How should I prepare for therapeutic phlebotomy?

To make your therapeutic phlebotomy as safe and comfortable as possible:

• Eat a light meal before your appointment.

• Drink plenty of water the day of your procedure.

• Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be rolled up easily.

• Expect a quick finger-stick test before the draw begins.

After your procedure, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for the rest of the day. It is normal to feel more fatigued on the day of your phlebotomy, so please plan accordingly.

Please let your phlebotomist know if you need any special accommodations during your phlebotomy. We always try to accommodate our clients so that we can provide a seamless and stress-free experience.
