Often, patients sent by their doctors for testing often must go from place to place for various tests, ride up and down in elevators, or even go to another building. And waiting for test results can be an anxiety-filled process. Lakeside Hospital’s Diagnostic Center offers the following features to make the process quicker, easier, more accurate and less stressful:

• A convenient location on the first level to make the diagnostic process more convenient and easy to find for patients.
  
  
• An expert staff composed of highly skilled physicians, nurses, and technologists.
  
  
• Revolutionary technology that changes the way physicians gain access to their patient’s test results, providing them with quicker, more accurate interpretations of the tests.
  
  
• The ability for physicians to access the results on Alegent Health’s secure Internet site in real time, with the ability to show the image to the patient on the computer screen.
  
  
• Tests that are coordinated so patients may schedule them sequentially, with results that are returned quickly, often the same day.
