Can laboratory tests be done during the housecall?
A. Yes. We can virtually transport our office in a doctor’s bag, including laboratory equipment for testing. Some of the tests that we can do on housecalls are: instant blood testing for glucose, electrolytes, kidney function, and blood count; strep, mono, influenza and pregnancy tests; urine dip analysis. Tests can also be arranged at a lab of your choice. For more complicated testing like STD’s, we send specimens collected during the housecall or office visit to a lab for processing.
