5 Star Service
Sister Swanepoel was professional, thorough, and gentle when I popped in to have some blood tests done. The ladies at reception were helpful and friendly. The whole experience went smoothly thanks to the caring spirit at Ampath and definitely eased my anxiety about the whole thing.

First time visiting Ampath, and what a wonderful experience! Everyone was friendly and welcoming and Sr Kim did an amazing job at skillfully drawing blood. Well done!

The sister that did my blood tests was absolutely sweet, she was gentle and patient with me because I told her I was scared of blood and needles. She also went out of her way to advise me on brands of vitamins that I should buy from the store to help with my energy levels. The admin, Brandon was also very helpful over the phone and in person. Overall great experience at this branch.
