You are here: General Info :: Laboratory
We are able to perform important medical laboratory tests in both offices. Pediatric illnesses often require immediate and accurate results to help direct appropriate treatment. Our labs are approved by the federal regulatory agency CLIA to perform the following tests:
- Complete Blood Counts (CBC) with Manual Differential
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
- Serum Cholesterol
- Urinalysis
- Urine Culture with Antibiotic Sensitivities
- Rapid Strep Test (OIA)
- Throat and nasopharyngeal culture
We can also obtain specimens and arrange for transport of specimens to reference labs for specialized tests as well as for certain insurance plan lab arrangements.
Most insurance companies will pay for the tests we perform in our office lab or for the handling of specimens. Several insurance companies do not participate with our federally qualified medical office laboratory or reimburse below acceptable levels for our services. Your insurance company requires you to use only their designated laboratory. We have a list of laboratory locations for your convenience.
If you choose to have our laboratory perform certain tests to get an immediate result for your convenience, the tests are:
| Complete Blood Count (CBC) |
| Manual Differential |
| Urinalysis |
| Urine Culture/Sensitivity |
| Cholesterol |
| Rapid Strep Test (OIA) |
| In-Office Overnight Strep Test |
| Venipuncture |
| Mono |
| Lipid Profile |
The accuracy and validity of urinalysis and urine cultures in an infant or child may depend upon immediate handling of the specimen. We are unable to guarantee the timing of outside laboratory pickups and encourage these to be evaluated by our laboratory when the specimen is obtained here.
