Laboratory test results are usually discussed at your follow-up appointment. If you are not coming for a follow-up, the routine report usually takes three days to reach the doctor. In urgent cases, the doctor is notified as soon as possible and may therefore ask you to come before the mentioned time frame.

Certain blood tests may take up to two weeks to complete. As a hospital policy we release the laboratory results only to the patient. The reports are not faxed unless the patient submits a Request for Release of Medical Information Form. Please note that only the physician will inform the patient of the laboratory results.
