab. Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy LC/MS/MS costs $69, vs. $49 at WalkInLab. Both use Quest, and these are prices before discounts.

3. PrivateMDLabs has a link to their 5-star ratings on Google Maps, but the location of that "business" is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. What's up with that?

Based on these observations, I don't really see a reason to use PrivateMDLabs instead of WalkinInLab. I do see that PrivateMDLabs has replied to reviews here, and I appreciate that. Happy to revise my review in light of convincing information I might have missed.

Hi Dan,

If you do decide to try our services we'd be happy to assist with your next health checkup so you can see why we’ve earned our 5 star reviews :)

Regarding the comments in the review:

1. Small correction, we provide 8 $25 credits, not 7. Our customers, often get checked multiple times a year, and love these savings.

Big correction: All 8 $25 credits are deposited immediately into customers’ wallets, not over 7 years as you stated.

2. You said prices are 20% higher, but it may not be immediately obvious that we offer everyone a 15% off coupon. After applying a discount coupon and using a $25 credit we’re less expensive than alternative options.

Customers can save even more when they subscribe & save, which offers up to 26% off.

3. Google Maps showing our location in the ocean…

We should make it more clear on our website that we rent luxury yachts for all our patients because what could be more private than your own blood test appointment in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Plus the rocking motion offers instant zen. But if you can contact Google and ask them why they mapped us in the middle of the Pacific Ocean even though they have our correct address that would be swell.

Here are 29 more reasons to choose us beyond our great prices and the fact that we’ve been doing this nearly 20 years…

1. Ultra-fast turnaround time at no extra charge, often overnight.

2. Super friendly customer support often replying in 1 hour or less, except weekends.

3. Over 4000 convenient locations to go for your checkup.

4. Too busy to call? Just text us. Our SMS support is fast too.

5. On your results, out of range issues are shown first on your report, right at the top so you don’t have to go looking for them.

6. Book your appointment right after checkout, and we'll take care of the rest.

7. We'll remind you with a text message the day before and morning of your appointment.

8. Easily add appointments to your calendar.

9. We provide an Apple Wallet pass for quicker check-in at the lab.

10. 99.99% accuracy.

11. The #1 most flexible and easy no questions asked refund / exchange policy, period.

12. Transparent pricing. No hidden fees.

13. We will send someone to your home for your checkup if you don’t want to visit a lab, at cost and where available.

14. Trend tracking: monitor your health over time with an easy-to-understand trend tracker.

15. Earn loyalty points with every checkup.

16. Pay however you like: Apple Pay, PayPal, Google Pay, credit card.

17. Make sure your health & life insurance premiums don’t go up or get canceled all together- we don’t share any info, and they won’t know what you’re testing for or what your results are.

18. We give you $200 when you place your first order (8 x $25 credits, valid for 7 years).

19. 1-minute fast checkout.

20. 2-click reorder from your account.

21. Confidential: no questions asked for lab orders, results stay private forever.

22. We’re real humans having real conversations via text or phone.

23. We give you a $200 credit for every single friend you refer back to us plus your friend also gets a $200 credit (8 x $25 credits, valid for 7 years).

24. Strong commitment to innovation and improving services based on your feedback.

25. Easy-to-understand results.

26. We make it easy for you to share your results with any professional right from your account, whether it is your doctor or fitness coach or anyone else.

27. Your blood is analyzed on the newest most advanced state of the art, scientifically proven machines on the market.

28. We are multilingual. Our full-time team members can help you in English or Spanish, Italian, French, and more languages coming soon!

29. Specific test names hidden in your receipt to submit to FSA/HSA. Increased privacy.

So, Dan, if you’re ready to set sail with us on this health adventure, let us know - we're here for you!

Great Experience

First time with this company, wow they are amazing. The best way to contact them is by text and they reply quickly and seriously I felt they cared about the results and follow-up. I would definitely pay them for all future testing.

Amazing customer service

I've only ordered from them a couple of times so far, but each time my purchases were quick, though, and cheap. I love that I can order labs months before my actual appointment, because it makes everything so easy to plan ahead for. Best of all, I had an issue with accidentally ordering the wrong test, and customer service got back to me within 10 minutes(!!!) to help me fix my mistake with absolutely 0 hassle. I'd recommend them for their great prices, great customer service, and the amazing service they provide.

Long time customer

I've been ordering from Private MD Labs for 5 years. Virtually any test you need is available, and the total cost is frequently the same or less than your in-network co-pay. You get the results quickly, and you get the results without a lecture and automatic prescription. Quest Diagnostics' recent decision to discourage walk-ins is an order-of-magnitude step down in convenience, but I'll continue to use this service.

Best customer service I've ever had - thanks Jan!

I had Jan help me over the phone today, and she honestly gave me the best customer service I've ever gotten. Above and beyond, no upselling, all honesty. She saved me a lot of money, and even gave me a discount code on top of that. I couldn't be happier!

Excellent Service

I've been using Private MD Labs for over 10 years now and have never had an issue with ordering, receiving my requisitions, using the requisitions or getting my online results.

I find this service to be an excellent adjunct to my other healthcare and hope they continue to offer this excellent service.

My wife and I have been using this…

My wife and I have been using this service for a few years now. It is convenient and simple to understand and use. The labs they use should be fairly close to your home. I have zero complaints about the service.
The main reason we use it to exclude a doctor from the process. They are for the most part pill pushers and would love to get you on a prescription to relieve your symptoms, not cure you. Our results have always been spot on. What more can I say about it. I am so pleased with the service and the services they offer.

Highly recommend Private MD Labs!

Private MD Labs is a truly remarkable service. I've used them several times to order my own panels & couldn't be more satisfied. One of my tests even uncovered a potentially-dangerous condition that my own doctor would never have checked for in the first place. That's the beauty of owning your own healthcare; doctors can only do so much. I've also shopped a few competitors, but Private MD Labs had them beat with their electronic documents & more-detailed test descriptions, which is important if you're looking for a specific test method. The requisitions and results come in quickly and prices are reasonable. So if you're looking to take matters of health into your own hands and supplement the care given by your doctor, look no further than Private MD Labs. You will not be disappointed!

Extremely informative discussion with representative that actually answered in depth questions about the test(s) I was looking for. Found the most cost effective and efficient way to complete what I was looking for.

Unfriendly consumer policies!

Prices are competitive. Customer service is incredibly terrible. Know that if you order a lab test you must use it in a certain time period or they will take your money and void the test. So keep that it mind. There are other companies that have better customer service, and more consumer friendly policies, search them out before using this service! I won't be using them again. Look elsewhere for your tests, IMHO.

Hi James,

We put customers at the very top of our priority list, so this is very much going to be looked into. We searched your name and we see no complaints, emails, live chat or issues, so perhaps you ordered under a different name or changed your name for the purpose of this review which is your right, but it does make it impossible for us to verify your complaint and solve the issue.

We aim to make our customers happy. All orders are valid for 6 months. Like any small business, we do have terms and conditions which are clearly stated on our website and required to be agreed to prior to you being able to complete a successful transaction, however, our terms and conditions are not small print buried in pages you never see, we actually show this important condition in normal size font during the checkout process. While we are never happy to hear that any of our customers are unhappy, we often make exceptions to our terms and conditions, which we feel are very lenient. We do enforce our terms and conditions to all clients equally, as well as any exceptions to those terms and conditions, to ensure we do not discriminate against any of our customer base.

If you can provide us with more information related to your order, such as an order number, we can be more specific as to the circumstances surrounding the decision made related to your order expiring.

Take labs into your own hands

When you want or need lab work that your physician won't get you, or maybe you want to know the result before anyone else has to know, this is a great option. It's convenient (easy setup, then lab draws anywhere there's LabCorp or Quest), and fast, and reasonably priced. I've used them a dozen times or so over the years.
