How Are Lab Tests Done?

At Coho Medical Group, all primary care services are available, including lab tests. The samples are drawn in the office and will be processed the next business day, allowing patients to get the answers they need in a timely fashion.

What Types of Lab Work Can Be Done?

The lab services offered at Coho Medical Group include a wide range of tests. Some of the most commonly performed laboratory tests include: Blood glucose tests, kidney panels, liver panels, thyroid level tests, allergy tests, and many other types of lab tests.

What is the Advantage of Doing Lab Tests Through Coho Medical Group's Membership or Direct Primary Care service?

There are two main advantages of doing lab tests through Coho Medical Group. First, the speed. In other facilities, lab tests can take days or even weeks. At Coho Medical Group, tests are handled promptly and efficiently thanks to an established relationship with a major U.S. laboratory. This means that the doctor will have test results in hand by the next day, allowing for prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment. The second advantage is cost, which is also a significant factor in lab testing today. The cost of labs can vary dramatically, by as much as hundreds of dollars, from one spot in the city to the next. The high cost of labs at other places has led the team at Coho Medical Group to negotiate with one of the largest laboratories in the nation, yielding major discounts on lab work for the patient.

How Are Lab Samples Collected?

When a patient needs lab tests, the collection process is fast and easy. An experienced staff member who is highly trained in sample collection will perform the blood collection in just a minute or two in most cases. The patient's comfort is always first, so the staff makes the process as quick and painless as possible.
