Where to get labs in California?

[harrietvane]

I just had my 9-month call with Dr Gagner. All is going pretty well (need to up my A, D and protein a bit), but he doubts the results for selenium we're getting in Singapore (two rounds of 'not detected') and wants me to get selenium and zinc retested while I'm in California.

He has a NY medical licence he'll write the request under. Any Californians with suggestions on what to do with it in the Bay Area? I'd prefer not to bankrupt myself, to not have too much hassle getting the damn things run and to be able to get the results online after the fact.

Tagging @galaxygrrl. I believe she lives in the area.

So, the two major chains of labs are Lap Corp and Quest here.

I comparison shop almost everything, but I have not done labs.

I hope this helps.

I don't know Leigh's name on here. Can somebody tag her or a link to her lab service? That might be an affordable option.

Here's a link to a thread on the topic of ordering/getting discounted labs.

This is wonderful! I can get them both nearby for under $200. Thanks so much, @Sandy!
