Common Tests We Perform
Our on-site laboratory offers many standard and specialty tests, including:
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Measures red and white blood cells and platelets to identify infection, inflammation, or anemia.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Evaluates blood sugar, electrolytes, and liver and kidney function—especially useful for monitoring conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Urinalysis
Detects urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney issues, or dehydration and is often used in both primary and urgent care settings.
Hormone and Reproductive Health Panels
Assesses hormone levels related to menstrual changes, menopause, PCOS, and fertility.
Infection and Disease Screening
Includes testing for thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Urgent Care Diagnostics
For immediate concerns such as flu, strep, or COVID-19, on-site rapid testing allows your provider to confirm results and start treatment the same day.
Specialized Lab Testing
Based on your symptoms, medical history, or risk factors, your provider may recommend additional tests to evaluate for:
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Autoimmune and inflammatory disorders
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid and metabolic conditions
- Vaginitis and reproductive infections
- Hormone imbalances and menopause-related changes
- Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue-related disorders
These specialized tests help your care team detect potential issues early and guide more effective treatment plans. Our lab also supports comprehensive cancer screening and early detection, offering testing that can identify signs of breast, ovarian, cervical, or uterine cancers before symptoms become advanced.
