About Us

Shale Diagnostics team has over 30 years of combined experience in the medical diagnostics field and recognized a growing need within the local business community and the oilfield industry for timely and reliable occupational health services.

Shale Diagnostics Ltd, located in Drayton Valley, is a subsidiary of Shale Medical Clinic, founded by physicians Dr. Joel Giddey and Dr. Lealet van Staden. This led to the establishment of Shale Diagnostics, designed to offer businesses rapid access to essential testing services, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for both employers and employees.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive medical testing services that are easily accessible, removing unnecessary delays or obstacles to ensure businesses can maintain productivity. Whether it’s pre-employment medicals, drug screening, or return-to-work assessments, we are dedicated to supporting the health and safety needs of the workforce with accuracy and efficiency.
