Who do I call if I have questions about my results?
If your results have only recently been posted, please wait for your referring physician to call you to discuss them.
If you still have a question regarding a report or results in the Patient Portal, please call your referring physician only. Do not call the lab or diagnostic technician listed on the report – they will not be able to answer your medical questions.
