1. Ultrasound Technology: More Than Just Prenatal Imaging

While most people associate ultrasounds with pregnancy, they are used for far more. At Total Family Care LV, we provide in-house ultrasound diagnostics to:

• Assess abdominal pain and swelling
• Evaluate organ function (liver, kidneys, bladder)
• Examine thyroid nodules
• Identify gallstones or kidney stones
• Support vascular and pelvic assessments

Ultrasounds are safe, non-invasive, and use sound waves instead of radiation.

2. Blood Laboratory: Your Body’s Early Warning System

Our in-house blood lab is vital for preventive and ongoing care. We can detect a variety of conditions through simple blood tests:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Blood glucose and A1C for diabetes
• Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4)
• Liver and kidney panels
• Lipid profile (cholesterol)
• Hormonal panels and sexual health screenings

These tests help us track your health trends and respond quickly to any abnormalities.

3. EKG (Electrocardiogram): Fast and Reliable Heart Health Monitoring

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death in the U.S., but an EKG can help catch problems early. At Total Family Care LV, we offer on-site EKGs to:

• Detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
• Diagnose chest pain causes
• Monitor heart disease progression
• Assess overall heart health before starting new medications

An electrocardiogram is quick, painless, and a critical tool in our diagnostic toolkit.
