We have Michigan trained and professional Phlebotomists at Westland Medical Clinics performing Phlebotomy Diagnostics Testing. Phlebotomy is simply to make an incision in a vein with a needle. The actual procedure is called venipuncture.
This is an invasive procedure due to the incision made through the body by a cut or puncture.
