Dr. Essa Laboratory & Diagnostic Centre Peshawar is a medical laboratory and diagnostic facility serving patients in Peshawar and surrounding areas. The verified Peshawar branch is located near Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) in Hashtnagri, providing convenient access to laboratory testing for patients visiting the hospital, nearby clinics and healthcare facilities.
Dr. Essa Laboratory & Diagnostic Centre is part of the wider Dr. Essa Laboratory network, which provides clinical laboratory and diagnostic testing services across Pakistan. The organization offers routine as well as specialized laboratory investigations for patients, physicians and healthcare institutions. Its official website lists a broad range of laboratory tests and diagnostic services, including commonly requested blood and biochemical investigations.
The Peshawar branch provides patients with a convenient location for physician-recommended laboratory investigations, routine health screening and follow-up testing. Laboratory investigations can assist doctors in evaluating symptoms, monitoring existing medical conditions, checking treatment response and identifying potential health problems.
Common diagnostic requirements may include blood count testing, blood glucose and diabetes monitoring, liver and kidney function assessment, cholesterol and lipid testing, thyroid investigations, vitamin testing and other clinical chemistry examinations. Dr. Essa's published online test catalogue includes tests such as Complete Blood Count (CBC), Liver Function Tests, Urea/Creatinine/Electrolytes profiles, Lipid Profile, Creatinine and Uric Acid testing.
The laboratory network also provides specialized diagnostic investigations. Depending on the test, samples collected at a Peshawar branch may be processed through the appropriate laboratory facility within the Dr. Essa network. The availability of individual specialized tests can vary by branch, so patients should confirm sample requirements and processing arrangements before visiting.
Dr. Essa Laboratory also provides home sample collection services. Its official website promotes laboratory testing with free home collection, allowing patients to arrange sample collection without visiting the laboratory for every investigation. This can be particularly useful for elderly patients, people with mobility limitations and patients who require regular laboratory monitoring.
The laboratory's diagnostic services cover a broad range of medical testing areas. These may include hematology, clinical chemistry, immunology, serology, microbiology and molecular diagnostic investigations. Dr. Essa's published accreditation scope also documents testing such as TSH, Anti-HCV, HBsAg and real-time PCR for COVID-19 within its accredited laboratory scope, although accreditation scope and branch-level availability should not be assumed to be identical.
The Peshawar branch is particularly convenient for patients around Hashtnagri, Lady Reading Hospital and nearby areas. A current business listing identifies the branch as a medical laboratory near LRH and lists operating hours from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM throughout the week. The listed contact number is 0335-5577151.
Dr. Essa Laboratory has also been listed at several other locations in Peshawar, including Hayatabad Phase 5, Hussainabad/Gulbahar, Dalazak Road, PTCL Colony near LRH and University Road. These should be maintained as separate branch listings rather than combining their addresses and contact information.
Overall, Dr. Essa Laboratory & Diagnostic Centre Peshawar provides patients with access to routine and specialized clinical laboratory investigations through the wider Dr. Essa diagnostic network. Its location near Lady Reading Hospital makes it a convenient option for patients requiring blood tests, biochemical investigations, health screening and other physician-recommended diagnostic services.
Note: Dr. Essa Laboratory publishes a broad test catalogue, but the availability of individual tests can vary between Peshawar branches.
