Pediatric Mobile Blood Draw Services in Los Angeles | Secure Draw Mobile

A blood draw at a busy lab can be stressful for any child. The waiting room, unfamiliar faces, and clinical environment can make an already anxious experience much harder. Secure Draw Mobile offers a better option: a gentle, professional blood draw at home, where your child feels safe and comfortable.

We serve patients of all ages, including infants. Our phlebotomists are experienced with pediatric collections and understand how to work calmly and efficiently with young patients and their families.

Who We Serve

• Newborns and infants

• Toddlers and preschool-age children

• School-age children

• Teens and adolescents

• Children with medical anxiety or sensory sensitivities

• Children with chronic conditions requiring frequent draws

• Patients with special needs who benefit from a familiar environment

Why At-Home Is Better for Kids

Children are almost always calmer at home than in a clinical setting. Familiar surroundings, their own toys, and a parent nearby make a meaningful difference, especially for younger children or those with needle anxiety. When a child is calm, the draw goes faster and is more comfortable for everyone.

There is also no waiting. No sitting in a waiting room while anxiety builds. Our phlebotomist arrives at your scheduled time, gets set up quickly, and works at your child's pace.

What to Expect

Before the appointment, we recommend talking to your child in age-appropriate terms about what will happen. Honest, calm explanations work better than surprises.

• Have your child's lab order ready from their pediatrician or ordering provider.

• Choose a comfortable spot, a couch, a favorite chair, or their bed.

• Have a favorite toy, book, or show available as a distraction.

• If your child needs to fast, schedule an early morning appointment to minimize the wait.

• Stay close and calm. Children take cues from their parents.

Our phlebotomist will introduce themselves, explain each step simply, and work at a pace that keeps your child as comfortable as possible. Most pediatric draws take under 10 minutes from setup to finish.

Infant and Newborn Collections

Infant blood draws require specific technique and extra care. Our phlebotomists are experienced with newborn and infant collections. If your baby's pediatrician has ordered lab work, we can come to you rather than requiring a trip to a lab with a newborn.

Booking a Pediatric Appointment

You will need a lab order from your child's doctor or ordering provider. Once you have the order, contact us to schedule. Let us know your child's age when you book so we can ensure the right phlebotomist is assigned.

Secure Draw Mobile serves Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, Westwood, Culver City, West Los Angeles, and surrounding communities. Appointments available Monday through Friday 6 AM to 3 PM and Saturday 6 to 10 AM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you draw blood from newborns and infants?

Yes. We serve patients of all ages including newborns. Our phlebotomists are experienced with pediatric and infant collections.

My child has extreme needle anxiety. Can you still help?

Yes. We specifically recommend at-home draws for children with needle anxiety. The familiar home environment, combined with a calm and experienced phlebotomist, makes the experience significantly easier than a lab visit.

What if my child moves or cries during the draw?

This is completely normal and our phlebotomists are trained for it. We work slowly, communicate with your child throughout, and prioritize their comfort over speed.

Does my child need a lab order?

Yes. You will need a lab order from your child's pediatrician or ordering provider before we can collect a specimen. We cannot collect without a valid order.
