How do I find out about lab or x-ray results?

TEST RESULTS POLICY

Lab and test results are processed as quickly as possible to get the results to our patients. This process can take up to 2 weeks, so please allow us 2 weeks to get the results to you.

For normal test results we will mail a letter to the patient within 2 weeks.

If there is a critical or urgent test result, we will call the patient immediately to give the results and any follow-up ordered by the physician.

Abnormal labs, which aren't critical, but do require additional follow-up or explanation our advice nurses will call the patients within 2 weeks.
