Services
Chemistry Panels
Our comprehensive chemistry panels analyze critical biomarkers for metabolic function, organ health, and disease indicators. These tests provide essential data for diagnosing and monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes, liver disease, and cardiovascular disorders. With rapid 48-hour turnaround times, we support timely clinical decision-making for healthcare providers.
Hematology Tests
We perform complete blood counts (CBC) and specialized hematological analyses to assess blood cell composition and identify abnormalities. Our testing detects anemia, infections, coagulation disorders, and blood cancers through precise cell morphology examination. Results inform treatment plans for both acute and chronic hematological conditions.
Metabolic Panels
Our basic and comprehensive metabolic panels measure electrolytes, glucose, kidney function, and acid-base balance. These integrated tests aid in diagnosing metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and renal disorders while monitoring patient hydration status. We ensure accurate electrolyte and glucose level quantification for effective treatment adjustments.
Thyroid Testing
We offer complete thyroid panels including TSH, free T4, and antibody tests for diagnosing hypo/hyperthyroidism and autoimmune thyroid disorders. Our precise hormone measurements support dosage optimization for thyroid replacement therapy and monitor treatment efficacy over time.
Infectious Disease Screening
Our infectious disease panels identify bacterial, viral, and autoimmune responses through serological testing. We detect conditions like Lyme disease, mononucleosis, and autoimmune disorders using CDC-recommended methodologies. These tests enable prompt diagnosis and targeted treatment for improved patient outcomes.

My husband and I have had our blood drawn here many times. I cant say enough good about this place or the service! We even drive an hour just to go here. Its quiet. Its clean. Never crowded or busy. Jennifer makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. She does a quick job and its practically painless. She is very kind. Unfortunately, our insurance no longer covers services at Lister and we have to start going to Quest (which has terrible reviews) but who knows maybe well come back to Lister anyway you cant beat exceptional service!

Coming from someone who has a *major* fear of getting blood drawn, it was a great experience! Jennifer was excellent- took under a minute for 4 vials drawn. She is very friendly and the building/lab area is very clean and relaxing. Even got some free vitamins for my children from Pure Life Pharmacy while I was there! This will definitely be my go-to for any labs that need done.
