Laboratory Services

Oklahoma Arthritis Center is committed to providing an exceptional patient-care experience through each step of the treatment process. Our laboratories are equipped to perform the diagnostics our patients need, while meeting the industry’s highest standards.

​

We perform specialized lab testing to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune disorders. Pairing our lab and clinic locations together allows us to perform diagnostics quickly, with most patients receiving their lab results within 48 hours.

​

Lab results are also made available on our online “Follow My Health” portal once they have been reviewed by the patient’s provider. While most services are performed in-house, occasionally samples are drawn on-site and sent externally for clinical reasons or to accommodate insurance requirements.

​

Each of our lab locations is Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified. To meet these quality standards, our labs must complete recurring proficiency testing and follow stringent rules and regulations. In addition to being CLIA certified, our labs are accredited by COLA. This accreditation provides ongoing support and education to our lab technologists. By maintaining these standards, our patients can be confident that they will receive the highest level of care in the industry.

​

Our certified labs are equipped to offer testing for most routine conditions including:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)

• Metabolic Panels

• Lipid Panels

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

• Hemoglobin A1C

• Urinalysis

• Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA)

• And many other tests …

​

Our services are performed by certified lab technologists who are dedicated to the safety and reliability of lab testing. These professionals work in conjunction with our providers to deliver individualized care for each patient’s health and well-being.
