Laboratory
The laboratory hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Most lab tests are drawn as part of an office visit. However, lipid panel and glucose (sugar) tests require a 12-hour fast. This means that if you come for a lab-only visit at 8 a.m., you should have nothing by mouth from 8 p.m. the night before. You may have water and black coffee.
Radiology
The Radiology Department at Duke Family Medicine is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is able to provide a variety of exams, including the following:
- Abdomen
- Ankle
- Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine
- Chest
- Clavicle
- Elbow
- Femur
- Foot
- Head work such as sinus exams, nasal bones, and skulls.
- Humerus
- Knee
- Pelvis
- Radius/Ulna
- Shoulder
- Tibula/Fibula
- Wrist and Hand
A scoliosis series must be done at Duke Clinic. This requires a special film and cassette that is not available in our office.
