I've been here twice now and both times they were overbooked. They get folks through fairly quickly…read moreand efficiently but their scheduling results in the clients waiting outside on the street. First time the wait was annoying but a little more tolerable due to warm weather. Second visit, just like the first, I arrived 10 minutes early as instructed. After 25 min waiting outside I finally got in out of the cold and was able to sit down. I'm a left leg amputee and standing for long periods is harder for me than most. There are no chairs or anything to sit on outside their office. Most disappointing is that the staff couldn't have cared less. I'm not looking for 5 star concierge service at a blood lab but I would have thought someone would have been concerned about the issue I raised. I just got silence and a too bad so sad look. It's conveniently located but for me that's all it has going for it. And be prepared that they will be well behind in their schedule.

You can make an appointment directly on their site, but they also take walk ins. I used to go to Sunnybrook for blood tests, but coordinating this with a baby was hard. They open right at 7:30 on weekdays (closed on weekends). The staff are extremely efficient. This morning I went at 7:20 and was out the door by 7:40. This is my go to lab now.

I've been using Dynacare Labs. near my home for decades and they've always been TERRIFIC…read more Had to go to this (different) location today to hand in a routine medical specimen: 1. Was told that my doctor had not given me the correct paperwork. Had to call my doctor's office, only to find out that the paperwork I submitted was accurate (AFTER the lady on the desk checked with her colleagues). WTF. 2. I asked if I had to pay for the test. She said "no", then asked a colleague who said "yes". Okaaaaay. 3. I handed her my card, assumed she was swiping it (couldn't see beneath the counter top), she handed me back my card and said I needed to pay. WHAT. I thought I just did. No, that's done by someone else. 4. Constant, incessant interruptions by her colleagues left me waiting and waiting and waiting. Finally, I had enough and suggested she focus on completing my transaction to which I received a mouthful and to which I responded accordingly. They need to train their front-line staff AND they need an additional person on the front desk. All I wanted to do was hand in a specimen and it took waaaaaay longer than it should have with a lot of aggro. Go to another Dynacare if you can. This place is atypical of Dynacare's usual high standards.

However - EVERY time I have gone to Dynacare and had my blood taken by Cristina, the Lab Technician, whatever magic or needle sorcery she does - it's painless and over in seconds. And she has consistently taken it quickly and painlessly over the couple years I have gone, is always calm and pleasant, and puts me at ease telling me stories or jokes. Thank you Cristina for making my worst nightmare actually MORE than tolerable now : ) Lisa P

If I could review less, I absolutely would without hesitation…read more I had to get some bloodwork done, and unfortunately because of my past experience's with my veins being terrible and normal technicians missing the mark, I get panic attacks each and every time I get blood drawn. because of my on-going health issues, I had three requisitions to complete, so at least I was making the most of my visit, or so I thought. when I got to the counter I was told I had to pick which tests were most important to get done, because of the worlds issues they were only doing two requisitions each visit. i tried asking for more clarification, and the lady behind the desk absolutely exploded in a stern turn, raised her voice and said "I DON'T MAKE THE RULES" pretty terrible experience to go through. so I had to pick two of my tests and didn't go back to do the third one. I tried to find this on the public website where this ruling was, nothing online, and nothing was shown in the office/waiting room either. it was explained in long format when I followed up with life labs, but no apology was given for the snobby technician for the bloodwork being drawn. absolutely no satisfaction. parking is a bit of a crap shoot as its street parking for this four story medical building plus other stores in the neighborhood. transit option is the 501 queen bus/streetcar directly with no other close by option absolutely felt insulting to come here, had a panic attack, was degraded, and worse still, if I need to do bloodwork, this is the closest location to where I live and I don't have a close option. come here if you want to be treated terribly!

Could not take 1 out of the 2 samples and said they could take it just not today and to come back tomorrow and turn it in, which makes zero sense.

One person said one thing and another person said the opposite. Just extremely unprofessional. Would give zero stars if possible.

In the last few months (unfortunately) I've had to to several tests and can say I've got to know the staff more than the average Joe. They take care of you here, not the "in-your-face" kind of help you get from a salesperson at you clothing store. But they try to make the needle process as painless as possible. And this is what makes me happy here, they're not rushing. I've found out the best time to go is 4-5pm as most people try to go early in the morning as some tests require fasting.
