What Are Lab Services?

Lab services analyze samples such as blood, urine, or swabs to assess how your body is functioning and detect potential health concerns. At Balance Medical, our on-site lab allows us to efficiently process tests and review your results within the same visit. These tests are essential for tracking your wellness, identifying abnormalities early, and for your personalized treatment plans.

Common lab tests include:
• Complete blood counts (CBC)
• Thyroid and hormone panels
• Blood glucose and cholesterol testing
• Urinalysis and metabolic panels
• Pregnancy and prenatal screenings
• Infectious disease testing

Why Lab Testing Is Important

Routine lab testing helps identify changes in your health that may or may not cause symptoms. It provides information for diagnosing conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, anemia, and infections. Regular testing is also crucial for monitoring chronic conditions and tracking your response to treatments or medications. For expecting mothers, lab work plays a vital role in ensuring both maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy.

What to Expect at Balance Medical

When you visit Balance Medical for lab testing, our clinical team will explain the purpose of each test and ensure your comfort during the sample collection. Most tests require minimal preparation; however, certain blood draws may need fasting for accurate results. Samples are processed quickly, and once your results are available, your provider will review them with you. We focus on helping you understand your results and what they mean for your health, providing clarity when further evaluation or treatment is needed.

Personalized and Convenient Care

Our goal is to make lab testing as convenient and informative as possible. Because we offer in-office testing, patients can complete labs and review results within the same appointment, minimizing wait times and follow-up visits. Our providers take a proactive approach to wellness, using lab results to guide lifestyle recommendations, medication adjustments, or referrals to specialists when necessary.
