How Do I Get My Test Results?

After you have scheduled your diagnostic test, you need to:

  • Schedule an office visit with your doctor to review your test results.*Please mention the reason for the visit to the Appointment Scheduler.
  • Obtain a copy of the test results and the radiological films from the facility that performed your radiological tests such as MRI, CT & Bone Scans (most facilities can provide you with the films on the same day as your test) & bring the results and films with you to your visit with the doctor.
  • If your doctor specifically told you he/she would call you when they receive the results, please contact their office directly after you have taken the test to alert our staff and provide the doctor with the contact information you wish to be reached at.
