PCR (polymerase chain reaction) COVID-19 tests use a highly accurate diagnostic technique that detects the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It involves amplifying and analyzing the viral RNA from a nasal or throat swab. Results are obtained within 24 hours, providing details about the infection's presence.
Book NowRapid PCR COVID-19 tests combine the accuracy of PCR technology with quicker results. It swiftly amplifies and detects the virus's genetic material from a swab sample. This test offers high sensitivity and specificity, delivering results in a shorter time frame, usually within a few hours, facilitating prompt identification and management of infections.
Book NowOur Rapid Antigen COVID-19 test is a quick diagnostic method used to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a person's body. It typically involves a nasal or throat swab sample. The test delivers results within a short time, often around 15-30 minutes, enabling swift identification and containment of potential infections.
Book NowEnsure a seamless surgical experience by meeting hospital requirements with our Surgery Pre-Op PCR test. This essential COVID-19 test is a prerequisite for scheduled surgeries. Patients undergo a simple nasal swab, and the results are delivered to your healthcare provider. Our goal is to provide peace of mind and a smooth transition into surgery when COVID testing is required beforehand.

Book NowThis 4-plex test detects COVID-19, Influenza A, Influenza B, and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) simultaneously from a single sample. This streamlined diagnostic approach enables comprehensive respiratory infection screening, aiding in accurate diagnosis, treatment, and containment efforts.
Book NowA COVID-19 antibody test examines blood for specific antibodies produced in response to the virus. It reveals whether someone has been previously infected, even if asymptomatic. This information aids in understanding population exposure, immunity, and vaccine effectiveness against the virus.
Book NowA virtually proctored self-test taken remotely with online supervision. Test-takers use their devices to complete the assessment while a remote proctor monitors via video. This method ensures integrity by preventing cheating, making it suitable for various exams, certifications, and remote learning scenarios.

Book NowMany people have been asking us questions about antibody testing for COVID-19
so I wanted to address what I can about this testing.
Antibodies are our immune system's response to pathogens such as viruses or bacteria. When a virus first enters your system it is attacked by local cells and a response is triggered to create these antibodies. Once you develop them, the antibodies can form a quick response to the same antigen (or virus) in the future. While this is a very simple explanation (and the immune system and antibodies are incredibly complex), it serves as a high-level overview of what we are trying to test for. The problem we are having right now is that we don’t have enough data to support whether any of the available tests are accurate in diagnosing acute infections or if they are useful in fighting future infections as it relates to COVID-19. In order to do so, we need significant testing at the same time as traditional PCR testing (nasal swabs) at the time of infection.
With all of that said, we have found a lab that we feel has good data. While none of them are perfect right now they are testing more antigens and antibodies than the other options we have found. We will also be trying to work closely with them to test our patients with PCR testing at the same time. This will help them collect the data they need to submit to the FDA and validate their testing further. It is the next battle in the war against COVID-19. With improved data we can develop better testing and potential vaccines. We are all part of a wild experiment now whether we want to be or not. If you are interested in knowing if you have antibodies or are willing to pay for antibody testing to help contribute to this data we greatly appreciate it. None of the money used to pay for your testing will be profit. We charge only what the company charges and a very small amount for the significant administrative time it takes to process the testing at this scale.
