What are lab tests?

Lab tests refer to evaluations and assessments that gauge and monitor your health. We offer many different lab tests, covering all basic lab work you may need. Lab testing is vital as it can locate any underlying issues that may have gone unnoticed.

What do lab tests involve?

Lab tests may involve several different methods of specimen collection, including, but not limited to:

Blood
Urine
Nasal swab
Mouth swab

The specific test you need dictates the type of sample you provide. For example, if you need a complete blood count, the team takes a blood sample from an arm vein. IF you need COVID-19 testing, we will us a nasal or throat swab to take the sample necessary for testing. Some other tests may require a urine sample.

You may need to provide several types of samples if you’re having an annual physical exam or another comprehensive health and wellness evaluation.

Our providers recommend lab tests during your annual physical, which allows them to check essential aspects of your health like your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Or, you may need lab tests as part of the diagnostic process when you’re sick.
