Lab tests allow us to examine, diagnose, and suggest solutions to health issues that aren’t easily seen by the naked eye. By using tests, we’re able to find the exact issue and test for other issues that may cause the patient discomfort. At times, infections or diseases pose little to no symptoms making lab tests the best solution for a diagnosis.
