Try your: primary care doc. Any clinician can order medically indicated routine lab tests. Why do you want to check your WBC count? Are you having symptoms?

Primary care: Hi. That's a test we ll order frequently. Any doc you see can order a complete blood count with white blood cell differential. If you have an abnormality in white blood cells, a reason will be sought. Good luck!

Any: Any licensed or trainee physician can do this for you, and most can give you at least a basic interpretation. A heads-up on your CBC -- percentages of WBC's mean nothing, values fluctuate from hour to hour, and minor deviations from reference range (except a mild anemia) mean nothing.

Family doctor: Your family physician can order a CBC to determine you white blood cell count if s/he feels it is indicated.
