Lab Testing & X-Ray Services

Our in-house low-radiation X-Ray and Lab Testing are two of the many conveniences at Twin Oaks Urgent Care in Friendswood, TX. Our extended office hours allows for testing to be completed at more convenient times to better suit patients’ work and school schedules. There are many benefits to completing lab tests and x-rays during your urgent care visit rather than going to an outside lab. For instance, this method is typically more affordable. Additionally, lab test results are often available more quickly and serve as an added advantage for the urgent care physician when prescribing the appropriate medications and method of treatment. Our digital imaging abilities help technicians zoom in on hard to see areas where smaller orthopedic problems occur. When our expert technicians take digital x-rays on site, the provider sends confidential confirmation of the results.

The State-of-the-Art X-Ray equipment on-site at Twin Oaks Urgent Care also provides our professional medical staff with great. Combining the patient's report of symptoms with a set of X-rays helps physicians to identify potential injuries in the skull and face region, shoulders, elbows, wrists, arms or hands. In the event of chest pains or a cough, a chest and lung x-ray can show areas of abnormality in areas of the heart, lungs, surrounding tissues and ribcage.  

In some cases, both lab testing and x-rays are necessary. For instance, severe abdominal pain may indicate many things. A lab analysis can help identify problems with organ function while an X-ray of the abdominal cavity can show abnormalities like tumors, swelling, or ulcerations.  Certain symptoms may be the result of a variety of conditions. Back pain can be the result of kidney or bladder infections, spinal injuries, or a pulled muscle. Depending on the circumstances, a lab analysis or x-ray, or even both can confirm the diagnosticians' suspicions.

Testimonials

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "Absolutely no wait. I loved the doctor. She was very professional and also called in my prescriptions so they would be ready for me quickly. The staff is very nice and efficient. They even stayed a little late to fit me in because the RediClinic at HEB wouldn't fit me in. I sat at the RediClinic for 20 minutes trying to find somewhere else to go while the nurse practitioner there sat on the computer alone, not seeing a patient. That was actually a huge blessing. My copay is more to go here, but it was worth EVERY penny!"
