The time frame for receiving pathology results varies depending on the test. Basic tests like blood work may return results within 24 to 48 hours, while more complex tests could take several days or longer. Your doctor will inform you of the expected time frame.
How will I receive my pathology results?
Your results will be sent directly to your pathology requesting doctor, who will review them with you during a consultation either in person, via telehealth, or by phone. In some cases, results may be uploaded to your patient portal, but you should wait for your doctor to interpret the results. Some pathology providers offer online portals where you can view your results directly, please check with the pathology providers directly. However, it’s essential to consult your doctor for an accurate interpretation of the results.
Will my psychiatrist or paediatrician have access to my pathology results?
Yes, if your pathology request was made through our clinic, your psychiatrist or paediatrician will receive the results directly to discuss with you during a follow-up appointment.
