Overview

Any laboratory test can be a trying situation for anyone, but you, the patient, need to be assured that our highly respected Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory will provide definitive analysis on your case. Many times a patient may ask “what is a clinical laboratory and what is their role with my diagnosis and potential treatment?”.
Below is an explanation which will help you understand the role of MedLab.

What is a Clinical Laboratory
A clinical laboratory is a laboratory where tests are done on clinical specimens in order to get information about the health of a patient as pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. When any tissue or body fluid is removed at a physician’s office or in a hospital, this sample is given to the laboratory to examine. After examination under a microscope and other necessary testing, the laboratory technologist will provide feedback to the treating physician regarding the existence of any disease process or chemical finding. For certain diseases, the laboratory and pathologist may play an informative role in providing feedback to the treating physician regarding the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment.

Quality
If you, or a member of your family, should ever need to have a laboratory test, you should ask your physician: 1. Are you sending MY BLOOD or BIOPSY to an accredited laboratory specializing in internal medicine and does that laboratory have a BOARD CERTIFIED MEDICAL DIRECTOR specializing in areas such as:

• Hematology
• Cardiology
• Diabetic Assessment
• Cytology
• Advanced Testing

2. Does the laboratory have the EXPERIENCE, QUALITY, SERVICE AND REPUTATION you require for analysis of your body fluid or biopsy?

3. YOU have the right to specify the LABORATORY AND PATHOLOGIST YOU want to have your biopsy reviewed.
