Laboratory diagnostics are aimed at identifying pathologies, assessing health status, and monitoring treatment effectiveness

At United Medical Clinic, we provide a comprehensive range of laboratory tests, including clinical, biochemical, immunological, and hormonal analyses, tumor markers, PCR tests, serological tests, allergy studies, as well as cytological and histological examinations and genetic testing for patients of all ages.


For your convenience, samples can be collected at the clinic or at home.


We accept samples daily from 09:00 AM to 4.30 PM, without prior appointment as well as by appointment. You can undergo any tests at our clinic without a doctor's referral.


We serve both private and insured patients. If you have a valid insurance policy, laboratory tests are billed immediately with a discount according to your insurance plan.
