What is a Walk-In Lab Test?
A Walk-In Lab Test, is any test that comes from our boutique lab. These tests are ‘pathology’ lab tests which means that we take a little of your blood, urine, or stools and analyse them. If you’re sick or looking to take control of your health, many of the decisions about your care will be based on the results of your blood and pathology tests.
Unlike other pathology labs in South Africa, we do not require a referral. This means that you are able to just ‘walk-in’ to our boutique lab and get tested, and afterwards you will own your results.
You will be able to pick and choose the tests that you want and get exactly what you need.
But to make it easier for those of us who want a little more guidance on which tests to get, we have put together expert packages which focus in on the important issues we all want information on (Click on the button below to see all our packages).
But please note that these packages are just a guide, you can take any tests off the packages or add anything you would like on. Just speak to our team when you come in for your test, and we will be happy to build a custom package just for you!
We, cannot help you understand what your results mean in detail. But we are able to make a referral to excellent doctors in our communities that can help you utilize the information our results give you to take full control of your health.
