Can my regular doctor do the thyroid blood tests in his clinic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Thyroid tests are blood draw. It takes time to come back. Your primary care doc might have a person drawing blood in the office but the blood have to be sent to a lab to get the result. There are some docs with their own labs but that's not the norm.
