We use Clinical Pathology Laboratories and, to a lesser extent, Quest for 95% of our labs. We've had only a rare problem (always with Quest) with importing labs. Our downstairs hospital-owned lab - still faxed PDF's so they get almost none of my lab business.
And don't get me started about local "pain clinics". Around here there are just 2 kinds of pain clinics: the ones that sell pre-stamped prescriptions for the Holy Trinity (xanax, soma, vicodin) for $150 cash and the ones that will try an epidural for a hemorrhoid. ("Hey, we'll get paid nicely and maybe the steroid will circulate around to the patient's a$$ eventually!") Very frustrating. None of them are interested in managing chronic pain with meds and frankly I think I do a better job than they do anyhow.
