Blood Tests & Lab Services We Offer in Plainview, NY

Our on-site lab in Plainview NY handles a comprehensive range of routine and specialty blood panels. Every test is ordered by Dr. Iquinder Singh, MD based on your individual health history, symptoms, and risk factors — never a one-size-fits-all menu. Here is a look at the most common blood work we provide.

🩸

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

One of the most common and informative blood tests ordered. A CBC evaluates your red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets to detect a wide range of conditions.

  • Anemia detection and monitoring
  • Infection and immune response screening
  • Bleeding and clotting disorder evaluation
  • Inflammatory condition monitoring
  • Leukemia and blood cancer screening
  • Medication effect monitoring
⚗️

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

A broad chemistry panel that gives Dr. Singh a clear picture of your organ function, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar — all from a single blood draw.

  • Kidney function — creatinine, BUN
  • Liver function — ALT, AST, bilirubin
  • Blood glucose — fasting and non-fasting
  • Electrolytes — sodium, potassium, chloride
  • Calcium and total protein levels
  • Albumin and CO2 (bicarbonate)
❤️

Lipid Panel (Cholesterol & Triglycerides)

Essential for assessing cardiovascular risk. Our lipid panel in Plainview NY measures all key cholesterol values to help Dr. Singh guide your heart health strategy.

  • Total cholesterol
  • LDL ("bad") cholesterol
  • HDL ("good") cholesterol
  • Triglycerides
  • Non-HDL cholesterol calculation
  • 10-year cardiovascular risk assessment
🩺

HbA1c & Diabetes Blood Tests

Diabetes and prediabetes are often silent until serious damage is done. Our diabetes blood testing in Plainview NY catches elevated blood sugar early so you can take action before complications arise.

  • Hemoglobin A1c (3-month average glucose)
  • Fasting blood glucose
  • Insulin resistance screening
  • Glucose tolerance (when indicated)
  • Diabetes monitoring for existing patients
  • Pre-diabetes evaluation and counseling
🦋

Thyroid Panel (TSH, T3, T4)

Thyroid disorders are among the most commonly missed conditions — especially in women. Fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and hair loss can all trace back to thyroid imbalance, making this panel an important part of a thorough workup.

  • TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
  • Free T3 and Free T4
  • Thyroid antibodies (TPO, anti-TG)
  • Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism screening
  • Thyroid medication monitoring
  • Hashimoto's and Graves' disease evaluation
☀️

Vitamin & Nutrient Panel

Deficiencies in vitamin D, B12, iron, and other key nutrients are surprisingly common — and surprisingly impactful on how you feel every day. We test for and address nutritional gaps as part of comprehensive care.

  • Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D)
  • Vitamin B12 and folate
  • Iron and ferritin (iron stores)
  • Magnesium levels
  • Zinc and copper (when indicated)
  • Supplementation guidance based on results
⚖️

Hormone Panel

Hormonal imbalances affect energy, mood, fertility, weight, and overall quality of life. Dr. Singh orders targeted hormone panels for both men and women based on symptoms and health goals.

  • Testosterone (total and free)
  • Estrogen and progesterone
  • FSH and LH (reproductive hormones)
  • DHEA-S and cortisol
  • Prolactin levels
  • Menopause and andropause evaluation
🔒

STD & STI Testing

Confidential, non-judgmental STD and STI screening is part of complete primary care. Testing is available for patients of all ages and lifestyles in a private, respectful clinical environment.

  • HIV testing (4th generation)
  • Syphilis (RPR)
  • Hepatitis B and C
  • Gonorrhea and chlamydia
  • Herpes simplex (HSV) IgG
  • Results handled with full confidentiality
💧

Urinalysis & Kidney Function

A simple urine test combined with kidney blood markers provides invaluable information about your renal health, hydration, and risk for UTIs, kidney stones, and protein leakage.

  • Urinalysis — color, clarity, pH, glucose, protein
  • Microscopic urine examination
  • Urine culture (if infection suspected)
  • Creatinine and eGFR (kidney filtration rate)
  • BUN (blood urea nitrogen)
  • Microalbuminuria for diabetic kidney screening

Conditions We Screen & Monitor with Blood Work

As your primary care doctor in Plainview NY, Dr. Singh uses blood work as an essential tool for early detection and ongoing management of many health conditions. Routine lab testing is one of the most cost-effective ways to catch problems before they become serious — and to track progress for conditions you are already managing. Below are some of the most common conditions we screen for and monitor using targeted blood panels.

🩺 Diabetes & Prediabetes ❤️ High Cholesterol 💊 Hypertension 🦋 Thyroid Disorders 🩸 Anemia 🫀 Cardiovascular Disease Risk ⚖️ Obesity & Metabolic Syndrome 🦴 Vitamin D Deficiency 🧠 Fatigue & Low Energy 👩 Hormonal Imbalance 🔬 Kidney Disease (CKD) 🍺 Liver Disease 🌿 Autoimmune Conditions 💉 Infection & Inflammation

🩺

Integrated Chronic Disease Management

For patients managing diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, or thyroid conditions, blood work is the backbone of good chronic disease management in Plainview NY. We track your numbers over time and adjust your care plan accordingly.

Who Should Get Blood Work Done?

The honest answer is — almost everyone benefits from regular lab testing. But these are the groups for whom Dr. Singh most commonly recommends blood work as an urgent or routine priority:

📅
Annual Wellness Patients

Anyone getting their yearly physical should have a standard blood panel to establish or update their health baseline.

💊
Chronic Disease Patients

Patients with diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol need regular labs to monitor disease progression and medication effectiveness.

😴
Fatigue, Weight & Mood Issues

Persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood swings, or hair loss often have detectable lab causes — thyroid, iron, hormones, or vitamin levels.

👨‍👩‍👧
Family History of Disease

If diabetes, heart disease, or cancer runs in your family, proactive blood work helps catch early warning signs and gives you a significant head start.

🍽️ Do I Need to Fast Before My Blood Work?

Fasting requirements depend on which tests have been ordered. Here is a simple guide — but always follow the specific instructions given by Dr. Singh or our clinical team when your labs are scheduled.

  • Fasting required (8–12 hrs): Lipid panel, fasting glucose, comprehensive metabolic panel, fasting insulin
  • No fasting required: CBC, thyroid panel, vitamin D, B12, A1C, kidney function, most hormone panels
  • Always fine before any test: Plain water — stay hydrated, it makes your draw easier
  • Morning appointments: Ideal for fasting tests — fast overnight, come in first thing, eat right after

📋 What to Bring to Your Lab Appointment

Coming prepared makes your visit faster and more productive. Here is what we ask you to bring when you come in for blood work at our primary care clinic in Plainview NY:
