A CHILD-LED APPROACH
Safety and trust come before the needle.
We meet each child at their level, explain every step in language they can understand and move at a pace that respects their emotions and sensory needs.
Whenever possible, we encourage capable children to sit independently and participate without restraint. Parents remain close for reassurance while we create a calm, honest experience.

My 13-year-old daughter had already experienced five unsuccessful attempts at two different labs. Evangela was responsive, professional and able to get blood on her first try. What a relief for us all.
-Chantel, Costa Mesa
What a blessing Evangela was! We found her last minute and she was at our house within less than 2 hours. She did bloodwork on my 4 year old son and she was so calm and patient with him. My son didn't cry or flinch at all, thank you again for your amazing service! Highly recommend!
— Matthew D.
Had the best experience with Evangela. We were really nervous for the blood draw for our 5 year old boy with autism, but Evangela was so patient, sweet, and understanding. He is not an easy poke, but she did it professionally and with ease. Would 100% recommend her and Gentle Butterfly Phlebotomy to anyone and will be using in the future for blood draws.
— Emily B.
We had a great experience with Evangela. My daughter was crying hysterically and she gave her a big hug and tried to reassure her. She did really great with my daughter and was very patient with her. Even followed up our labs and made sure it was accepted. Will definitely use her service again next time. I truly appreciated her quality of care and service.
