Patients are NOT to assume results are normal unless they see results on patient portal or are contacted by our office. From prior experiences patients do not like to be reminded to get diagnostic tests done and are annoyed or feel harassed when reminded to get them done thus we stopped reminding patients of past due testing. Thus, many instances we have no control of when and where patients get the testing done and we might not receive the results for many reasons. We encourage all our patients to let us know or call us back after getting tests done if they have not heard form our office within a reasonable period of time and NEVER assume we got normal results.

LAB : We use Clinical Pathology Laboratories but patients are free to use any laboratory they want. We encourage patients to sign up for online access to lab results directly through our patient portal. Our patient portal information system allows the patient to view the lab and imaging result. Abnormal lab results necessitate an appointment.
