Can anyone be tested?

We are testing anyone of all ages who would like to be tested. Whether you have symptoms or not, we can test you! This includes testing for travel and other COVID-19 testing requirements!

Do I need to make a reservation?

We highly encourage you to make a reservation online to complete your patient registration prior to your visit. At this time, due to high patient volume, we can not accommodate walk-ins for COVID Testing.

Wait times are based on patient volume, so reserving your spot in line will allow you to fill out all necessary paperwork prior to your visit and keep you updated with wait times. In order to serve you for your visit, all online registration information must be completed before your visit! This will guarantee you will be seen.

*If you are unable to complete online registration, paper registration documents can be provided for you at the clinic! If there is a complication with completing the online registration, do not worry. We can assist you at the clinic as well!

What if I test positive?

Stay home and isolate at least 10 days since your symptoms began, at least 24 hours since you last had a fever without the use of fever-reducing medications, and symptoms have improved overall.

What if I test positive?

COVID-19 PCR test results are sent directly to an online portal through GENETWORx or Quest Diagnostics as soon as they become available! Please refer to the results card we provide at your visit with further details about how to set up your accounts for results based on the lab.

Rapid Testing results are provided in the clinic 15 minutes after the test is performed.

If you would like for results to be delivered through an alternative format, please call the clinic once they become available!
