We offer two kinds of tests for COVID-19: a diagnostic test (PCR or Rapid) and antibodies test. PCR tests detect viral RNA and the results are available within 24-48 hours.
The RAPID antigen tests are on-the-spot screening tests that detect proteins in the virus and, as the
name suggests, deliver results within minutes.
Antibodies tests look for antibodies created by your immune system in your blood that fight the
virus that causes COVID-19. They are made after you have been infected or have been vaccinated
against an infection. The results are available within minutes.

COVID-19 testing is currently available to our patients and the public.
There are three types of testing available for COVID-19 virus infection.
The types are:
1. A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) TEST, is a nasal swab test. This test determines if an
individual is CURRENTLY INFECTED with the corona virus.
The results are available within 24-48 hours.
2. A Rapid COVID-19 ANTIGEN TEST is also a nasal swab test. Positive results indicate the
presence of viral antigens, but other information is necessary to determine infection status.
The results are available within 15 minutes.
3. IgG Antibody Test for immunity determines if the individual had been exposed to the COVID-
19 any time in the past and if their body has made antibodies against the virus. This test requires
a blood draw done at our clinic.
The results are available within 15 minutes.
If you experience any of these symptoms, we encourage you to make an
appointment with us and get tested.If you already tested positive for COVID-
19 infection, call us or and we will schedule a telemedicine appointment with
our physician. He will evaluate your symptoms, explain the condition to you,
and if appropriate, prescribe medication and advise you of additional
treatment that might be available.
