What are on-site labs and X-rays?

Am I a candidate for on-site labs and X-rays?

A Doctor's Own Urgent Care expert evaluates you to determine if you need on-site labs, X-rays, or other diagnostic tests. They check your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs, complete a physical exam, and discuss your medical history and symptoms.

You might need more than one type of diagnostic test or a referral to another specialist for a complex or severe medical condition.

What should I expect during on-site labs and X-rays?

What you can expect during on-site diagnostic testing depends on the reason for your test. You might complete a blood test, urinalysis, tissue swab, or stool test to accurately diagnose potential health problems and create an effective treatment plan. Your specialist typically receives lab test results the same day or the next day.

During painless X-rays, you simply rest in a comfortable position without moving. Your provider might ask you to hold your breath while the X-ray machine takes pictures of internal body structures. You may need X-rays to determine if you have a broken bone, lung infection, swallowed object, or another medical concern.
