Proper preparation can ensure the accuracy of your results. Generally, we advise fasting for a certain period before blood tests that measure glucose or lipids. We provide detailed instructions based on the specific test you're having, so when you schedule your appointment, we’ll clearly outline the necessary steps. These instructions will often include details about fasting, hydration, and any medications you might need to temporarily discontinue. Following these guidelines helps us deliver the most precise and reliable results.

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the test. Routine blood work often returns results within 24-48 hours.
