Patients overview
Laboratory testing is an essential part of the disease diagnosis, treatment and management.
At Pathology Laboratories, the region's leader in outpatient laboratory testing, we provide accurate information that our customers need and we do it with the utmost efficiency. We perform thousands of lab tests everyday for adults, children and seniors.
Convenience
We know that your life is full of activities and that's why we have convenient hours at our Patient Service Centers (PSC). These centers open early in the morning and stay open till after work, so you can easily fit a lab test into your day - we even have Saturday morning hours. And, you never need an appointment - walk-in service is our way of doing business. Plus, we will handle all the paperwork so there's not a long pre-registration process. If you are stuck at home or a family member is unable to come to one of our centers, our technicians will make a home visit when directed by a doctor's order.
Results
Getting results is what we are all about. We work closely with physicians and their office personnel to get reliable results quickly. In most cases, results are available within 24 hours. STAT and Same-Day testing are available upon the request of your physician.
Your doctor is the best one to interpret your lab results and share them with you. If you would like to receive copies of your results from Pathology Laboratories, please complete and submit a Record Request Form as instructed on the form.
Your lab results are a private matter and you can be confident that the procedures we follow will protect your privacy.
