Lab Work

For your convenience, we have a lab technician on-site to draw your blood should your physician order lab testing.  All testing is sent to either Piedmont Medical Center pathologists or to Lab Corp, a national laboratory, for processing.  The results are sent directly to your physician.  You will incur charges directly from these outside sources.

Getting Test Results

If your doctor has ordered routine lab tests, X-rays, or procedures, please give our office two weeks to notify you with the results before calling the office. This time is required so the provider has time to review the results and document a treatment plan. When your lab work is done you will be given a card with your confidential identification number and the phone number to call (888-567-8723) to retrieve your test results.  If your results are abnormal, you will be contacted directly by your provider's nurse, so that your questions can be answered and appropriate follow-up can be arranged.  If you have not received the results of your lab work within 14 days, please contact the phone nurse and inquire about the results of your tests.

All patients undergoing mammograms will receive a notification letter from the facility performing the mammogram 7-14 days after the test is performed.  If the result is normal, you will not receive a follow-up call from our office.  If there is any abnormality, you will receive a call with recommendations and instructions for follow-up.  In the event you receive a letter with abnormal results from the facility, please contact our office for further instructions.  If you haven't heard from either the facility or our office within 14 days after your mammogram, please call the office.
