Lab Orders and Appointments

Appointments are required for the following services:
- Pre-employment drug screenings
- Breath alcohol collections
- Bone marrow biopsies
- Phlebotomies requiring scheduled time
Pathology Consultation
Our pathologists are available for consultation if you or your provider have questions about specific laboratory tests.

Some tests require fasting to ensure accurate results.
Please fast for at least 10 hours before tests involving:
- Lipid panel (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL)
- Glucose testing
- Basic Metabolic Profile (BMP)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP)
If you’re unsure whether your test requires fasting, feel free to contact us for guidance.
