Home / About Us
A laboratory built for people who need answers
Helix Diagnostix is a high complexity clinical laboratory in Pompano Beach, Florida, federally licensed under CLIA and accredited by COLA. We run chemistry, toxicology, pain management, molecular and general health testing for providers in all fifty states.
Our mission
To deliver fast, accurate and reliable diagnostic results that clinicians can act on the same day, with a level of service that makes the laboratory the easiest part of their week.
We built Helix because too many treatment programs were waiting days for results that should take hours, chasing faxes, and calling labs that never picked up. Every decision here — the instruments we bought, the interfaces we built, the way we staff the phones — comes back to that.
