Medichecks Anmeldelser 

Medichecks are great. Thanks to them I discovered I had a Macroprolactinoma five years ago which the GP had ignored. I am now treated by the NHS but even so I continue with a full male hormone test through Medichecks every six months. This allows me to keep an eye on the other hormones which the NHS will not follow but may be affected by the pituitary. I'm so glad I was advised of your services. Thank you

I booked a nurse to take my blood and everything from receipt of the kit, the blood sample and the report was quick and efficient. The results felt personal to me and we're, in my case, reassuring. Would recommend.

Very quick Service. Easy to understand instructions ,ie where to go for bloods etc .Would definitely, use again if need be .

I liked the attached information.
The improvement I’d like to see it if a measurement is high or low then suggestions. Could be made on how to make changes… what foods should or should be eaten, or is someone training to hard or not enough… and in regards to TRT rather that’s stating to high or to low, could you suggest the correct dosing?

Very prompt results which were clearly explained.

Had to wait a long time for product to arrive , instructions not very clear, I would not recommend this company yo anyone else.

The ease and speed at which service is delivered

Very comprehensive test. A very quick turn around for results. The advantage of having a nurse come to home to take blood sample and then post it

Great product, clear instructions make it easy to take your sample, and really quick turnaround of accurate results allowing me to monitor my condition

The service provided by Medichecks was exceptional throughout the whole process. It was seamless from ordering, instructions on use via a video, and receiving my results which were extremely swift and informative. I would 100% recommend.

Very easy to use blood test, results came so quickly with good information about results, excellent service will definitely use again.

Superb service very clear instructions two days for results and clear concise results

I’ve used medichecks on a number of occasions, they always provide a quick service for processing blood tests and provide a detailed report from a doctor. This service helped diagnose a thyroid issue, vitamin deficiencies and provided recommendations which gives me piece of mind. I really recommend this service if you feel you are not getting answers to your health concerns.

I ordered Medichecks Advanced Thyroid Function test which was delivered very quickly. I had been hypothyroid for 22 years and, despite cutting my caloric intake to starvation level, suffered uncontrollable weight gain when my damaged spine forced me to give up a very hard physical job which, as it transpired, was the only thing keeping my weight in check for so long.

The report I received from Medichecks gave me the answers. But I urge anyone going through a similar situation is firstly, to buy a Medichecks kit and secondly, refer to Dr Westin Childs, a specialist in hormonal disorders, including hypothyroidism, on his YouTube channel and blog. The NHS’s reference ranges are a travesty that is keeping hypothyroid sufferers sick with unexplained weight gain, hair loss and all the rest.

The reference ranges are what the NHS deems ‘normal’ levels for everything you are tested for, but because the ranges are so wide, it’s highly unlikely you will be deemed anything other than ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ by any GP working for the NHS. And don’t expect them to order anything as comprehensive as the Medichecks ‘Advanced Thyroid Function’ test either. You will be lucky to get a test for T4 (as in common thyroid medication like Levothyroxine and Synthroid) and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) and with such wide reference ranges, the GP will tick ‘normal’ on their computer and send you on your way. Ah! There’s nothing quite like a tick box is there? Never mind that the person sitting not more than 3ft away is visibly struggling and stressed to the max. Unfortunately, most GPs think TSH and T4 is the only game in town, and NHS labs that test your blood will actively block any further testing if these levels are ‘in range’, so God help you if you have a T4/T3 conversion problem because the NHS won’t allow GPs to request a T3 test, much less prescribe T3 hormone such as Cytomel.

The only way to get to the truth is by using Medichecks to test for a wide range of things because they are an independent lab and not subject to NHS restrictions. But, and this is a big BUT, the Medichecks doctor writes the report, still using the NHS reference ranges, so take heed of Dr Childs’ more accurate numbers for the things that really matter such as ‘insulin’, T3 and Vitamins etc. I went about it by asking ai to look at Dr Childs’ preferred ranges and then interpret my results as a comparison. My results identified that I was deficient in Vitamins D & B12 as well as iron and magnesium. I didn’t have a T4/T3 conversion problem, but these deficiencies amounted to the same thing; my cells were starving and being prevented from burning fat as fuel, and my hair loss attributable to the same deficiencies.

In short, everything was fixable, but the NHS test would have completely missed it all. Medichecks also tests for other things as well, not just thyroid dysfunction. The thing that makes me really angry is a healthcare system in which I have always worked and paid into all my life (now aged 72) is wilfully ignorant of this complex condition and care for hypothyroid patients is done on a shoestring. Even the most commonly prescribed T4 medication, Levothyroxine, is on the cheap, yet 40% of thyroid patients so prescribed, are not helped by it and just pile on the pounds etc.

I am so glad I purchased this test from Medichecks because it gave me the answers I desperately needed to turn things around. And peace of mind? Worth every single penny.

Excellent service,really clear instructions on equipment usage .Excellent response time once sample had been received.Concise and clear information and breakdown of my cholesterol status.Very reasonable cost ,I would definitely use Medichecks again .

I think it was easier than I thought to arrange the blood tests because I was overthinking it however the nurse was really kind and reassuring me that she will mail the results and get everything dealt with so I was grateful for that.

Quick results

Easy to follow instructions, quick turn around results and detailed doctors report for guidance all within a reasonable price point.

Medichecks, great service, reasonably priced, but can you really put a price on your health and peace of mind. Have used this service a number of times now, and I'm always impressed with the truly professional service.
