Obtaining Your Lab Results

To Obtain Your Lab Results:
For a personal and confidential way to obtain your medical test results, please call our Lab Calls Messaging system phone number at: 1-866-492-3191. Please, Do NOT call the old lab number.
- Enter your social security number followed by the pound sign (#)
- You will then be prompted for your PIN number. Enter your 6 digit birthday (mm/dd/yyyy format) followed by the pound sign (#)
- At this point, follow the rest of the prompts.

Test Results General Time Frame

Routine Laboratory Tests - The office typically receives them within
2 working days and may take an additional 2 days for dictation by the
doctor.
Unusual Laboratory Tests - Any tests that are unusual in nature can
have a wide variety of time it takes prior to receiving results.
The best is to ask your nurse when these may be back and allow an
additional couple of days after that for the doctor to dictate these
results.
Radiology Studies - Any x-rays, CT Scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, and
cardiovascular tests can take an average of three days before your doctor
receives the results. Again, there may be an additional two day
delay prior to dictation.
Studies and testing outside of the Hospital System - Some testing is
done at facilities that require the mailing of tests, and/or
results. Just the time factor in mailing alone will cause a
delay. Be sure to ask the facility the expected time factor, then
add a couple of days for your doctor to receive these results and dictate
them.
Pap Smears - These results can be one to two weeks before the results
are returned to our office. We suggest that you wait at least 10
days before calling to inquire on your results.
If your lab results are not on the Lab Calls Message system, be patient and
check back the next day. If it has been more than seven business days from
the times listed above, please call your doctor's nurse and inquire
if your results are in, and if they have been dictated onto this system yet.
Please be aware that there are times when results have been dictated and the
Lab Calls Messaging is not working properly. Do not hesitate to contact our
office if you feel there is a problem with the Lab Calls Messaging
system.
