We have onsite laboratory testing which include taking samples of blood, urine, or body tissues. Our physicians analyze the test samples to see if your results fall within the normal range, which differs from person to person. X-rays testing is noninvasive and painless procedure that helps diagnose disease and monitor therapy, by producing images of the structures inside your body — particularly your bones.

Our Lab Tests & X-Rays
X-rays
An x-ray is a type of radiation used to create a picture of the inside of the body. As x-ray beams pass through your body they are absorbed differently by various structures in the body, such as bones and soft tissues, and this is used to create an image. X-ray imaging is also known as radiography.
Types of x-rays include:
- plain radiography, or plain x-ray
- computed tomography, known as CT scanning
- fluoroscopy — which produces moving images of an organ
- mammography — an x-ray of the breasts
- angiography — an x-ray of the blood vessels
Lab Tests
Clinical chemistry uses chemical processes to measure levels of chemical components in body fluids and tissues. The most common specimens used in clinical chemistry are blood and urine.
Many different tests exist to detect and measure almost any type of chemical component in blood or urine. Components may include blood glucose, electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, lipids (fats), other metabolic substances, and proteins.
- Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
- Lipid Profile.
- Thyroid Test(s)
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) with or without White Blood Cell (WBC) Differential.
- Prothrombin Time (PT) with INR & Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT)
- Urinalysis (UA)
- A1C test—also known as the hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test—is a simple blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months
