Blood test in Gorinchem.

No. You start online yourself, without a GP referral, and will soon pick a draw location in the Optimize app in the old town, in Stalkaarsen or in Laag Dalem.

Soon you draw at a location run by Star-shl, but you schedule and pay through Optimize, without a referral, and your results come with explanations in the Optimize app. Have a referral from your GP? Then you make the appointment with the lab itself and the results go to your GP.

At 8 Star-shl draw locations in and around the town: at Huisartsenpraktijk Kalkhaven, Huisartsencentrum De Colvenier and De Roos Huisartsen, across the river in Sleeuwijk, Woudrichem and Rijswijk, and in Vuren and Hoornaar. All addresses are on this page, sorted by distance.

Yes. In Sleeuwijk you draw at De Klimroos, in Woudrichem at Zorgcentrum De Lemmenskamp on the Wethouder De Joodestraat. In the app you simply pick the address that suits you best; the lab and the results are the same everywhere.

Not automatically. You draw without a referral, so your GP need not be involved: your results come with explanations in the Optimize app, and you can always take them along to a consultation yourself.

Yes. Every draw is fasted: nothing to eat or drink from midnight, only water. You therefore come in the morning, by 12:00 at the latest, so you only postpone breakfast. The app tells you exactly how to prepare.

Usually within 24 hours of your draw. As soon as Star-shl is done, your results appear in the Optimize app, explained per value in plain language and translated into what it means for your lifestyle.
