Laboratory

All patients except for those with port cath scheduled for blood tests should check in at area 1D in Duke South before arriving to their clinic appointment at 2N.  For each routine visit, you can expect to have labs drawn.  Please arrive one-half hour before your appointment. Check in at Clinic 1D and when labs are completed report to Clinic 2N.

If you have an appointment for Lab and Leave, or labs only, check in at Clinic 1D.  You will not need to come to 2N unless you also have a routine or acute visit scheduled. 

If you have a port and you are scheduled for blood tests, you should check in at clinic 2N.  Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow for lab draws and proper care of your port.
