Answers before your visit

Most diagnostic tests need a written request from a physician. A number of screening panels can be requested directly, and the front desk will confirm which ones apply to you.

Verified reports are released to your requesting physician. You can also collect a printed copy at the laboratory counter with your official receipt and a valid ID.

Critical values are re-checked and then called directly to the requesting physician before the printed report is released, so treatment is not delayed.
