Fast, convenient pathology collection in Prince Street

Dreading the long wait for pathology collection? Did you know Laverty Pathology have opened a new stand-alone collection centre at 104 Prince Street, Orange?

Located near the intersection of Prince and Anson Streets, next door to the Anson Street Medical Centre, Laverty Pathology’s new local collection centre offers a fast and conveniently located option for all local patients.

“Laverty Pathology have a total of 4 collection centres in Orange, including the newly opened 104 Prince St room” Laverty Pathology Collection Lead Central West Lily Quinton said.

“We are keen to let patients know they no longer have to endure long waits for pathology collection. We are open at 7.30am for fasting patients on a first come first serve basis. There is plenty of parking, and within walking distance to both 76 Prince & Colour City medical centres”.

And Laverty Pathology’s Collection services are bulk-billed for the majority of patients, Lily said.

“Yes, there aren't many that we don't bulk bill. We offer halter monitoring, blood pressure monitoring, ECGs — you name it, we do it — even genetic testing for certain patients, but the majority are all bulk billed,” she said.

Something that many people may not be aware of, Lily said, is that Laverty Pathology can accept any referral from a doctor, regardless of what collection company name is on the form.

“A lot of patients don't know that,” she said. “It doesn't matter what pathology form your doctor gives you, you can take that form anywhere to any pathology company. It's not strictly for any one company.”

Laverty Pathology’s Prince Street collection centre is open from 7.30am to 1pm, Monday to Friday, but Lily said they are happy to accommodate patients if needed.

“ We're not opposed to patients coming in right at 1pm. We're happy to facilitate what our patients need to have done,” she said.

“We also can offer home visit appointments for eligible patients. Just let your Dr know, or give us a call and we can organise.”

Laverty Pathology also has collection centres located at the Bloomfield Medical Centre, Orange Square Medical Centre and 5 McNamara Street, Orange.
