Frequently Asked Questions
Does a blood draw hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during a blood draw. You may feel a brief pinch or slight pressure when the needle is inserted, but the sensation is typically minimal and short-lived. Our experienced team is skilled in making the process as smooth as possible, and we prioritize your comfort at every step.
How long does the appointment take?
A typical blood draw appointment is designed to be quick and efficient, usually taking around 10-15 minutes from start to finish. This includes the time to check in, prepare for the procedure, collect the sample, and review any aftercare instructions. The actual blood draw itself is very brief, often lasting just a few moments.
Do I need to fast before my blood draws?
Whether or not you need to fast before your blood draw depends on the specific tests your doctor has ordered. For particular lab work, such as blood glucose or cholesterol testing, fasting for 8-12 hours before the appointment may be required to ensure accurate results. During this time, you should avoid eating or drinking anything other than water.
What should I do if I feel lightheaded after the blood draw?
It’s not uncommon to feel lightheaded or dizzy after a blood draw, especially if it’s your first time or you’re sensitive to the procedure. If this happens, let us know immediately. Our team will provide a comfortable place to sit or lie down while you recover. We can also offer a small snack or drink, such as juice or crackers, to help stabilize your blood sugar and alleviate discomfort.
