Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the service for its efficiency and ease, highlighting the straightforward booking process and quick response times. Many people appreciate the helpfulness of the staff and the smooth user experience, often noting the convenience of local phlebotomy facilities and timely results with informative doctor's comments. However, some customers also noted occasional delays in receiving results, which they found concerning, especially for medically critical situations. A few other people also felt that the process between the hospital and the provider was unclear to navigate, and that the booking procedure could be cumbersome due to the need to arrange appointments with hospitals not directly connected to the company.

Comparison between services in two different countries

I am from South africa. When i do my tests there, i get my results in the next two hours. Here it takes 2 to 3 working days which was spread over a long weekend which did not help my case. The cost of the INR is horrendous. I pay about £8 privately in SA compared to £60 in the UK. Quite shocking.....

Absolutely top class service from Blue Horizon, and also Spire Hospital. A very fair price and helpful admin staff, as well as Spire Hospital Carfiff's Outpatient Nurses doing their utmost for the appointment arrangements / requirements for request form etc. to be smooth. I would certainly use again.

Professional, Fast and Good Value for Money

The test was good value for money and easy to arrange. I was worried about something and I knew that the NHS is not resourced to test for what I wanted merely as a preventative measure. I saw a local professional phlebotomist, the bloods were drawn most efficiently/effectively and the results were back within the 15 day window as advised. I found the doctor's comments extremely informative too.

Results back sooner than published. I asked for a Doctor’s comment which was in more depth than expected.

Excellent service

Excellent service , easy to attend Spire for phlebotomy which many other companies don't offer. This is important, not a fan of using finger tests which are difficult and uncomfortable. Results are given promptly and the doctor's remarks help with understanding the tests. Been using this service for a few years now and will continue to do so in the future

The blood tests are easy to book

The blood tests are easy to book, the packages provide good cost effective way to test various things. the hospital provides flexibility and ease to find an appropriate appointment time. Sadly, my routine blood tests are no longer provided by GP so this is a good way to check levels.
