STAT & ROUTINE TESTING
At DLO, we are committed to providing the highest possible quality of services in every aspect of our operations. That’s why 95% of all testing submitted is performed in Oklahoma, providing faster turnaround time and reporting times. And with the help of our Quality Assurance and Six Sigma departments, we make sure all testing procedures are performed at the highest standards set by our governing organizations – the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CLIA) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
MICROBIOLOGY/VIROLOGY
Both Microbiology and Virology testing is performed in-house at our Oklahoma City core laboratory facility. The Microbiology department is open 24/7, ensuring lab results will be delivered as soon as possible.
PATHOLOGY/CYTOLOGY SERVICES
DLO offers a complete menu of cervical cancer screening options. We provide everything from routine Pap tests to HPV testing to liquid- and computer-assisted cytology. Our in-state testing allows for excellent turnaround times, which leads to a sound diagnosis. In addition, through our partnership with AmeriPath, physicians are able to easily and effectively correlate cytology results with biopsies.
