Our internal medicine doctors are proud to offer a wide range of on-site services for our patients, including the following:
Electrocardiogram (EKG)
An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is an essential tool for diagnosing various heart conditions, including arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, and heart attacks. By interpreting the patterns and rhythms of the electrical signals, healthcare professionals can assess how well the heart is functioning and identify any abnormalities. This test is vital for those who may be suffering from chest pain, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness.
Lab Work
At Prime Internal Medicine Associates, our primary care doctors are proud to offer lab work to patients in the comfort and convenience of their Dallas doctor's office. This lab work may include anything from blood tests to urine analyses and swab tests, all designed to ensure patients are in good health and do not have any potential health concerns. Providing this lab work on-site helps ensure our patients get the comprehensive care they want and deserve, all within the confines of our comfortable office.
Pap Smear
A Pap smear, also known as a Pap test, is a preventive screening procedure performed to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous cells in the cervix. The test involves collecting cells from the cervix, which are then examined under a microscope. It's crucial in detecting cervical cancer early, allowing for more effective treatment and improved prognosis. Regular Pap smears can even help prevent most cervical cancers by identifying changes in the cervix before cancer develops.
Spirometry
Spirometry is a common and effective diagnostic test used to measure the volume and flow of air that a person can inhale and exhale. This test is crucial as it helps in detecting a wide range of lung conditions such as asthma and asthma symptoms, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis. By measuring how much and how quickly one can move air out of the lungs, doctors can evaluate lung function, assess the severity of respiratory conditions, and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
STI Testing and Treatment
If you are already here for preventive screening and have more than one sexual partner, it is encouraged you also receive an in-house STI test. In the event there is a concern with your results, our primary care doctors are happy to offer comprehensive treatment plans for your condition, returning you to good health and ensuring you stay that way for the long run.
Strep Throat Testing
Strep throat testing typically involves a rapid antigen test or a throat culture. The rapid antigen test provides results within a few minutes, whereas the throat culture, which is more accurate, may take a couple of days for results. These tests involve swabbing the back of the throat and tonsils to collect a sample for analysis, helping to determine if harmful bacteria are present.
Urine Drug Testing
Urine drug testing is a key component in preventive healthcare, serving as a vital tool for detecting the presence of illicit substances in a person's system. This form of testing is crucial in areas such as workplace safety, monitoring medication management, and addressing substance misuse early in its progression. It enables our internal medicine doctors to intervene promptly and provide the necessary support to help patients stay in their healthiest state.
The list above is by no means comprehensive, meaning there is a wide range of additional diagnostic testing we can perform at our Dallas office. To learn more about how you can benefit from our on-site services, we encourage you to contact us at your earliest convenience.
