LIVING IN OVERREGULATED UPSTATE NY-HOW DO I GET LABWORK?

Scottsyracuse · Oct 7, 2018

Hello, Im new to TRT. Trying to find out how this Labwork gets done. I live in upstate NY, and it sounds like there are problems with prohibitive regulation. Driving down to Scranton PA would not be a big problem.
Will a lab in PA honor a script from say Defy in Tampa?
"Dont tread on me"... now I know what theyre talking about!

I live in upstate ny as well. I am actually north of Syracuse. The Labcorp in Watertown completed the labs without issue from a draw request from Defy. I was very hesitant so I ordered 1 lab for starters and it worked fine. I then ordered a full panel. I have recently traveled to nyc to see Dr Rotman as I prefer a face the face visit with my doctor.

I've had many patients from New York travel to PA for labs, there's no issue with doing so.

If you're not a current patient, email me at Jesse@defymedical.com and I can assist you with ordering labs. You do not have to become a patient to order labs through us, we also offer discounted lab testing as a service, you'd just have to sign some paperwork allowing us to release the results to you.

I'm in Rochester NY and fortunately I travel to PA on business often, so I've used Labcorp in PA with no issues. After being in the Labcorp system as a regular patient (about 4 visits), i took a shot at using Labcorp in Auburn NY. I walked in, they see I'm in the system, no problem. Although, i just had labs done a week ago and they lost my results...
