Many tests don’t require you to do anything in advance. Others may require you to fast or follow other instructions. Fasting usually means no eating or drinking anything after midnight on the night before the test. Your doctor will let you know if you need to do anything to prepare for your test.

You may be asked to collect a urine or stool specimen at home to drop off. Your doctor will provide you with a special container and let you know the best way to collect the specimen.

Please be sure to bring a form of ID and your insurance card.

If you are having a blood test, a phlebotomist (a person who draws blood) will use a needle to take a sample of blood. In most cases, blood is drawn from a vein in your arm, so wear clothing that allows access to your forearm. Some of our labs offer special technology to help phlebotomists see your veins, resulting in safer, more accurate blood draws.

You are not alone, many people have a fear of needles. Let us know how you feel, our lab specialists have capabilities that help reduce pain and discomfort.
