The Buffalo Medical Group Clinic
al Laboratory
plays an active and key role in assisting BMG
physicians diagnose medical problems and with
the overall health care of their patients. The
satellite laboratories and phlebotomy services
located in each of the Buffalo Medical Group’s
larger medical buildings supplement the main
full service laboratory on Sheridan Drive in
Williamsville.
The highly skilled and experienced laboratory
staff provides, in most cases, less than 24-hour
turnaround time for laboratory results. When
necessary, the laboratory staff is able to provide “STAT” test results, and results with critical or
special importance are communicated directly to
the physician. This one-on-one contact with
BMG physicians enables the laboratory to run
additional tests or re-run tests of previously
received samples, if requested. The extensive
range of BMG laboratory services is a reflection
of the laboratory staff’s focus on ensuring physician
satisfaction as well as enhancing patient
care and convenience.
Phlebotomy services are available at 85 High
Street (2nd floor), Buffalo, Monday – Friday,
7:30 am to 4:30 pm; 3345 Southwestern
Boulevard, Orchard Park,Monday – Friday,
7:30 am to 3:30 pm; 295 Essjay Road,
Williamsville, Monday – Friday, 7:30 am to 8 pm,
and Saturday, 8 am to noon; and 2741 Transit
Road, Elma, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Friday, 7:30 am to 11:30 am.
The BMG takes pride in the fact that with the
aid of high-speed state-of-the-art equipment,
1.5 million tests are performed each year and
are available for physicians review via an
online laboratory information system. This
high-tech online feature provides the clinician
with immediate access to laboratory test
results.This is particularly beneficial to clinicians
and patients because it not only reduces
turn-around-time, but leads to quicker diagnosis
and faster treatment of illnesses.
In addition, automatic trending analysis is
available to clinicians for patients who have
laboratory testing performed through the
BMG laboratory on a regular basis. This is an
important tool for diagnosis and treatment of
diabetes, prostate cancer and other types of
illnesses.

Laboratory’s departments, as well as some of
