NextWave Diagnostic Laboratories was created by several principals from Wilmington Pathology Associates (WPA) in response to a desire by healthcare providers for a higher level of service and accessibility within our community. With the launch of NextWave, we are now able to offer an additional level of care, providing expertise in clinical laboratory medicine that the people of our communities deserve. Because many patients are now burdened with a larger portion of their healthcare insurance premiums, one of our guiding principles is to offer reasonably priced testing within our own geographic area in comparison to labs driven by Wall Street. Along with your heathcare provider, all aspects of patient care can now be handled locally to provide better service integration to physicians and their patients. We are committed to offering providers and patients a full-service, accredited laboratory that demonstrates an unparalleled level of quality and service. NextWave Diagnostic Laboratories utilizes the latest technology to offer phlebotomy services, STAT testing, and same day results along with a full reference menu. NextWave is staffed with a team of energetic, highly trained and dedicated professionals whose mission is to become your trusted heathcare provider in the ever-changing filed of laboratory medicine. Our approach to offer a high degree of personal attention, affordable testing and strong technical system innovations will advance the caliber of all medicine through clinical laboratory improvements in New Hanover and surrounding counties. We know your doctors, we know you, and the combined endeavor of Wilmington Pathology Associates and NextWave Diagnostic Laboratories will elevate the quality of service and care to everyone we serve.
