What types of on-site labs are available?
On-site labs at Warehouse Primary Care & Specialty Clinic include bloodwork, X-rays, and ultrasounds.
Bloodwork
Bloodwork includes blood tests that assess health, evaluate organ function, and screen for diseases.
Types of bloodwork may include a complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia, basic metabolic panel (BMP) to screen for diabetes and kidney disease, or lipid panel to check blood cholesterol levels.
X-rays
X-rays are imaging tests that create black-and-white images of the inside parts of your body. Bones appear white, organs gray, and air (in your lungs) black. Your provider may request X-rays to confirm or rule out a broken bone or look for signs of pneumonia.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is an imaging test that uses high-frequency soundwaves to create moving images of your internal organs, including your heart, gallbladder, kidneys, and thyroid.
Your provider at Warehouse Primary Care & Specialty Clinic uses ultrasound testing to evaluate your organs and look for signs of disease. The team specializes in women’s health and may also recommend an ultrasound to confirm a pregnancy or evaluate your reproductive organs.
When do I need on-site labs?
Your provider at Warehouse Primary Care & Specialty Clinic determines when you need on-site labs. They may request you get bloodwork done before your annual physical exam to screen for health issues.
