Bloodwork is an important diagnostic tool that reveals health information about patients.
At Fraser Valley, we believe in staying a step ahead of diseases. One way to achieve this is to do regular blood testing. This also allows us to catch diseases early, start prevention and control and have a better chance of treating them. We have on-site bloodwork services that allow us to conduct all kinds of bloodwork – from regular blood testing, and antigen testing to pre-anesthetic checks. Our in-house laboratory means that we can process results quickly and start treatment immediately.
