text: DO NOT BRING CHILDREN TO THIS LOCATION I brought my very nervous sixyear old daughter here She even told the phlebotomist she was scared but there were no words of reassurance from the staff The phlebotomist did not really say much to us at all except to ask if my daughter would like to sit on my lap which she said no As soon as the needle was inserted my daughter jerked back and blood was everywhere My daughter was hysterically sobbing as I was then reprimanded by phlebotomist for not having her sit on my lap I would not have minded doing that but she made it sound optional rather than critical when she asked earlier If she had warned me this might happen I would have gladly sat with her Again there were no words to calm my daughter down or even a sorry She asked if we wanted to draw the sample on the other arm since we had collected no blood at this point Meanwhile my daughter is so hysterical there was no way I could have her work on the other arm The phlebotomist made me feel like I was in the way and should get moving out of the office if I was not going to do the other arm My daughter hyperventilated practically the whole minute drive home crying that she never wants to get blood taken ever again In my opinion the staff should be coached and trained on how to handle nervous children or even calm down someone who is upset I felt like I had no empathy at all and now I have to worry about my daughter having permanent phobias with needles I am never coming here again
