Outpatient Lab
Comprehensive Diagnostic Test Services
Outpatient laboratories are popular services that provide patients with
a convenient method of receiving diagnostic tests without requiring a
hospital stay. With one quick visit, patients can receive a myriad of
tests that provide doctors with important information. These tests, in
addition to physical examinations, offer a comprehensive overview of the
patient’s overall health.
Blood and body fluids provide valuable information that are unobtainable
through other means. With regular diagnostic lab testing, patients are
in a prime spot to receive early diagnosis and treatment for potential issues.

A physician order is required to draw your blood. Most lab tests can be

home and dropped off at the testing facility.
