Laboratory Testing
Getting answers quickly makes all the difference when your child isn’t feeling well. That’s why Great Destinations Pediatrics offers convenient in-office laboratory testing at our Peoria clinic. Instead of sending you to an outside facility, our board-certified pediatricians and team provide many common tests on site—delivering faster results, quicker diagnoses, and peace of mind.
What is Pediatric Laboratory Testing?
Laboratory testing helps evaluate your child’s health by analyzing samples such as blood, urine, or saliva. These tests identify infections, monitor chronic conditions, and guide treatment decisions. By offering in-office testing, we eliminate extra appointments, travel, and delays, so your child can get the care they need without unnecessary wait time.
Why Choose In-Office Testing?
- Fast results: No delays from outside labs
- Convenient: Fewer trips, less paperwork, one familiar location
- Comforting environment: Testing done by staff your child already knows and trusts
- Better continuity of care: Results go directly to your pediatrician for immediate follow-up
Common Tests We Perform In-Office:
- COVID-19
- Flu (influenza)
- Strep throat
- Urinalysis (UTI detection)
- Hemoccult test (blood in stool)
- Hemoglobin (anemia screening)
- Blood glucose (diabetes check)
- Pulse oximetry (oxygen levels)
When Might My Child Need Lab Testing?
- Sudden or severe sore throat (possible strep)
- Fever with other symptoms lasting more than 3 days
- Urinary symptoms suggesting infection
- Monitoring for anemia, diabetes, or asthma
- During well-child visits if screening is recommended
At Great Destinations Pediatrics, we believe healthcare should be efficient, accurate, and compassionate. Our in-office lab testing helps us deliver all three.
