What people say
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I've also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative and I would have this as top of my list for preventive care.
Amazing experience, highly professional staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.
Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.
What this does not do
This panel provides the lab results commonly required for visa and employment medicals. It is not the official medical certificate itself.
- Requirements vary by country, visa type and employer; check the exact tests yours asks for before you book.
- The official medical certificate or form is completed by the examining or panel doctor, using your results.
- A reactive infectious-disease or TB result needs confirmatory testing and a doctor's assessment.
- Results are meant to inform a discussion with a registered practitioner.
