At a recent Unilocal event at Dr. Machelle Perkins’s acupuncture clinic over in Largo, many of us were exposed to the extensive blood chemistry analysis offerings provided by SpectraCell Laboratories. I chose to sign up for the micronutrient panel and also the cardiometabolic panel to get a better understanding of what’s going on inside of my body, and how my system processes and retains various vitamins and nutrients. The doctor’s office processed all of my insurance paperwork, and then gave me a script to visit a lab for the blood draws. Unfortunately my normal lab(Quest) doesn’t handle blood draws for SpectraCell, but I was referred to Any Lab Test Now down on Kennedy Boulevard. These folks are located just to the west of the intersection of Dale Mabry Highway, and right next door to the Outdoor Kitchen Store, in a small strip mall. I called ahead of time, and the phlebotomist said that I didn’t need an appointment, but just to come on in before 5pm so the results would go out that same day. I rolled in about 4pm and met my Unilocal friend Anna M., who was also having blood drawn for her SpectraCell analysis. The guy reviewed my paperwork, then zipped me back to the exam room for a fast and painless blood draw, and I was done in about 10 minutes. Anna was next, and since I didn’t hear any shrieks of terror I will assume that her draw was equally painless. According to the literature in their waiting room, these folks offer blood tests, DNA tests and drug tests, even without a physician script. They can provide annual blood checkups, testosterone, PSA, pregnancy, hormone, allergy, nutritional or STD testing at the best price possible. I was real impressed by the quality of service, and will gladly recommend these people if you happen to be looking for a laboratory testing clinic.
