In-House Labs Q & A

Does Personal ConciergMed offer in-office labs?

At Personal ConciergMed, under Dr. Lianet R. Tuduri's guidance, our in-office lab services complement our urgent care and IV therapy offerings, providing a seamless and comprehensive healthcare experience. This synergy ensures patients receive prompt, efficient, and comprehensive care tailored to meet their unique health needs, all under one roof. 

What types of in-office lab tests can you access at Personal ConciergMed?

At PCM, you can access labs that include:

  • Influenza A&B
  • COVID
  • RSV
  • Rapid strep throat 
  • Mononucleosis
  • Urinalysis
  • Fecal occult blood
  • Pregnancy tests
  • H. Pylori 
  • Glycosylated hemoglobin 
  • Glucose
  • EKG

Lab tests use fluids like blood and urine to diagnose illnesses, assess problems like nutrient deficiencies, and monitor treatment for chronic diseases like diabetes, hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels), and high blood pressure.

These tests are usually quick and painless, although you might feel a sharp scratch when your provider inserts a needle into your arm vein during a blood draw. If you dislike needles, numbing cream applied beforehand ensures the process is comfortable.

At PCM, we also have onsite diagnostic imaging facilities, including state-of-the-art mobile X-ray and whole-body ultrasonography.

What benefits do you have when in-office labs are available?

Some of the many benefits in-office labs offer include:

Enhanced Convenience

Patients enjoy the ease of receiving diagnostics and care in a single location, avoiding the hassle of visiting external lab facilities.

Quicker Diagnosis and Treatment

In-office labs speed up the process of obtaining test results, leading to faster diagnoses and the initiation of treatment.

Improved Coordination of Care

With direct access to lab results, healthcare providers can offer more personalized and efficient treatment plans.

Cost Savings

The integration of labs within the medical practice can reduce the need for multiple appointments and eliminate additional travel expenses.

Concierge Medical Practice Advantage

Being part of a concierge medical practice like PCM means that follow-ups and treatments are streamlined and personalized, enhancing the overall healthcare experience.

When testing requires external laboratory analysis, blood draws are conveniently performed in-office at PCM, and our office handles the delivery to your preferred lab, all covered under your membership. However, the range of in-office labs available is so extensive that you wouldn’t often have to go elsewhere.
