Everything You Need to Know About Private Blood Testing

No we are not connected with provincial health or any other organizations, this is 100% private testing. No requisition is needed, you pay for the tests you want and the PDF results are posted to your account and only your account. You can download them and do with them as you please. 

Different tests have different turnaround times, and we generally tell people to expect a result window of 1-7 days. A complete blood count would be resulted the next day for example, and vitamin D or hormone test may take 4-5 days. Specialty tests could take several weeks so it is best to check with our team when booking. 

No we are 100% private, anyone can access our tests you do not require provincial health coverage or even Canadian citizenship.

Blood work can be very traumatizing for young children and we have a soft policy not to draw blood from anyone under 6 years old. Depending on the testing you are looking for, there are non invasive options like OligoScan and urine testing that can work instead for young children, just reach out to us. 

Each test has its own price, which can be found by clicking the book now link on our site. We do not offer multi test discounts, the price of each test remains the same regardless of the number of test purchased. You can pick and choose whichever tests you like to meet your needs.
