How Imaging & Lab Testing Supports Your Care

Not every illness or injury requires laboratory testing or imaging. Every visit begins with a thorough medical evaluation, and your provider recommends additional testing only when it will provide valuable information to help diagnose your condition or guide treatment decisions.

Imaging and laboratory testing may help:

Confirm or rule out certain illnesses

Evaluate urinary symptoms and suspected infections

Assess injuries that require additional imaging

Support treatment planning

Determine whether additional evaluation or specialist care is needed

Rather than relying on test results alone, our providers consider them alongside your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination to develop the most appropriate plan of care.

Our Approach to Imaging & Lab Testing

At Doctors Urgent Care, diagnostic testing is integrated into your medical evaluation, not offered as a standalone service. Our goal is to provide timely answers while ensuring every test performed has a clear purpose in guiding your care.

When imaging or laboratory testing is appropriate, you can expect:

Physician-led evaluations with experienced providers and physician oversight

Testing recommended based on your symptoms and examination

On-site laboratory services for many common medical concerns

Convenient access to advanced imaging when additional evaluation is needed

Review of your results to help explain your diagnosis

Personalized treatment recommendations based on your individual needs

Referral for additional care when specialized evaluation is appropriate

Our focus is on helping you receive the right testing at the right time, without unnecessary delays.

Laboratory Testing We Offer

Our on-site laboratory services help evaluate a wide range of common illnesses and medical concerns, allowing our providers to make informed treatment decisions during your visit.

Respiratory Testing We Offer

If you're experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, congestion, or other respiratory concerns, your provider may recommend rapid testing to help determine the cause of your illness.

Available testing may include:

Rapid COVID-19 testing

COVID-19 PCR testing

Rapid influenza (flu) testing

Rapid strep testing

RSV testing when clinically appropriate

These tests help our providers recommend the most appropriate treatment while helping you better understand your condition.

Imaging Service We Offer

Some injuries and medical conditions require more detailed imaging than a physical examination alone can provide. When advanced imaging is appropriate, our providers will help coordinate the next steps in your care.

EKG Screening

When your symptoms warrant additional cardiac evaluation, an on-site electrocardiogram (EKG) may be performed to assess your heart's electrical activity. EKG results are reviewed alongside your symptoms and medical evaluation to help determine the most appropriate next steps in your care.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Every patient's symptoms are unique, which is why imaging and laboratory testing are recommended only when they will provide meaningful information to support your diagnosis and treatment.

Step 1: Medical Evaluation

Your provider will discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, and perform a focused physical examination to determine whether imaging or laboratory testing is appropriate.

Step 2: Diagnostic Testing

If recommended, testing may be performed during your visit or coordinated through our imaging partner, depending on the type of study needed.

Step 3: Review of Results

Your provider will review your test results together with your symptoms, medical history, and examination findings to better understand your condition and explain what the results mean.

Step 4: Personalized Care

Based on your diagnosis, your provider will recommend the most appropriate next steps. Depending on your condition, your care plan may include:

Prescription medications, when appropriate

Referral to your primary care provider or a specialist when needed

Additional evaluation if your condition requires further assessment

Follow-up care instructions

Home care and symptom management recommendations

Our goal is to provide timely answers and ensure you leave your visit with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and treatment plan.

When Additional Care Is Recommended

Some conditions require ongoing care beyond the urgent care setting. If your imaging or laboratory results indicate that additional evaluation is needed, our team will explain your findings and help guide you to the appropriate next step.

Depending on your diagnosis, this may include follow-up with your primary care provider, referral to a specialist, or emergency medical care when necessary. 

Located across from two major hospitals and with a primary care provider practicing in the same building, Doctors Urgent Care is well-positioned to help coordinate your care when additional treatment or follow-up is recommended.

This was one of the best urgent care experiences I’ve ever had. The entire team was incredibly attentive and professional. I was seen quickly, and everything was handled efficiently without feeling rushed. I left feeling reassured and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend this urgent care to anyone in need of prompt, high-quality care.
