At Mainely Primary Care in Kennebunk, ME, we remind patients that regular blood work and lab testing are the best way to stay healthy. These simple tests provide an “under-the-hood” view of how their bodies are functioning. In many cases, we can detect problems long before symptoms appear.

The best part? We draw labs in house and have negotiated cash prices 80-90% less than retail pricing. Supporting our values of affordability and cost transparency while eliminating insurance claims and large surprise lab bills.

While blood draws and point of care testing is included with membership and performed right in our office, bloodwork is processed at Quest Diagnostics, a leading national laboratory.

Why Bloodwork Matters

Your body is always working behind the scenes. Over time, hormones, blood sugar, immune activity, and nutrient levels change. Without testing, it’s impossible to know how these changes are impacting your health. Routine blood work identifies deficiencies, imbalances, and early disease markers. When caught early, many conditions can be prevented or reversed before they become serious.

At Mainely Primary Care, we don’t just hand you a report filled with numbers. Philip Browne, FNP-C, and Debbie Pitchforth, FNP-C, take the time to sit down with you and explain what the results mean. After all, what good are numbers if you don’t know how to apply them to your health? Together, we’ll turn data into an action plan that supports your wellness today and in the years to come

Blood Tests We Use (And More)

Complete Blood Count (CBC):
Evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to identify anemia, infections, and early signs of immune system concerns.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP):
Measures kidney and liver function, electrolytes, and blood glucose levels—offering insight into organ function and overall metabolic health.
Lipid Panel:
Assesses cholesterol, including HDL (“good cholesterol”), LDL (“bad cholesterol”), and triglycerides. Lipid panels are essential for understanding heart health and preventing cardiovascular disease.
Thyroid Panel:
This test measures hormones such as TSH, T3, and T4 to identify underactive or overactive thyroid function, common causes of fatigue, weight changes, and mood shifts.
Hemoglobin A1c:
This test provides a three-month average of your blood sugar, helping to identify prediabetes and diabetes before complications develop.
Vitamin D and Nutrient Testing

Identifies deficiencies in Vitamin D, B12, iron, and other nutrients that affect mood, energy, and immunity.

Six Conditions That Early Bloodwork Can Detect or Prevent

Here are six conditions that early blood work and lab testing can detect and help prevent:

1. Diabetes
Blood sugar and A1c testing help identify prediabetes early—giving you a chance to reverse the condition with lifestyle changes before it becomes long-term.

2. Heart Disease
Elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, or inflammatory markers can reveal cardiovascular risk years before symptoms occur. Early detection means early prevention.

3. Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid issues are often overlooked but can cause fatigue, weight gain, or anxiety. Testing helps us treat imbalances before they disrupt your life.

4. Anemia and Nutrient Deficiencies
Low iron, Vitamin B12, or Vitamin D can sap your energy and affect your overall wellness. Simple bloodwork helps restore your levels quickly.

5. Kidney or Liver Disease
Organ damage can occur silently for years. Routine CMP testing detects dysfunction early, allowing for proactive treatment.

6. Autoimmune Conditions
Abnormalities in white blood cell counts or inflammation markers can provide early warning signs of autoimmune activity, giving us time to intervene.

We Put the Emphasis on Preventive Care and Chronic Disease Management

Preventive care means staying ahead of disease—not just reacting when something goes wrong. With regular labs, we track subtle changes that may indicate future problems.

For those already managing chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disease, blood work helps monitor progress and adjust treatment plans. Whether your goal is staying healthy or managing a condition, you’ll always have clear, continuous insight into your health.

At Mainely Primary Care, our focus is on long-term wellness—not quick fixes
