We know when you need phlebotomy service, you have many options. While there are definite advantages to using a mobile phlebotomy service over going to a patient service center, you might be wondering why you would choose VeniExpress over other mobile phlebotomy companies in your area.

If you’ve been to a patient service center for a blood draw or sample collection lately, you probably experienced what most people we talk to are experiencing—long wait times and crowded waiting rooms. Or, if you aren’t waiting in a crowded waiting room, you’re waiting outside, or in a lobby or hallway.

When most people think of mobile phlebotomy, they think of a company that provides blood draws and other services to people who are home bound—a company that sends phlebotomists to the homes of very elderly people or those in hospice care. While this is a good part of what we do at VeniExpress, our San Diego mobile phlebotomy services are not just for the home bound. There are many individuals who can benefit greatly from using a mobile phlebotomy service.

As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread and people are expected to shelter in place for the foreseeable future, we are seeing an increased need for mobile phlebotomy services in Southern California and Arizona. Even those with health conditions requiring regular blood draws are hesitant to leave their homes and go to a patient service center at this time—especially those in the “at risk” category, such as seniors and the immunocompromised. This makes mobile phlebotomy an excellent option, since these patients can still get the service they need, while remaining in their homes.
