Question

My husband already made the appointment for the doctor, but he keeps calling the lab where he has to go for the blood test and he gets no answer, some one told him he can just go between 5am and 10am (or something like that).
Is that true? Or does he need to set an appointment?
Cuz there is no answer there.
Does any one know

Hi I went to profamilia today, headquartered at 34th on caracas, the lab was on K15 34-47. They said they do lab tests 7 am to just before lunch, so I imagine most clinics do those things in the morning to have the results by the next day. It's quick and painless, I was in and out in less than a half hour and only paid 20 mil pesos for a blood test and frotis de garganta.

No appointment needed. I have had lab tests about 6 times in Cartagena. I have never needed an appointment for labs in the US either.

It’s the blood test that he has to take for his visa, before we go to the interview at the embassy he has to get a blood test done and go to a doctor so he can check him out.
The only thing is the number that is given in the packet were he has to go for the blood test, no one answers the phone there.
So I’m asking is some one has done this be 4, did you have to make an appointment to the lab to get the blood work?

hey crazygirl You don't need the appointment for lab work (for the visa.) My wife tells me that you must make the appointment with the doctor and just walk-in to the lab (early morning) and get it all done the same day. She didn't make an appointment with the lab when she went for her K1. Good Luck
