Phlebotomy Services Q & A

What is Phlebotomy?

Phlebotomy is the service of drawing blood. This is generally done using a vein in your arm or hand. At Southwest Family Physicians, our team of skilled and compassionate phlebotomists are diligent in caring for all patients and focused on safe, efficient and comfortable blood draws.

What are the benefits of an on site Phlebotomist?

With an on site Phlebotomy team, we are able to provide same day blood draws as often as possible. This allows your provider to order tests, and you can have them drawn right away for testing. We are proud to offer this service as a way to improve your healthcare experience and avoid making additional appointments that disrupt your day!

Where do we send your specimines?

Southwest Family Physicians is partnered with Quest as our reference lab. This is the lab we generally send your specimines to. However, we do our best to check if there is a better option with regard to your insurance coverage. We can also send labs to Labcorp!

What affects lab results?

Many factors can affect your blood draw experience. These include:

  • Your sex, age, and race
  • Medications you take
  • Pre-test instructions, such as fasting
  • Hydration level

For quality, efficient blood draws, call Southwest Family Physicians to book an appointment.
