I have over twenty years of experience working with difficult veins. Because of this, I always have butterflies and heat packs with me and have earned a reputation for quick, nearly painless draws.

The lab will email your results to the ordering physician. Stat results are generally available within four hoours, and most labs have a 24-hour turnaround time. Send-out labs take about four days, and kit draws take about two weeks.

For fasting draws, you can schedule an appointment a week in advance. For non-fasting draws, you can schedule a day in advance, as long as your timeframe is flexible.
