Lab Results:
Test results will not be released to any patient by lab personnel. Within
two days of your lab test(s), the results will be made available to the
ordering physician. Your doctor will review the results and notify
you (unless other arrangements have been agreed upon). The results of studies
sent outside Cooper Clinic to reference labs (Quest Laboratories, Mayo
Medical Laboratories, Athena Laboratories, St. Edward Mercy Medical Center
Lab, and Sparks Regional Medical Center Lab) may take longer to receive.
