Lab result review guide

Physician lab result review online in Virginia and West Virginia

Upload a photo of your own outside lab results — from any lab — and a physician explains what each flagged value means, what's urgent versus routine, and what to do next. This is explicitly NOT a prescribing visit, and it does not replace the follow-up your ordering clinician is responsible for. A critical or dangerous value always means going to the emergency room now.

Got a lab result with a flagged value and don't know what it means? Upload a clear photo of your own outside lab report — from any lab — and a physician will explain, value by value, what's flagged, whether it's urgent or can wait, and exactly what to do next. This is an interpretation service, not a prescribing visit: no medication is issued through this pathway. If your results point toward a specific, treatable condition, the review may recommend booking that condition-specific QuickVisitMD visit as a next step. And if any value is critical or dangerous — for example, a potassium of 6.0 or higher, a hemoglobin under 7, a glucose over 400, or a positive troponin — the review instructs you to go to the emergency room now, without waiting.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Look for another care setting

  • You are looking for a prescription through this specific visit (this pathway is interpretation only; a condition-specific visit may be recommended instead)

What to have ready

  • A clear photo of your lab report showing your name, the test date, and the value(s)
  • Which test(s) were done and when they were drawn
  • Who ordered the test (your own clinician, urgent care/ER, or a direct-to-consumer lab)
  • What concerns you about the result, and whether you have any symptoms right now

What happens next

Start the request on the website, answer the fit questions, and choose the response window you want. If the concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends a secure update after sign-in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

Your physician

Every visit is personally reviewed by Ankur Fadia, MD — board-certified, cardiology-fellowship-trained, and Alpha Omega Alpha. Recognized with the Act Fast Award for the fastest physician stroke-treatment times (2019–2022) and as the most efficient, highest-rated physician in the HCA LewisGale Alleghany emergency department (2018). Licensed in Virginia and West Virginia — your care is never handed off.

Will this visit result in a prescription?

No. This is explicitly not a prescribing visit — no medication is prescribed or implied through this pathway. If your results point toward a specific, treatable condition we offer, the review may recommend booking that condition-specific visit (for example thyroid medication refill, cholesterol/statin treatment, gout prevention, HIV PrEP, iron/vitamin D/B12 deficiency treatment, or the high blood pressure program) as a separate next step.

Does this replace the follow-up my doctor already scheduled?

No. This review explains what your results mean and what to do next, but it does not replace the follow-up your ordering clinician is responsible for. Please keep any appointment or repeat-testing plan they've already set.

What if one of my values is dangerous?

Any critical or dangerous value — for example, a potassium of 6.0 or higher, a hemoglobin under 7, a glucose over 400, or a positive troponin — means going to the emergency room now. The review instructs this immediately and documents that instruction; it is never treated as a routine finding to be addressed later.

Can I use a lab result from any lab, or does it have to be from QuickVisitMD?

Any lab. Upload a clear photo of your own outside lab result from any lab, urgent care, hospital, or direct-to-consumer testing service, and a physician will review it.
