Blood work without a doctor's order
You don't need a prior doctor's order or health insurance. Tell us which test you need or describe your symptoms and the medical team will recommend the right panel. You can also bring your doctor's order if you already have one.
How long do results take?
It depends on the test: some results are ready quickly, while others take a little longer because they are processed at a reference lab. When we draw your sample we tell you the turnaround for your test and, once it is ready, we explain what each value means in Spanish.
Do I need to fast?
For fasting glucose and the lipid panel we recommend 8 to 12 hours without food; water is fine. Most other tests don't require fasting. If in doubt, call us before you come and we'll tell you how to prepare.
Why they matter
Blood tests help detect high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol before symptoms appear, follow up on a chronic condition or complete a work, school or immigration exam. Ask about our general checkup packages, which combine blood work and a medical consultation at an affordable price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only some tests require it, like fasting glucose or a lipid panel; for those, the usual approach is eating nothing after dinner the night before and drinking only water. A CBC, A1C or thyroid test normally doesn't need fasting. Not sure which ones you're getting? Send us a WhatsApp message before you come in.
Yes. Tell us which test you want or describe your symptoms, and the medical team helps you pick the panel that makes sense for you. If another provider already gave you a lab order, bring it along and we'll work from it. For full checkups priced as a package, see the current offers on [promotions](/promociones).
Not necessarily. Fasting, a medicine or a temporary change can push a value out of range. The medical team reviews it alongside your symptoms and explains in plain language whether to repeat it, start treatment or keep it under watch, for example through [chronic condition care](/services/condiciones-cronicas).
