THE PRACTICE

Testing:

Laboratory tests check a sample of your blood, urine, or body tissues. A technician or your doctor analyzes the test samples to see if your results fall within the normal range. The tests use a range because what is normal differs from person to person. Many factors affect test results. These include

Your sex, age and race
What you eat and drink
Medicines you take
How well you followed pre-test instructions

Your doctor may also compare your results to results from previous tests. Laboratory tests are often part of a routine checkup to look for changes in your health. They also help doctors diagnose medical conditions, plan or evaluate treatments, and monitor diseases.

We offer the following in house testing:

Screening

Medical screening is to identify disease in its preclinical, and therefore hopefully still curable, phase.

We offer the following disease screening exams:

CANCER

ALHZEIMERS

HYPERTENSION

PAP SMEAR

FLEX SIG

GLUCOSE
