STDCheck.com is a disaster. NOT CONFIDENTIAL, NOT QUICK, NOT CONVENIENT
STDCheck.com is supposed to be quick, confidential, and convenient. It isn't any of those things. Potentially starting a new romantic relationship, I decided to do a screening, preparing for an upcoming date night. I signed up and paid. The first issue was with the clinic...a LabCorps clinic...was loacted in a hospital. No indication prior to arrival that would be the case, so it was hard to find, so NOT CONVENIENT. Then when I finally found the clinic...the 'clerk' very loudly demanded that I provide my ID and insurance card. When you sign up with STDCheck the website tells you very clearly that you don't have to provide either. He repeatedly demanded that I provide this information over and over again, getting louder and louder, even enlisting other patients in the waiting list in demanding my ID and insurance card. So NOT CONFIDENTIAL. I then called the customer service line to complain, only to be told, 'that can't be true our contractors understand you needn't give your ID and insurance card, ' and ordering me to go to a different clinic across the lake (requiring a half and hour drive and a toll), or downtown, which would cost me more time and require me to search for and pay for parking (Seattle has almost no parking and what little parking it has is outrageously expensive). I kept explaining that the options provided were not workable for me. So, not QUICK. The whole point of using this service is that you pay up front, show up at the site, complete your testing, and your results show up on a secure site. NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED THE WAY THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. I WAS HUMILIATED, EMBARASSED, AND THEY CHARGED ME WHEN I COULDN'T GO TO ANOTHER CLINIC A 20% CANCELLATION FEE, for their own incompetence. STDCheck is horrible. I'd give them a zero star rating if I could. The worst. When a service promised to be quick, confidential, and convenient and it isn't...there is a problem. Having to stand in a crowded clinic, explaining that I am there for STD testing, is also approaching a HIPPA violation. Bad, bad, bad.
