Which in-house labs am I a candidate for?

To determine if you’re a candidate for one or more in-house labs, your Broadway Family Clinic specialist discusses your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, medications, and the reason for your appointment. They also complete a physical exam and review your risk factors for specific medical issues. Your provider then recommends lab work or other diagnostic tests if needed.
