Lab Related Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you do blood work in the office?
We do not draw blood in the office, but use various test kits (stool, saliva, blood) that can be done in the convenience of your home or taken to an Associated Clinical Laboratories (ACL) for a blood draw. If we need to order blood tests (that do not require a test kit), these will be paid for out of pocket and the blood will need to be drawn at any ACL location.
How long do lab results take to come in?
All test kits generally take 2-3 weeks for the results to come in. Blood tests results are generally available in 24-48 hours.
How will I know when the results are in?
Because the length of time for results to come in vary from lab to lab, we will call or email you once the results are in to schedule a follow-up appointment.
Can I pick up my lab results?
You are welcome to pick up your results if you wish, but you are encouraged to schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Dengler to discuss the results and how they pertain to your healing plan.
Can you send my results to my primary care doctor?
We would be happy to send any lab results to your other health care providers. You will just need to sign a medical release form giving us permission to share your results.
Massage Therapy FAQ’s
Do you offer evening/ weekend appointments?
Yes, we offer early evening appointments and also have appointments available on Saturdays.
Do you offer a cancer massage?
Yes. We can customize a massage to meet your needs with permission from your oncologist.
What do I wear for a massage?
Patients may undress to their comfort level during the massage. The practitioner will leave the room while you undress and prepare for your massage. A sheet is used as a drape during the session and is moved only to expose the part of the body being worked on at any given time. The massage session will include a full body massage with the use of massage creams, lotions or oils to reduce friction between the practitioner’s hands and your skin.
