Laboratory Tests and Results
|
Our policies for reporting results are described.
|
Some common laboratory tests are performed on site in our office. These include urinalysis, urine culture, rapid strep and mono tests, throat culture and complete blood count. Other laboratory tests and x-rays are ordered by our providers to be done at labs and radiology facilities as required by your insurance carrier. The provider ordering tests will advise you about when to expect results and how the findings will be reported to you.
- Parents may call for results of throat and urine cultures performed in the office after 10:00 a.m. the following day.
- Test results are reported to the parent or adolescent only after being reviewed by the pediatrician or nurse practitioner.
- If you have questions concerning tests and results, please call our office and speak with the triage nurse.
