Streamlining Healthcare: The Benefits of In-House Lab Services at Westgate Family Physicians

In today’s healthcare world, having timely access to accurate diagnostic services, such as lab work, is crucial for achieving optimal health outcomes. Because we recognize the importance of seamless diagnosis and treatment, Westgate Family Physicians is proud to offer in-house lab services that offer many benefits to our patients.

Quick Results

Waiting for lab results can be a source of anxiety and uncertainty, especially when the results may indicate more serious health concerns. But even if the lab work is just routine, no one wants to compound the wait time by coordinating around a separate lab’s hours or potential delays in lab processing. By eliminating the external lab, we can prioritize rapid turnaround times to deliver results faster, so you can stay informed about your health.

By integrating our lab services into our practice, you get an efficient process that minimizes disruptions to your daily routine.
