Blood Tests
Blood tests
Our practitioners may order blood tests to screen for health problems, diagnose symptoms, confirm diagnosis, or monitor certain conditions. Depending on the type of test ordered, preparation can vary (for example, some tests may require a certain duration of fasting). Drawing laboratories are conveniently located throughout the Pioneer Valley. Please note, your insurance carrier may provide specific guidance or requirements for in-network laboratories.
