What to Expect from an in-house reference lab
Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology is a patient-centered practice that wants you to feel comfortable about all procedures related to your health. Our highly trained lab professionals will tend to your test as quickly as possible. The majority of our lab services are minimally invasive and will require a blood or urine sample. All of our lab services are performed on-site efficiently and quickly as possible. Once we have your results, Dr. Terzian or a member of our team will call you to review our findings and discuss if any follow-up tests are necessary. From there, Dr. Terzian will go over the best treatment options.
There are multiple types of lab tests, but the most common assessments include:
Complete blood count (CBC): This analysis measures the red and white blood cells and platelets of the blood. It is often used to evaluate a patient's overall health and nutritional status and screen for medical disorders.
Urinalysis: This is a very simple and most frequently performed diagnostic test. A small sample of urine is collected from the patient to complete a general health screening.
Basic metabolic panel: This is a blood test that measures blood sugar levels, electrolyte and fluid volume, and kidney function. It can also assess how certain medications are affecting the kidneys and electrolytes.
Cholesterol screening or lipid panel: This lab measures the amount of cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It can evaluate a patient's risk of heart disease and stroke.
Rapid strep: These quick turnaround tests show an active strep throat infection.
Rapid influenza: We can provide an almost instant test for influenza.
Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology Reviews
Dr. John is one of kind! He is truly talented at what he does. Great listener and very kind hearted. He is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining everything to me. Five years of an amazing patient and doctor relationship, highly recommend.
Dr John is very personable and cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen to any concerns and always takes time for questions.
Dr. Terzian is extremely professional and understanding. He explains procedures very clearly. I trust my care in his hands.
I think Dr. Terzian is one of the best doctors I’ve ever been to. He listens and really knows how to communicate with people, not to mention how much knowledge he apparently has. I have been to other cardiologist who could not find my problem, but Dr. Terzian really studied through my records to find some answers.
This is actually my new primary care physician. Nice waiting area and do alot of services here. I have had several appointments and as a regular pcp patient dr tarzin has physician aides that assist you. They are also a heart concerned for you so may have you take several exams and tests. Usually they are quick and painless ultrasounds and mointers to check on vein blood flow and any issues. They check several parts of your body and take blood to ensure your healthy. It's worth it even though sometimes I wonder why I am taking the test I figured out that it is worth it to ensure that I don't have any issues or serious issues that could arise. Better to catch things early rather than later. Staff seems very nice. No issues that have happened more tests coming but I go in to see my dr Jill who is very nice to talk with and understands alot if my issues and takes care of things. Make sure I have referrals to get correct care and listens to what i say and recommends best answers. Sometimes I email her as she will email me. It is a great way to communicate in between appointments. Very pleased so far
