For your convenience, our office has an on-site patient service center of Bridgeport Hospital Laboratory.
Laboratory tests can provide you and your doctor with a comprehensive overview of many crucial levels throughout your body systems. Some tests, called screening tests, can screen you for heart disease, diabetes or other medical conditions. Other times, when you are feeling ill or experiencing new symptoms, your physician may order tests to help confirm a diagnosis. These are called diagnostic tests.
In addition to the services provided by Bridgeport Hospital, our office also conducts rapid result tests, including rapid strep, influenza, blood sugar monitoring, hemoglobin monitoring, and basic urinary tests.
The laboratory provides experienced and friendly phlebotomists: technicians specially trained and certified in blood collection.
