What are same-day labs?

Offering same-day, on-site labs means that you can complete your visit and lab test in one trip, at one location, for an easy, comprehensive health screening.   We'll discuss your results during your visit, and your lab results are available to you anytime on your patient portal.

What do same-day labs screen for?

Same-day lab testing allows medical providers to screen for the following conditions:

• Flu
• COVID-19
• Strep throat
• Problems with kidney function
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• High blood sugar
• Diabetes including A1c
• High cholesterol
• Electrolyte imbalances 

If you also need heart-function testing, asthma tests, allergy testing, or imaging procedures, the Hampstead Internal Medicine team ensures you receive the necessary screenings. 

You might need more than one diagnostic test to pinpoint the cause of bothersome symptoms and know if you need treatment.

Which same-day labs are right for me?

To determine which same-day labs you may be a candidate for, the Hampstead Internal Medicine team checks your vital signs, weighs you, calculates your body mass index (BMI), and reviews your medical history. 

They discuss your lifestyle habits, family history of diseases, symptoms, medications, and more. 

During a physical exam, your provider evaluates your overall health for signs of possible health problems. They examine your eyes, ears, throat, limbs, and abdomen. They also assess your reflexes, breathing, and heartbeat. 

What can I expect during same-day lab testing?

During  lab testing, your provider may swab your throat or nose, take a blood sample, or have you leave a urine or stool sample for lab analysis. 

What happens after same-day labs?

Your Hampstead Internal Medicine provider will discuss your results at your visit.  If you'd like to view your labs they are available in your patient portal.
