TapLabs is open six days a week with flexible hours, so you can say goodbye to crowded waiting rooms and complete your appointments on your time.

Virtual Health Consult

Fast-track your lab tests by scheduling a consult with a TabLabs physician or nurse practitioner who can listen to your concerns and order the necessary bloodwork. Tests that fall outside the scope of a regular lab requisition can still be ordered privately for a fee.

Routine Bloodwork & Urinalysis

Routine bloodwork and urinalysis can determine baseline levels and a variety of deficiencies and abnormalities. Common tests ordered by doctors include a complete blood count, blood sugar and protein levels, hormone levels, liver and kidney function, and a cholesterol/lipid profile. TapLabs can also collect many additional or specialized tests listed on a lab requisition.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An ECG test can be performed quickly and safely at home thanks to a state-of-the-art handheld device that measures and records your heart rate in 10 minutes. The results will be interpreted by a cardiologist and sent directly to your ordering provider. What’s even better, you can complete your ECG test at the same time as your bloodwork if you have a requisition for both from your doctor.

Private Testing

These include female hormone and fertility, prenatal genetic screening, prostate cancer screening, heart and gut health, key vitamins and nutrients, allergy screening, and more.

Employer-sponsored Health Solutions

Cared-for employees are healthy employees, and healthy employees are happy employees! TabLaps offers on-demand lab services delivered right to the office so that your team can get the healthcare they need, faster.

Along with the services listed above, employers can also order on-site flu vaccinations and other point-of-care testing, like blood pressure and BMI readings, that can be used to elevate workplace health and wellness programs.
