Getting Blood work in USA as a Canadian

[akirez]

For any Canadian members:

How/where were you able to get blood work done while in the US? I was mainly interested in the sensitive estrogen test since I can't get it done here and lipoprotein(a)/apob.

*Canadians also have the option of ordering blood tests through Nelsons discountedlabs.com which will be done at Quest Diagnostics but you would need to find a location close to the border as you will have to drive across the border to have blood work done.

The main benefit is you would have access to the most accurate assays for TT/estradiol/DHT (LC/MS-MS) and FT (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration) let alone the prices offered by Nelson are reasonable (USD currency).

Indeed I'm still in NS. We're travelling to Ohio in a week so I was hoping to get it done through discountedlabs/quest but the ordering process requires a US address. Is there a way to get around this?
