On-Site Laboratory

At Medco ER, in Plano and Carrollton, we work diligently to provide your family with high-quality care. Part of delivering high-quality care is maximizing comfort and convenience. That is why we offer an on-site laboratory. Your emergency medical concerns are our top priority, which is why we want to make sure that your visit is as convenient and comfortable as possible. On-site laboratories help to produce a streamlined visit to the emergency room that lives up to the high standards that you have for yourself and your family.

Having an on-site laboratory means that we have access to the tests that may be necessary for diagnosing an illness. Throat cultures can be used to diagnose strep throat. Urinalysis can be used to diagnose a wide variety of infections and can be used to confirm pregnancy. We also offer blood tests, which can tell us a lot about what is going on inside of your body.

We chose to have our laboratory integrated into the rest of our emergency facilities because we believe that our certified staff are integral members of our highly trained medical team. Integrated health is important to us because we want to ensure that every member of our medical team is on the same page. This helps eliminate errors and mistakes that can be made on account of poor communication. Our certified staff have easy access to speak with the doctor who ordered the tests if they have any questions or concerns. This cuts down on reassessment rates, which is something that we pride ourselves on.

At Medco ER, we want our facilities to be accessible to all members of the community, which is another reason we have chosen to offer an on-site laboratory. This does not require our patients to travel to another facility to have their laboratory work done. This is something that is important to our patients with limited transportation, and it is also easy and convenient for our other patients.

We are prepared to provide you and your family with quality emergency care at Medco ER in Plano and Carrollton.
