Preparing for Your Phlebotomy Appointment

Thank you for choosing Special LabWorks for your phlebotomy needs. To ensure a smooth and successful blood draw experience, please follow these simple instructions:

1. Hydration: Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your appointment. Staying hydrated can make it easier to find a vein for blood collection.
2. Fasting (if required): Some tests require fasting beforehand. If your healthcare provider has instructed you to fast, please refrain from eating or drinking anything except water for the specified amount of time before your appointment.
3. Medications: Unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider, continue taking your medications as prescribed.
4. Clothing: Wear clothing with loose sleeves that can be easily rolled up to expose your arm for blood collection.
5. Relaxation: Try to relax and stay calm during your appointment. Deep breathing exercises or listening to calming music can help ease any anxiety.
6. Communication: If you have any questions or concerns about the blood draw process, don't hesitate to communicate with our phlebotomist. We are here to ensure your comfort and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to providing you with exceptional care during your phlebotomy appointment. If you have any further questions or need to reschedule, please don't hesitate to contact us!
