Lab/Imaging Results

The 21st Century Cures Act provides immediate access to laboratory results to patients. Therefore, your lab and test results, including bloodwork, ultrasound, mammography, and pathology reports, will be visible in your  lab/hospital portal as soon as the tests are complete and the results are available. 

Unfortunately, this means we can no longer control the timing of your results to ensure that we can review them with you personally before they are available in your portal account. Depending on when your results are delivered, your physician may be busy caring for other patients, at the hospital in surgery or labor and delivery, or out of the office.

A physician or a member of their team will contact you to explain any abnormal results and make any necessary care recommendations as soon as they are able. We appreciate your understanding.
