Our practice operates an in-house lab that is open from 7:40 A.M - 3:40 P.M. to provide convenient and efficient laboratory services for our patients. (The laboratory times are subject to change due to staffing) The in-house lab is only for our Nephrology patients. We cannot draw any outside lab orders from other Providers per our New York State License.


Please note this important change:
Due to changes in NYS law we will no longer be able to refill or prescribe any controlled substance without an appointment.  Effective August 27, 2013 patients requiring a controlled medication MUST have an appointment before a prescription can be written.  Please plan ahead and make your appointment. Examples of these medications include narcotic pain medication and prescription sleep aides.
