Outpatient laboratories are popular services that provide patients with a convenient method of receiving diagnostic tests without requiring a hospital stay. With one quick visit, patients can receive a myriad of tests that provide doctors with important information. These tests, in addition to physical examinations, offer a comprehensive overview of the patient’s overall health.
Blood and body fluids provide valuable information that are unobtainable through other means. With regular diagnostic lab testing, patients are in a prime spot to receive early diagnosis and treatment for potential issues.
Tests are scheduled by appointment. This way, your doctor has a chance to tell you what to do to prepare for your testing, which sometimes require fasting. In some cases, specimens may be collected at home and dropped off at the testing facility.
The outpatient lab hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays.
The Oil City lab is open Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.
