Hi my fastlege will not refer me for some blood tests that I believe I need. I am willing to pay to have this done privately but not sure where to look. Can anyone refer me to a clinic who will do some routine blood tests for me? Thanks.

Not specifically sure about Stavanger area but I know Dr. Dropin, Aleris or Volvat are possible options if your fastlege won't send you to take said tests.

If you were in Oslo said case would be much as easier as you could just drop in at Furst Medisinske and request the specific tests you want done.

Hope you find what you are looking for and I will update if I find further info about options in the Stavanger area.

Best Regards BM

Hi, I tried asking Dr Dropin before and got this response:

______(Dr. Dropin)

Its always up to the doctor to decide what kind og blood test thats needs to be taken on a appointment, from a medical

perspective. So we cant guarantee anything unfortunately.

Sincerely, ______

Dr. Dropin

Which does not seem promising. I don't want to have to pay for a consultation and not even be assured of receiving the test.
