Recommend blood work in Albany

My DD needs blood work to complete her allergy testing.  I know it depends on insurance too, but any recommendations?  She is 22m and so I want somewhere good.  I'm sort of near Crossgates.

So far I've been told about LapCorp and Quest, Quest is probably more convenient (behind Stuyvesant Plaza).

    We've only used other LabCorps for Ian. We were just sure to go when it wasn't a busy time (call the place you plan to go so they can tell you when that is, just be sure to explain that you'll be bringing a toddler in). We have good luck with the LabCorp in CP.

    I've gone to Labcorp in Delmar for L and myself.

    I actually like the lab in the professional building of st.peters (319 s.manning)- the tech is really good

    I used to go to the lab at St. Peters (actually in the hospital) but its terribly inconvenient between parking and walking all through the building. Now I go to Albany Meds outpatient lab & I am much happier because it is right in the main entrance and I've never had more than 1 person in front of me, no matter what time I've gone. I don't like the St Peters Bender lab at Washington Avenue Medical Arts because it takes forever no matter when I go. DH liked the one near Hoffmans in Latham (Quest maybe?) and he is NOT a fan of getting his blood drawn.

    We use the lab in the Latham Medical building. It is the Urgent care in the evenings but durring the day it is the lab. Quick - in and out. They did Aiden's 1 year blood draw (2 vials of blood) and were really good with him.

    The lab techs at Bellevue are AMAZING. I had bloodwork done quite a few times there while pregnant with Molly, and I took Molly there last week for her 1yr bloodwork. They were so good with her. They checked both arms for the better vein, and they got the needle in the first time. Very gentle, talked to her, kept telling her how good she was doing. She didn't even cry until they took the needle out. I would HIGHLY recommend them! There usually isn't much of a wait there either.
