Brandon Quintal
Senior Laboratory Assistant – Phleb Certified
Brandon Quintal always knew he wanted to work in healthcare. Fascinated by the field and motivated by the chance to help people at the very start of their care journey, he was drawn to phlebotomy. “Being at the beginning of the patient’s health care process is very rewarding,” he says.
He joined Diagnostic Laboratory Services, Inc. (DLS) in April 2021 as a float, earned his phlebotomy certification in November 2023, and quickly advanced to Laboratory Assistant II. By July 2024, Brandon was promoted to Senior Laboratory Assistant for the East Region. Along the way, floating between patient service centers across O‘ahu has allowed him to build friendships with employees throughout the department while also connecting with countless patients. “My favorite thing about working at DLS is being able to meet so many different people and talking story with them, being able to brighten their day just a little by assisting and being kind,” he explains.
Brandon takes pride in knowing the difference his role makes. “I’m part of the process in ensuring that patients are getting the care they need based on their lab results,” he says.
To those considering a career at DLS, his advice is simple: “The people are fun to work with, the connections you make with patients give you a sense of contribution, and DLS is an awesome company to be a part of.”
