Vitamin D testing
6/8/2020 at 4:58 PM

I am wondering if anyone knows where to get your vitamin D levels tested. I understand it’s not a test done routinely done by doctors and wondering if a local naturopath doctor does it.

Grace, a GP or NP can only order Vitamin D levels in very specific situations - see the photo I attached.

Sorry, I don't know the answer as to if/ which alternative providers can order it.

GhOsTID said "Looks like I should be tested for my levels according to the eligibility criteria... then again I was supposed to go back for some tests beginning of the year but haven't and don't really want to. Weeeee! "
You don't want to go for tests because you don't want the results?

I feel very safe at the Brandon Clinic when I have been at the lab, all techs are gowned, gloved, masked and even wearing face shields.
