Blood Work Lab Recommendation

[match]

Long story short: my healthcare provider will do a total T lab for me, but won't check my Free T unless my total T is under 200 (which I'm not even close to).

I have gotten a Total T + Free T lab done once before through a 3rd party provider (TRT clinic), but it cost me $80, and they had to set everything up. I'd like to get the lab done again now and maybe every six months or so after that, just to track it, but it would be nice to be able to set up the labs without using a 3rd party (and it'd also be great to find one with a lower price tag).

Anyone have a recommendation for a place to get labs done in the San Francisco bay area, California?

I live in CT so idk about in your area, but generally you just find a online private lab and then you see where locations are near you to get bloods drawn.

So go online, try something like private MD labs and then look for a LabCorp or quest diagnostics near you

LabCorp was the place the 3rd party sent me to. I tried to go back there on my own and they said they won't run tests for me without the involvement of a healthcare provider.

I'll take a look into your suggestions and see if I can find an option. Thanks for the info!

Labs won't run test because all they do is drawl the blood and send it out. This is where Private MD Labs comes into play. You pay them to do the testing, then they send the paperwork to the lab.
