Dynalife DX

I can’t imagine that anyone is a fan of getting blood work (or other) done but at least at Dynalife they have you in and out in no time.
I had to go on Sunday and there are only a handful of Dynalife locations open on Sundays. This one on 66 Street was the closest to home so I set out to be there for 9am (as I had to do my test between 8−10am). I was a little shocked when I entered the brightly lit space as there were well over a dozen people in there but the team was so fast and efficient that they got us all through in no time.
The staff was super friendly and professional. The space was clean and very bright. And, despite that dozen or so people, there were at least a dozen or more empty chairs still available in the vast waiting room, which was a huge bonus.
The only downside is that this parking lot is a paid lot (as it is within walking distance to the Grey Nuns and I would imagine many people would try to park there). Dynalife has a sign on their door to remind you to pay before you come in (thank you for saving me the potential ticket!) and it’s $ 3 for all day parking on Sundays. My understanding from a parking lot chat with another patron is that it’s $ 3/​half hour during the week… but I can’t confirm that for you. All I can tell you is bring some coin or your credit card or… try another Dynalife location, if you can/​if that’s important to you.

I went here to get some blood work done today. No one likes getting needles (well, almost no one) and it is not a joyful experience. I can only imagine how frustrating it can be for these nurses. They probably get yelled at all the time.
I showed up at 7:15am. The information sheet I had read that it opened at 8:00, but I guess my sheet was old and they had changed their hours. There was a sign up that said the wait time was about 20 minutes.
I did end up waiting 45 minutes, but they can’t really help that. The nurse I had was very gentle and the blood work did not hurt at all.
This location was pretty good because it is close to my house and the nurses were really nice. My only complaint is how busy it gets. I am pretty sure this is the way it is throughout all Dynalife centres.
