Investigations
Get the gold standard in testing and investigations. At The Coker Chest Clinic we have state-of-the-art screening technology and equipment at our fingertips.
From initial consultation through to treatment and aftercare, our approach is incredibly thorough. Our doctor will listen to your symptoms and carry out an examination. They will then explain which tests would be most appropriate for you, and will outline these during your consultation.
Why do we offer such meticulous, comprehensive investigations? Although we consider all your symptoms, we work with the facts.
We provide safe, in-depth testing which really helps to give us a full picture of your health. This enables us to treat the underlying disease rather than just tackling the symptoms. We understand the busy nature of our patients’ lifestyles and so do all we can to make any investigations as quick and easy as possible.
This includes our mobile phlebotomy and pathology service, which can come to your work or home for maximum convenience.
We investigate all medical conditions but specialise in:
-
- Allergy testing: We provide the full spectrum of allergy and intolerance testing, from grass and hayfever to food.
- COVID-19 testing: We provide private same-day coronavirus tests including: COVID-19 RT-PCR test, COVID-19 fit to fly test and certificate, and COVID-19 test to release.
- Sleep testing: We use gold standard testing equipment for 2-night polysomnography sleep tests. Our equipment is licensed for use at our patients’ homes for maximum comfort.
- Respiratory tests: We provide lung function testing in the clinic, at our patients’ workplace or home.
We also have access to a full radiological investigation portfolio and endoscopies, including bronchoscopy and Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS).
No final diagnosis will be given until tests confirm your doctor’s provisional diagnosis. As our investigations are very in-depth they do sometimes reveal other underlying conditions, which we will help with.
