On‑Site Laboratory Services for Blood Disorders

Our on-site laboratory supports the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of blood disorders by providing timely and accurate testing. Many laboratory tests are performed in-house, allowing your care team to make informed decisions without unnecessary delays.

The laboratory is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (excluding holidays). If labs are needed on the same day as your appointment, please arrive 45–60 minutes early so testing can be completed before you see your provider. Our team will let you know what to expect and answer any questions.

Common Blood Disorder Tests We Perform

Our laboratory offers testing commonly used to evaluate and manage benign and malignant blood conditions, including anemia, platelet disorders, clotting disorders, and blood cancers.

These tests include:

  • Complete Blood Count (CBC) to evaluate red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
  • Iron Studies to assess iron storage and usage
  • Vitamin B12 and Folate Levels to help identify causes of anemia
  • Prothrombin Time (PT) to monitor blood clotting and anticoagulation therapy
  • Routine Chemistry Panels to assess kidney function, liver function, electrolytes, and proteins
  • Thyroid Testing to evaluate thyroid conditions that may affect blood counts

Specialized Testing for Complex Blood Disorders

For patients with more complex hematologic conditions, our laboratory provides advanced diagnostic testing used to guide diagnosis and ongoing care.

Specialized testing includes:

  • Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy to evaluate bone marrow function and identify abnormal blood cell production
  • Quantitative Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) and Beta‑2 Microglobulin, commonly used to monitor plasma cell disorders and related diseases. These tests are often performed alongside serum protein electrophoresis (SPE), immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE), and free light chain testing.

How Bone Marrow Testing Is Performed

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are typically performed on the hip bone. Your care team will explain the procedure in advance and take steps to keep you as comfortable as possible. The area is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic before a needle is used to collect marrow fluid and tissue samples. These samples are then examined to help diagnose and monitor blood disorders affecting the bone marrow.

Supporting Ongoing Blood Disorder Care

Laboratory testing is a key part of blood disorder care. By offering essential tests on-site, we help streamline diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and assess response to treatment.
