Unilab's motto "Low Cost Blood Tests" rings true but goes way beyond this. This is the first and only lab you'll ever need to go to in the greater Chicagoland area...forget about those expensive lab bills that you get slammed with through your doctor's office. You can bring any of your clinical needs to Unilab and you'll get fast, efficient results done by dedicated staff. You don't even need a doctor's prescription to get tests done here...just come into the office with any recommended doctor's tests. Here's a quick summary: 1. You visit your doctor and he/she recommends that you get x, y, z lab tests done OR you yourself just want to get your own tests done out of curiosity like get your cholesterol levels checked or a CBC done. 2. Come in with your lab recommendations, and the friendly, licensed phlebotomists will do a blood test for you right there at the lab. 3. Test results are sent to you via email within 24-72 hours, depending on what the tests are. The office is a bit tucked away and hard to find the first time...park at a meter anywhere you can near the corner of Austin & Lake, and walk to the door that's directly across from Church's (try your best to ignore that tempting and at the same time disgusting smell of grease) and next door to Unity drugstore. read more

I came to Unilab to get my blood tested since it cost a lot more done at my doctor's office. Unilab lists the price online, so you know what you're paying for the type of work you need done. They seem to be honest with the prices. It is walk in welcome, so you don't need to make any appointments. The service is fast and quick. There wasn't anyone waiting before me so I was in and out of the place within 10-15 minutes. This is probably the quickest visit I've had before. The doctor withdraw your blood and another doctor explain to you on when you will receive your results and such. I got my results emailed to me 2 business days later. I enjoyed the service and very thankful they are around for inexpensive blood tests. One thing I didn't like as much is their location. To me, I felt a bit unsafe going there myself in the middle of the day. Their office door is locked so you'll have to ring the doorbell to get in. read more

Very displeased with the service I received from this office. I understand the office is small but the hallway should not be used for all purposes, especially if they do not plan to properly prep the area before and after draws. I needed IgG titers ASAP to meet a work requirement and they ensured me they would be ready Monday (I came in on a Wednesday). I confirmed this multiple times before I signed any documents or paid. However, when I called on Monday the man who answered was extremely rude when I asked what the hold up was. If the labs weren't ready that is understandable but he could have easily owned up to the fact and apologized, instead he yelled at me and proceeded to hang up on me, all without allowing me to get a word in otherwise. Honestly, if I hadn't had this unfortunate exchange with this man I would've given them 4 stars and moved on but you can't be in a business like this not have basic customer service skills and phone manners. read more

Laboratory work can be quite expensive out-of-pocket. Fortunately I discovered Unilab Inc. through a quick internet search. The office is conveniently located just a block or so north of the Austin Green Line stop. I was greeted professionally and quickly tended to upon arrival. The price list is readily available and individual tests are extremely affordable. I was able to get six blood tests/screens for employment purposes completed for only $120. These tests would have cost me *much* more money to complete through my physician. Initially when I entered, I was asked if I had a doctor's order since it is now required by state law. I explained that I did not have a doctor's order and I was instructed to simply provide my doctor's number and office location and that they would secure the authorization. For the sake of simplicity, I did contact my doctor's office to request the authorization myself since it would be easier. Dr. Siva, the manager, was extremely helpful in helping to explain how they would screen for a couple of uncommon tests that I needed for employment purposes and he was quick to clarify anything I didn't understand. Phlebotomists usually have trouble finding a good spot to draw blood since my veins are deep. The phlebotomist that drew my blood was patient and waited until she found the best spot, which was in my left hand rather than my arms. I thought it would hurt quite a bit (I usually bruise and feel sore after getting blood drawn), but there was little pain and no bruising. The office itself needs organizing and some interior decorating, but service is efficient and extremely cost-effective (which is what matters). The facilities are clean; all staff members are licensed in their appropriate fields and follow mandated guidelines for universal precautions and laboratory work. I enthusiastically recommend Unilab Inc to individuals seeking a good experience for lab work at a low cost. read more

I was recommended UniLab by my doctor to save money on blood test panels I wanted to do. I thought it was important to mention that UniLab did not seem very sanitary. Nice people but it's very disorganized there, and office uncleanliness is an understatement! I don't know that I would recommend clients there. Just my opinion, but wanted you to know that they are very nice people all the same, but kind of gross interior location! Especially to be drawing blood. It's important to mention that the person who drew my blood did a perfect job. So if saving money is of the utmost importance, then this place is perfect. However, it could use a very good deep cleaning and removal of unnecessary boxes and food and all sorts of binders everywhere. I wanted to dive in and organize that place it was driving me nuts! You will see if and when you go there. I wish them all the best but come on this is your place of business, organize it and be prideful. The ceiling was falling apart! In terms of your clientele, make sure you have the highest standards in regard to a sanitary environment. Nothing personal but when doing anything health related, an office should feel clean and comfortable, and that should be very high on the business owners to do list! Lastly, it's cash only. Which is odd for a medical office but just FYI. read more

Came to get 5 different tests done and paid a grand total of $135. I was in and out in 15 minutes, quickly got my results in a couple of days, and the doctors there were very polite and courteous. So in short, if you want friendly service, like saving hundreds of dollars, and don't want to wait hours to get a 5 min procedure done.. come here! Side note: I got my $5 change in Sacagawea coins which I thought was awesome lol. If anything come for the Sacagawea coins!! read more

My NP recommended that I get low cost vaccination titers at Unilab since my insurance company would not pay for them. This lab charges a small fraction of what other places charges. I was surprised by the cluttered, unkept look of the lab and by the fact that only cash was accepted, but their professionalism and knowledge were never in question and more than made up for the lack of aesthetics. My phlebotomist was an expert at blood draws and found my hidden veins without difficulty. If I find myself having to pay out of pocket again, I will definitely go back. Again, not a new, slick office, but they definitely get the job done. And the option of having your results emailed directly to me was a pleasant surprise. read more

Great facility with great staff to get blood tests and other lab tests done! I visited on August 9, 2016, and Ms. Nichols was professional and greeted me courteously. After handing over the prescription for my test, the nurse was very efficient in the blood draw. The test results were Faxed to my doctor and a copy was emailed to me at my request. This was done in a timely manner! Unilab clinic is easily accessible by the CTA Green Line, and also by buses. For those who prefer to drive, there is plenty of street parking available; some metered. Unilab has simple premises, and you are not paying for a crystal chandelier! This enables them to keep their overhead costs low, and pass on those savings to the customer! I highly recommend them! read more

Prices are very fair. They do a quick job to get you in and out. Parking right out front. Cash only. No credit cards at this time

Shireen C Phlebotomist was very professional and tactful while administering blood tests on me. From someone who hasn't had any injections since childhood, this was a very pleasant and painless experience. The prices were also very affordable and fair. If you need any bloodwork done I would recommend going here, staff is friendly accurate and fast. Thank you Unilab team. read more

I had a blood-draw w/ full-panel test (& urinalysis) done here recently (this was curiously part of a 'groupon' special). Very quick and simple and at a price far less than the value of the various bits of information you'll be made specifically aware about your health (in conjunction w/ physician consult). The kind of thing IMO can be done regularly to detect and monitor natural but unexpected body trends as they develop over the years with accuracy so you can get in front of them (before they get ahead of you). The little upstairs clinic has open hours to 7pm on some days but be sure to fast 12 hours before coming in. Finding close street parking not difficult and right by cta greenline Austin stop too https://www.groupon.com/deals/unilab-inc read more

Low Cost Blood Tests! It took me forever to find this place. It has saved me MANY HUNDREDS of dollars! My Doctor insisted I get 3 blood tests. At Northwestern they cost about $650.00 without insurance. I called around and the low cost clinics had to have proof of income, asests, bills etc..and if you're not on public assistence, forget it. Well since I'm not quite living in a cardboard box yet, I probably wouldn't qualify. The lowest cost I could find was $200.00 for 1 test. Here you just walk in and everything is taken care of within 5 minutes. It is set up in a vitage Oak Park apartment, nothing like a cold Doctors office. Cost $43.00 for ALL 3 tests!!!!!!! I saved easily over $400.00! read more

went in for a long overdue blood draw to check for deficiencies as i have been vegan for 3.5 years now. they're very helpful and inexpensive. i'll definitely be recommending them to everyone in my family. they're website does look a bit outdated. think it would be best if they added all their test and prices. these are the test i took, if anyone is interested (price is inside paranthesis.) cbc (10) cmp (18) vitamin D (43) iron -TIBC + serum ferritin b12 (35) + mma (methylmalonic acid) + homocysteine lipids (15) omega 3 folate/folic acid TSH (thyroid funtion/iodine) (20) hemoglobin a1c (15) total testesterone (25) total was $288 they didnt have these tests available zin selenium iodine k2 read more

I'm so glad my doctor referred me to Unilab, knowing I'm self-pay (no health insurance). I saved hundreds of dollars on my blood tests. At first it's a real time warp--like walking into a 1970s free clinic, but the staff are professional and friendly. I will not hesitate to go back, and recommend Unilab wholeheartedly. read more

I discovered unilab a few years ago when I had no health care insurance. I need to have three types of blood test twice a year for my doctor. I had found through the affordable care act a plan that covered my blood work so out of convenience I started going to quest diagnostics. My health plan was cancelled do I had to pick another plan that I could afford. Tbe only problem is that my blood work was not covered through them. It work had run into hundreds of dollars. I just went back to unilab yesterday, and it only cost me fifty eight dollars for a lipid profile, cmp, and a a1c test. This included a ten dollar blood draw fee. There is nonthing fancy about there office, but who cares for that price. The staff has always been very professional, and accompanying... read more

If you have a HMO and doctors or drug store don't take your insurance, this is the place to go for very reasonable prices on blood tests and many shots that you need. Interesting place and a very nice staff. read more

Negative five stars. This place is a joke. They are in my network and wanted me to pay cash for services that my private insurance has contracted them to perform. Seven test total. They advised me that I would be responsible for a reimbursement from my insurance. That is interesting bc they are aware that cash pay services are not contracted rates. They even hung up on the insurance company when they called. Extremely rude. read more

I have high deductible with my health insurance. My doctor told me to get my TSH test done once in 6 months to adjust the dose. This lab charges me much less than what the Hospital lab costs. They send the report by FAX to my Doctor and send the report to me by e-mail. I give plus Five Star for their service. A satisfied customer read more

I was very happy with my experience with Unilab. I first called them for information (hours, location, payments, available tests, etc.). The person who answered was very helpful. I walked into the office (it can be hard to find since it's on the second floor). At first I was taken aback as it looks so different from the typical busy doctor's office. It's a small office with everything is contained within one room. I was nervous about going here based on their outward office appearance, but what they lack in appearances, they more than made up on everything that counted with me. All necessary certifications, business licenses and associations are on the wall. They were very professional, friendly, patient yet efficient, fast and very reasonable priced. I was in and out in less than an half hour. And the test results were faxed to my doctor and emailed to me within a week. I want to emphasize on how reasonable priced the blood tests were. I think my tests would have been at least 4x this amount had I gone to a hospital setting. This is a great place to go for blood tests, especially for people without insurance. I would definitely use them again. read more

Want fast, courteous, convenient service? This is the place to go. Free parking. Response time with lab results very good, too

Great service and unbelievable fees for the blood tests. I definitely recommend them to anyone need to get blood tests done.

The last time I had blood work done at a doctor's office, I waited for about a month and a half - finally made a call - and then the results were given to me. Assumedly, (Loyola) I got lost in the shuffle of a very large place. Another time, the results showed that my thyroid was dangerously low and the top of the page mailed to me said that I was just fine - fell within in the normal range (good thing I understood where TSH levels should be).. At Unilab - walked in, blood drawn and results e-mailed within a few days. I pay out of pocket, but save a lot of aggravation... Reasonable prices.... read more

Very professional and willing to work with your schedule. Was able to obtain copies of my results without any red tape or delay. Highly recommended. Easy to find parking. read more

This is the most efficient and accurate service you will receive in town. Not only are the prices comparatively lower than any other lab but it is also well worth it. There are no hassles, no gimmicks and you get exactly what you need, when you need it. In addition, the staff is very helpful and kind. They are very accommodating and generous and are very insightful. I had a very pleasant experience here and recommend it to anyone who is looking for fast service when it comes to blood testing. read more

I was promised a free test as part of the many other tests I was doing. When I saw the report, the results for free tests were not there. I called the doctor who did the tests and he was very wishy washy about the free test. Not very professional. Watch out when they say they will do a bonus free test....take it in writing. read more
