How do I find out my test results? 

We understand patients are anxious to receive test results. Most routine lab test results are received in the office and reviewed by the physician within a week, but some tests take somewhat longer. 

If a test result is found to be a critical value, you will be notified at once by the provider. All other test results will be relayed to you by mail, patient portal or a telephone call from your provider's assistant. 

If you have not received your test results within ten days, please call and leave a message requesting the results. Your provider's assistant will be glad to return your call.
