Blood Work |
 Almost
all types of blood work is drawn in-house by certified
phlebotomist using sterile disposable supplies. Besides
drawing, we do several studies in-house so that you
have your result before you leave the office. These
include: Lipid studies, HbA1c (diabetes test), clotting
time (Coumadin patients), and several types of urine
analysis. |
|
X-Ray studies |
 We
do our own X-Ray studied - common studies include chest X-Ray,
abdominal X-Ray, sinus X-Ray, Back X-Ray that may include the
c-spine, t=spine and lumbar spine and most joint X-Rays. These
studies are read in-house but may include inputs from
consulting radiologist - currently Summit Radiology group. |

Cardiology / Vascular work-up |
 This
include treadmill
Echocardiograms, Carotid Doppler study, Peripheral artery
study, Stress test and 12 lead EKG, all done by
certified technicians and nurses - and are reviewed by
board certified physicians including consulting
cardiologist at St.Joseph Hospital. |
|
Lung studies |
 Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) are done by certified nurse
to diagnose and monitor various lung diseases like
Emphysema, Asthma, COPD, and industrial lung diseases.
American Lng Association recommends that both COPD and
Asthma patients get yearly PFT's done to monitor their
lung health. |
Bone Density screening
 |
 We use the latest Hologic whole-body Bone Density scanner
with the new IVA technology. This allows better
visualization of the vertebral column to diagnose
Osteoporosis accurately and on time. Don't be misguided by
a negative ankle study as it may not totally rule you out
from having Osteoporosis! |
