We work closely together with the laboratory of Teulada/Jávea. Almost all tests are realized on the same day and you will have your results the day after. The urgent tests are being dealt with the same morning. Only special tests that need to be sent to Barcelona, take a little longer. We also realise INR Tests (which controls patients who receive an anticoagulation therapy with for example Sintrom) and give the results and new medication qualification instantly. Blood samples and urine/faeces analysis are realised before 10.30 am; please do not eat breakfast before the tests. To convey the results we prefer to see you in person, as we have noticed that there are always doubts when results are communicated by telephone, this is only in the case of more complicated matters. www.laboratoriocholbimulet.com
