Frequently Asked Questions
General -
What is mobile phlebotomy?
Mobile phlebotomy is a service where a certified phlebotomist comes to your home, office, or preferred location to draw blood for lab testing.
​

Preparation varies by test, but some common guidelines include fasting for 8-12 hours before testing (if required) and drinking plenty of water to help with the blood draw.

About Me -
How long have you been a phlebotomist?
I started my phlebotomy journey in 2008 after getting certified and working through United Blood Services. Giving people comfort and safety in a vulnerable position is what I specialize in. It is important that my patients feel the upmost comfort during their visit with me and that is why I started B+ Mobile Phlebotomy.
​
Do you travel all over Arizona?
I do! From Glendale, to Goodyear, to Queen Creek and everywhere in between. I have made a few visits to Tucson and Flagstaff, when requested.
​
What do you do in your spare time?
I am a big movie buff and enjoy spending my free time watching new movies/taking care of the animals at the house! We have a small zoo, as we like to call it, with dogs, cats, and chickens at the moment.
