Ajax Family Practice & Walk-in Clinic offers the convenience of an on-site medical laboratory, providing patients with access to essential lab testing services without the need to visit a separate facility. Whether you need routine blood work, diagnostic testing, or physician-ordered lab services, our in-house lab ensures quicker results and streamlined care—all under one roof.
On-Site Lab Services for Ajax Patients
Having an on-site medical lab allows our team to provide more efficient, coordinated care. When your physician orders lab work, you don’t have to travel elsewhere or wait for referrals—we’ll take care of it right here in our clinic.
Our lab services include:
- Blood tests (CBC, fasting glucose, cholesterol, thyroid function, etc.)
- Urinalysis and urine cultures
- Electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG)
- Pregnancy tests
- STI testing
- Diabetes screening and monitoring
- Kidney and liver function tests

If you’re coming in for a walk-in visit or a scheduled appointment and your doctor recommends lab testing, we can typically collect samples the same day, saving you time and reducing delays in your care.
