About Our Laboratory Team

Our laboratory team is proficient across all lab functions, including hematology, chemistry, and microbiology. Lab technicians mostly analyze urine, tissue, and blood samples to determine the presence of infection, bacteria, or other abnormalities. These results will then be made available to the physician who ordered testing on the patient’s behalf.

Some laboratory screenings are available within thirty minutes of testing, but often samples take up to two days to process.
