Laboratory Services
We operate an on-site, high-complexity, state-licensed, CLIA-accredited lab that meets rigorous federal and state standards for accuracy and quality. Our nationally certified technicians provide precise, timely results, and our skilled phlebotomists prioritize patient comfort during blood draws. Most routine tests are processed in-house for faster turnaround, while specialized services—such as prenatal genetic and carrier screening, Pap smears, and pathology specimens—are handled through trusted reference laboratories to ensure comprehensive, reliable results.
Getting Ready for Your Lab Work

Call or use our online portal to reserve a time and minimize your wait.
Confirm lab orders
Orders from Coastal providers will be ready for your appointment. If you have orders coming from an outside provider, please call to confirm we have received them prior to your visit.
Stay hydrated
Drinking water makes blood draws easier and more comfortable. If your labs require fasting, you may still drink water.
