Paediatric Phlebotomy

Dr Vijay Iyer offers private paediatric blood testing at MUMS Solihull for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. We do not offer finger prick testing – only venepuncture.

The cost of Paediatric Phlebotomy is £50 for the 15 min appointment for phlebotomy only with Dr Iyer plus the cost of the actual laboratory test required. This does not include any kind of consultation.

We recommend a consultant appointment with Dr Vijay Iyer which costs £240 to ensure the test is the most appropriate investigation to have - and with this type of appointment – the results are interpreted/provided free of charge via a follow up remote consultation. Whereas if you choose paediatric phlebotomy only – we simply share the result/laboratory report via email to you. To have the results interpreted you would need a consultation.
