Which lab tests are right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for lab tests and which are best for you, a Primary & Urgent Care South specialist weighs you, reviews your medical history, and checks your vital signs. They also complete a physical exam before determining which diagnostic tests you may need.

What happens during lab tests?

What to expect during lab tests at Primary & Urgent Care South depends on the type of testing you undergo. Your provider may ask for a urine sample, take a blood sample, or swab the inside of your nose, throat, mouth, or other areas. During a biopsy, they numb the treatment area and remove a small sample of tissue. They send the sample to a lab for analysis.

What do my lab test results mean?

You might receive lab test results soon after undergoing the test, later the same day, the next day, or after several days. When the Primary & Urgent Care South team receives the results, they discuss them with you.

If you’re a candidate for treatment, your specialist reviews the various options with you. You might simply need rest and fluids at home, watchful waiting, over-the-counter medicines, prescription medications, minor procedures, or specialist referrals. The Primary & Urgent Care South team makes recommendations and follows up with you during and after treatment.
