Overview

The Proctor Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory is certified by the State of California and CLIA for specialized bacterial and viral tests related to eye diseases. Dr. Todd Margolis is Chief of the laboratory, Vicky Cevallos is the Senior Clinical Laboratory Technical Specialist, and Cathy Donnellan is a Technical Specialist.
In addition to diagnostic testing of patient specimens, the laboratory supports faculty on research studies in clinical ocular microbiology. In keeping with the Proctor Foundation's goal to constantly upgrade the laboratory services available to the community, the clinical laboratory has recently developed diagnostic PCR for ocular VZV, HSV-1, HSV-2, CMV and T. gondii and has included this testing in its list of available assays under Services.
