About this location

About our Ottawa City Centre lab

Our Ottawa City Centre location at 168 Charlotte Street, Suite 402, serves downtown Ottawa, Sandy Hill, the ByWard Market, and the University of Ottawa area. This centre continues the service of our former Sandy Hill site from a modern, accessible downtown location, well suited to students, downtown workers, and central residents who want a convenient option for routine bloodwork. Walk in with your requisition and health card — no appointment needed for most tests.
