Important Information
-
-
To avoid delays, verify with your doctor or nurse that you have properly filled out a laboratory service request form prior to your visit.
-
Some tests require that you fast (do not eat) prior to a blood draw. Always check with your ordering doctor or nurse to determine if this is necessary prior to your visit.
-
While lab tests need to be requested by your physician, you do not need a specific appointment time for phlebotomy labs. Walk-ins are accepted.
-
If you have a central venous access device, such as a portacath or PICC line, blood draws will be done in the Infusion Center, and require an appointment time.
