PCR COVID Test
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is the gold standard and accurate and reliable test for diagnosing COVID-19. A positive test means you likely have COVID-19. A negative test means you probably did not have COVID-19 at the time of the test.
PCR is only offered by appointment. Patients who are exposed or have COVID symptoms are strongly advised to not enter the clinic. When you arrive in the parking lot, please remain in your vehicle, call the front office and wait for the medical staff to swab your nose.
Rapid (Antigen) Test
Antigen Test is intended for the qualitative detection of the antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal or anterior nasal swab specimens directly collected from individuals who are either suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first five days of symptom onset or from individuals without symptoms who may have been exposed to COVID patients.
Results will be available in 20 minutes.

COVID home test kits are available for free. Patients are welcome to walk in and pick up COVID-19 Test Home Collection Kits. For more information, please read the below instructions:
