Specimens We Collect

  • Blood draws (gentle phlebotomy; optional numbing spray)
  • Urine (spot or 24-hour if needed, with kit/instructions)
  • Stool kits for at-home collection
  • Swabs (throat/nasal/urogenital as indicated)


Fasting & Preparation

  • Fasting: If lipids or certain metabolic tests are included, fast 8–12 hours (water okay).
  • Hydration: Drink water; morning draws are often easiest.
  • Medications/supplements: Bring a complete list. Ask us about biotin timing (it can interfere with some lab assays). Do not stop prescribed meds unless your doctor instructs you.
  • Menstruation/pregnancy: Tell us—timing can affect reference ranges and certain tests.


Visit Flow (Typically 20–40 Minutes)

  1. Brief consult → symptoms/goals, medications, allergies.
  2. Test plan & quote → we order only what’s relevant.
  3. Collection → same-day blood/urine/swab; take-home kits if needed.
  4. Results → secure delivery with an English summary and treatment/referral if indicated.


Results & Delivery

  • Most routine tests: 1–2 business days (varies by assay).
  • Send-outs/specialty tests: longer; we’ll advise clear timelines.
  • Delivery options: in-clinic review, secure PDF, or telemedicine follow-up—with trend charts when useful.


Safety & Comfort

  • Single-use sterile supplies; private rooms.
  • History of fainting with blood draws? We’ll position you safely and take our time.
  • After your draw: press firmly 3–5 minutes, keep bandage 30–60 minutes, avoid heavy arm workouts same day.


When to Use the ER (not an outpatient clinic)

Go to emergency care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, confusion, fainting, black/bloody stool, or sudden neurologic symptoms. Don’t wait for routine labs.
