Just Get Tested

About PERSONALABS™

PERSONALABS was organized as a Florida Limited Liability Corporation on August 28, 2006 by lifelong friends, Dr. Edward Salko and Edgar Wilson.  They founded it for the purpose of providing clients with a fast, convenient, affordable, confidential method for health information services.  The company provides clients the ability to order laboratory testing online through our Web sites www.personalabs.com, www.justgettested.com and www.wedodna.com. Through a strategic relationship with Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp), one of the nation’s largest provider of lab testing services in the United states, clients can have their specimens collected at one of 1,700 convenient locations throughout the United States. PERSONALABS is a company for today and the future as more Americans decide to take control of their own healthcare. It serves as a scorecard for individuals to monitor their health and adjust their lifestyles to live a healthy and productive life.
PERSONALABS™ provides a Client-Driven Process that combines confidential health information with cutting-edge technology.  POTATA, the software behind the online ordering process is Patent Pending. This unique technology communicates directly from the consumer to the lab testing company eliminating the need for any additional human involvement other than the phlebotomist who collects the specimen. This process saves time and money as well as reduces the risk of errors in client data input and creates a digital record for easy access. It also allows a level of confidentiality never before available. The client’s information belongs to them to use as they wish. We undertake to honor or exceed the legal requirements of medical information privacy that apply in the United States.

After earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 1980, Dr. Salko’s career has been in family and emergency medicine.
