Awanui Labs (previously Canterbury SCL) - Hornby

I have visited them several times, and the staff has always been very helpful and friendly. Mornings can be quite crowded; I once waited an hour for my turn. If you want to avoid the crowds, try to visit before 10 AM or in the afternoons after 2 PM. Those times have worked well for me.

I had an amazing experience with Jocelyn. I'm usually very nervous with needles, but she made the blood extraction painless that I barely felt a thing. Thank you so much.

Online booking system should not have the dates written in the American way eg. 2024-12-20. This can be confusing, as today at least three people got it wrong. NZ dates are 20-12-2024.nThe blood test itself was very good, didn't feel a thing.

I've been here several times and it's almost always the same, friendly staffs and a clean place! It's probably the best lab in Christchurch based on my personal experience.

The most frustrating experience out of Awanui Labs visited. Little to no progress in seeing people within 20 minutes.
