Test Results
We will always try to contact you once an abnormal lab result has been obtained.
Routine blood test results are available within 2-3 working days, and culture results within 4-6 working days.
The blood test for alpha-fetoprotein takes 10-12 days, as do the amniocentesis results and we will call you with these special test results as soon as we have them.
We use Primex Labs for our Blood and Urine Tests and Cultures. They are a reliable, high quality lab whom we trust, they provide results in a timely fashion and they are conveniently located in our building (the Blood Draw station is in Suite 205 one floor above our office, the lab itself is in Van Nuys, CA (818) 779-0496).
We use Pasadena Cytopathology Group at Huntington Hospital for most Pap Smears and Tissue Specimens.
Make Sure you know which Lab is required by your Insurance Plan
It is possible that the above labs may not be contracted with your health insurance plan. There are many different plans; each with their own preferred labs. Therefore, we are unable to accept the responsibility of knowing which lab to use. If this is a concern, we urge you to contact your insurance company or health plan.
If you wish to have your blood work, Pap smear or tissue sample performed or processed at a different lab, other than mentioned above, it is your responsibility to let us know in advance.
Thank you for your understanding.
