About

Scripps Coastal Medical Center Eastlake Lab in Chula Vista draws specimens and processes clinical bloodwork from the first floor of the Scripps campus at 971 Lane Avenue. Integrated within a primary care facility housing physicians across nine specialties, the lab processes same-day blood draws for panels ordered throughout eastern Chula Vista's medical community, including patients of Otay Ranch-area practitioners such as Robert A. Sartor, MD at Sharp Rees-Stealy. Scripps Health, a nonprofit system treating over half a million patients annually, opened this Eastlake campus in October 2008 to replace the former Scripps Coastal location in Bonita. Lab services accessible at this location include CBC panels, comprehensive metabolic profiles, hemoglobin A1c monitoring, thyroid function tests, and prenatal screening. The on-site scheduling system supports time-sensitive lab requirements for specialists across the Otay Ranch medical corridor, including pre-operative bloodwork coordination with providers such as Otay Ranch Eyeworks Optometry for procedures requiring baseline lab clearance. Specimen routing connects this first-floor draw station to Scripps reference laboratories equipped for advanced molecular diagnostics, flow cytometry, and high-complexity immunoassay processing.
