Labtests

Formerly called Diagnostic Medlabs (in fact I think that sign is still there), Labtests in Manurewa is where you go if you need to get a blood test done. Google tells me they also deal with Quantiferon, Mantoux Tests and
Standard Tests, although I’m not quite sure what they are.
They are in a handy location — in that block of shops on Great South Rd near Manurewa library. They’re right next to a pharmacy and health centre too, which is also handy.
The place itself consists of a large waiting area which can get reeeally full, especially on weekends (I had to wait almost 40mins for a test once because it was just so busy). The rooms that they take the tests with are completely bare, white, no decorations or posters or anything — make me feel like I’m in a mental institute. But that’s okay, since you’re only there for all of 1 minute.
The ladies that do the tests are quiet and don’t talk much aside from telling you to lift your sleeve etc. They don’t seem too enthusiastic, but then again, it’s not really a riveting job I guess. They get the job done, though.
