How quickly will I get my lab results?

Quick Answer

Same-day for most rapid tests — strep, flu, COVID, RSV, urine dip, pregnancy, A1C, and EKG. Standard blood work (CBC, CMP, lipid panel, thyroid panel) runs 24 to 72 hours. Specialized send-out tests (hormone panels, genetic testing, pathology) typically take 2 to 7 days. We contact every patient with their results — including normal ones — with plain-language interpretation, not just a number on a portal.
