Laboratory and Pathology Services

Modern laboratory testing is the scientific foundation of today's highly effective pediatric medicine. These tests help pediatricians and specialists monitor chronic conditions like diabetes and metabolic disorders while keeping an eye out for substances and markers in the blood, saliva, sweat, stool, spinal fluid or urine that might indicate a problem on the horizon.
