Location Map
Cañon City, Colorado's TestMark DNA site is at 1338 Phay Avenue on the St. Thomas More Hospital campus, near Phay Avenue and Esplanade Place. It is the only TestMark DNA site in Fremont County; the nearest others are in Pueblo and Colorado Springs.
Samples for TestMark DNA in Cañon City are collected on the St. Thomas More Hospital campus at 1338 Phay Avenue, near the corner of Phay Avenue and Esplanade Place. St. Thomas More is a 25-bed CommonSpirit hospital that describes itself as sitting in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at the entrance to the Royal Gorge. Because the collection site shares the hospital's street address, the hospital is the landmark to drive toward. It is also the only TestMark DNA site in Fremont County: Florence, Penrose, Salida and Westcliffe have none, and the nearest others are in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, so for DNA testing in Cañon City, Colorado, and the rest of Fremont County, this is the address.
Fremont County keeps its court and child support offices together on Justice Center Road: the Fremont Combined Court, which handles domestic relations and juvenile matters, is at 136 Justice Center Road, and Fremont County Child Support Services is at 172 on the same road. U.S. 50, Royal Gorge Boulevard, is about two-thirds of a mile from the hospital, and Pueblo Community College's Fremont Campus is out on West Highway 50 at number 51320.
In Cañon City, TestMark DNA is at 1338 Phay Avenue, on the St. Thomas More Hospital campus.

The Sample Is a Painless Cheek Swab
Collection takes about a minute. A trained technician rubs a soft cotton swab on the inside of the cheek for each tested party. No needles, no blood, no fasting required.
Plan for 15–30 Minutes on Site
Most visits to 1338 Phay Ave in Canon City take under 30 minutes from check-in through sample collection, including the chain-of-custody paperwork completed in person.
Your Collection Is Scheduled by TestMark DNA
Collection sites in Canon City, Colorado handle chain-of-custody (legal) tests ordered through TestMark DNA. We recommend scheduling your visit so everyone arrives prepared: call (866) 702-7644 and we'll confirm the right test, book your collection, and tell you what ID to bring.
Children Can Be Tested at Any Age
Infants, toddlers, and minors are all eligible. The cheek swab is the same regardless of age. For legal tests involving a minor, the custodial parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the chain-of-custody form.

Pricing & Payment
DNA test pricing in Canon City, Colorado depends on the specific test you need. Call TestMark DNA for a free consultation. We will confirm the exact price for your situation before you visit the collection site.
Pricing Varies by Test Type
Paternity, maternity, sibling, grandparent, immigration, and home kit tests are each priced differently. Legal (court-admissible) tests cost more than personal-knowledge tests because they include chain-of-custody documentation.
Not Covered by Health Insurance
DNA paternity and relationship testing is classified as a non-medical test and is not reimbursed by health insurance plans. Payment is collected directly at the time of testing.
Free Consultation
We walk you through pricing on the phone before you commit. There is no charge to call, no charge to ask questions, and no obligation to book a test after the consultation.
Discounts for Multiple Parties
Tests that involve additional parties (for example, a paternity test that also includes the mother, or sibling tests with multiple siblings) often qualify for a per-person discount. Confirm by phone before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Canon City, Colorado?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 1338 Phay Ave, Canon City, Colorado 81212. We schedule chain-of-custody (legal) collections here for you, and results are typically returned in 3 to 5 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order or court order for DNA testing in Colorado?
A doctor's order is generally not required. However, if you are a New York State resident, a prescription, court order, or ordering by other authorized persons is required by state law for all DNA identity or relationship tests.
Can DNA testing be done without the mother present?
Yes. A DNA paternity test can be performed without a sample from the child's biological mother. Including the mother's sample is preferred when possible as it improves accuracy.
How long do DNA test results take near Canon City?
Results for a standard DNA paternity test are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days from when all samples are received at the laboratory.
Is DNA testing confidential?
Yes. All samples are packaged in tamper-proof bags and processed at an accredited laboratory with restricted access. Results are shared only with authorized individuals and are never released over the phone.
What type of sample is collected for a DNA test?
The standard sample is a buccal swab - a cotton swab rubbed gently inside the inner cheek. It is painless, non-invasive, and provides the same accuracy as a blood sample.
Will DNA test results be accepted in court?
Results from a legal DNA paternity test performed at an accredited facility may be accepted in court, provided the chain-of-custody form was completed according to laboratory guidelines. Non-legal test results are not intended for court use.
Is DNA paternity testing covered by health insurance?
DNA paternity testing is considered a non-medical test and is not covered by health insurance plans.
