Super quick wait.
I went during my lunch break and I think I was in there for 5 minutes.
The nurse was very nice while being quick and efficient.
I was in and out in less than 15 minutes, which for a blood lab (at least in the states..) is absolutely amazing.
Sure, they aren't super friendly but I don't need them to be. I need them to be quick and efficient. And they are. The place is also easy to bike to and find. Win.

The nurses/health technicians are friendly and gentle.
What a breath of fresh air compared to most other labs in the city!
I wanted to check a couple of bloods so pottered along to my friendly local family doctor, Dr Stendardo at Appletree in Village by the Grange (yelp.ca/biz/appletree-me…). It was another efficient visit. He printed off the necessary forms and I trotted off. The laboratory indicated was this Gamma-Dynacare on Edward Street nearby.
