Our team has many years of combined experience to provide you with very skilled care every time you visit. You can expect us to work together in a compassionate and caring manner. We will protect your privacy and minimize wait times while providing a comfortable and clean environment. 

Our laboratory services consist of a full-range of diagnostic and follow-up testing. We have state-of-the-art equipment, enabling us to provide quality care for inpatients, outpatients, local nursing homes, wellness programs, practitioner clinics and the Emergency Department.
