A quick view of both equally equipped sites includes twenty private examination rooms, state-of-the-art equipment available to perform EKGs, pulmonary function, skin testing and adult/pediatric phlebotomy. Our CLIA-certified laboratories are equipped with a -20 degree and -70 degree freezer and a defibrillator. Calibration records are available for all equipment. We have IATA Hazmat certified staff.
We also house an impressive patient lounge which is particularly convenient for long visits with "at-home amenities" such as cable television, VCR, DVD, desktop workspace, reclining chairs, and a patient refrigerator.
