Lab testing and blood work for Bolingbrook, IL residents
Bolingbrook, IL residents can get blood work, A1C, thyroid, CBC and urine tests at Urgent Care Center of Westmont, about 8.2 miles northeast in Westmont, IL. Both of our clinics collect samples on site seven days a week, and a clinician explains your results with you.
Why Bolingbrook, IL patients make the drive for lab work
Bolingbrook, IL is a big village. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 73,922 residents in 2020, most of them in Will County and some in DuPage County. Our clinics are not in Bolingbrook, and there may be closer options. People choose Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, because both of our sites keep weekend hours, both collect lab samples on site, and our team is led by board-certified physicians.
Lab work here usually starts with a reason: a symptom that will not go away, a number your doctor wants rechecked, or a form for work or school. A clinician talks with you first, then orders only the tests that fit. Common starting points:
Tired all the time or winded on the stairs: a complete blood count checks red cells and hemoglobin
Extra thirst and trips to the bathroom: an A1C or glucose test through diabetes testing
Weight change, feeling cold or shaky hands: a TSH test as part of thyroid panel testing
Burning or urgency when you urinate: a urine test, collected at the clinic

Reading your numbers after the visit

A clinician reviews your results with you and explains what they mean. MedlinePlus notes that each lab sets its own reference range, so compare a result only with the range printed on that report. A number slightly outside the range does not always mean a problem, and a normal number does not always rule one out.
For A1C, the CDC uses these cutoffs: below 5.7% is normal, 5.7% to 6.4% is prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher is diabetes. Providers often confirm with a second test. Curious what a bigger panel covers? Read what a full panel blood test shows, and see our main lab testing service page for every test we offer.
