On-site laboratory testing/blood work

As a primary care and urgent care practice, we make sure to keep our patients as comfortable as possible during their visit. When handling complex, urgent scenarios that require testing, we provide our laboratory testing and blood work to diagnose the patient’s illness, measure quantities throughout the body, find data related to their symptoms, and advance into treatment. Our primary care facility works to treat our patients with efficient, qualitative health care services that focus on giving people the most out of their visit with Dr. Porter.

Why We Provide Laboratory Services

Only a small percentage of primary and urgent medical practices offer their laboratory services because caring for a patient during their visit requires significant financing, certifications, and time to provide this service. However, primary care settings that incorporate urgent care services require staff members to perform laboratory services quickly and efficiently to provide timely diagnosis and treatment. In scenarios where life-threatening conditions pertain to the patient, finding the cause of their symptoms through laboratory testing and blood work can help save lives and get them the treatment they need.

At Capital City Primary & Immediate Care, we offer blood work and laboratory services to our patients because we have observed the following:

• Cohesive Treatment: When prescribing a patient with a laboratory test, often patients find it difficult to communicate with laboratories and receive their test results due to illness, location, and inconvenience it brings. Providing it all within one setting helps save the patient time and costs,
• Timely Returns: Our practice can perform laboratory work and blood testing within a few hours to a few days. Our patient’s medical information can be gathered and analyzed right at our office, leading to fewer communication issues and inconsistencies in service.
• Efficient Scheduling: For follow-up appointments, the patient does not need to schedule a follow-up that coincides after their laboratory work. They can easily return to our office in little to no time at all.
• Enhanced Patient Engagement: Patients can become more engaged and active in their health care, and enable the physician to adjust the course of their treatments with the patient based on current physical condition and laboratory results.
