You shouldn't have to wait days for test results. With our fast, accurate diagnostic tests and imaging technology, AdventHealth aims to get you same-day test results as often as possible. We know your child would rather be outside playing than in and out of labs and hospitals for testing. To lift their spirits and yours, our pediatric nephrologists approach every visit with patience and gentle techniques, taking extra care to infuse moments of joy in between, whether it’s introducing a new toy or doing what we can to coax a smile.
Across our full-service labs and pediatric kidney-care programs, we’re equipped with the latest in testing, imaging, and minimally invasive diagnostic technology, including:
