We use Dynacare Laboratory Services anywhere in Ontario and Quebec.
For Quebec patients in Wakefield, La Peche, Outouais or surrounding areas, the nearest Dynacare labs location is in Gatineau. Blood draws completed in Quebec, cost $50 more, so we often recommend driving across the border to Ottawa. Blood lab draws are private pay, so you pay our clinic and then take the requisition to the lab. The lab won’t charge you.
Please search for the nearest Dynacare blood draw location near you. Special exceptions apply.
