What are lab and diagnostics?

From blood testing to urinalysis, diagnostic tests give your doctor vital insights about your health. These tests are crucial when evaluating your overall health and wellness. One of the most stressful aspects of lab testing and diagnostics is traveling to an offsite facility and waiting for your results.

What are the benefits of onsite lab and diagnostics?

After a doctor’s appointment, the last stop you want to make is to a lab. Whether you have to drive down the street or across town, offsite labs require travel, parking, and lengthy wait times. With an onsite lab, Women’s Healthcare of Norman removes the middleman and provides all the care you need under one roof.

What types of tests do lab and diagnostics include?

Gynecologic ultrasound

If you experience symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy periods, or irregular menstruation, the team may investigate by performing a gynecologic ultrasound.

Bone density scan

Regular bone density scans are crucial for women at risk of osteoporosis, a progressive bone disease that disproportionately affects women.
