Hours:

Lab Appointments:
We go by appointment time for routine scheduled labs. If you have a lab appointment 1 hr before your doctor's appointment or right after, then you will be worked in with the routine lab appointments ASAP. You must check-in with the front office upon arrival and check-out in order for the lab to be notified of your appointment.
Wait time:
If you have been waiting longer than 30 minutes for you labs to be drawn, then please inform the front desk.
Fasting Labs:
Lipid Panel--checking cholesterol levels--please drink only water and no food(or candy, gum, crackers, etc.) 10-12 hours prior to being drawn for this test. If you are a diabetic, then please inform the lab staff that you weren't able to fast due to your diabetes and the doctor will be
informed.
Transplant patients:
Please schedule your lab appointments for transplant labs prior to the time you take
the medicine. These medicines (Tacrolimus, Sirolimus, Rapamycin, Cyclosporin) must be drawn 30 minutes prior to your next dose in order for them to be accurate.
Injection patients:
If labs need to be drawn prior to the injection, the lab will draw your blood and then you will need to sit and wait in the lobby until the nurse calls you. There will be a wait if you've had labs done prior to your injection. Please remember to schedule your next lab/injection appointment with the front desk upon leaving.
Reference Labs:
Any lab tests we cannot do at our lab in office will be sent to our preferred Reference lab CPL, then LabCorp and Quest depending on the insurance.
