What Is Lab Testing?
Palm Urgent Care offers comprehensive on-site laboratory testing at our El Cajon clinic with rapid turnaround on results. From routine blood work and urinalysis to confidential STD testing and employer-required drug screening, our lab services eliminate the need for a separate lab visit. Many test results are available the same day or within 24-48 hours.
