Everything was great, especially my nurse practitioner. I have been there several times for everything from a broken bone to covid symptoms this time and it has always been excellent. Can't figured out the star system, but check the highest rating for me. Thanks for your help.

Wait time was good, got in at 1:40pm for my 1:30pm appointment. Staff was friendly and explained things to me. I did kind of get the impression that they were tired of me because I was trying to ask clarifying questions to make sure that later on I will not be thinking about the questions I was afraid to ask :P. It’s very easy for me to just accept what I’m told, and not ask anything, but I’m trying to learn to advocate for myself because it seems like that’s what is needed in healthcare. But I could tell they were definitely getting tired of me asking my dumb questions and just repeating answers they already gave because I was obviously didn’t hear it the first time. I probably need to work on my communication skills because I don’t feel like either of us felt like we were getting through to the other person. It felt like we both felt like we knew what the other person was saying and that they just weren’t willing to hear it.

My husband & I tested positive for COVID this AM. We both were able to very conveniently make online appointments for medical evaluations within 30 minutes of our requests. The UC Village-Albany Urgent Care clinic is modern and attractive with highly efficient, very welcoming, friendly, professional & personable administrative and medical staffs. All of the medical personnel have very kind and empathetic bedside manners and listened very well to (and heard!) and were responsive to our medical concerns and questions. We both were in and out of our appointments within 30 minutes. We are very appreciative and truly grateful to have your clinic so conveniently located near our home. Please keep up the great work!

Melanie went out of her way to accommodate my husband and me when we came in to get Covid tests. Due to our unforeseen scheduling error, we didn't have an appointment at that time, but she said we could wait in case she could fit us in between patients, even though they were fully booked. She was able to complete our tests quickly and courteously. We were extremely pleased with the care we received. Thanks, Melanie!

Sparkling Clean

Urgent care
Lab testing
After visiting Carbon about 10 days ago for an ear canal that was clogged with wax, my symptoms returned (ear pain, moist discharge from the ear canal.) So, unable to get an appointment with my PCP, I scheduled an appointment at Carbon. This time a different doctor saw me. As soon as she entered the room and asked me what was going on and learned that I had been using carbon oxide drops to try and re-clear my ear, she berated me and told me that I should not do that. She berated me over and over, like I was a stupid person, which put me off guard and had the effect of shutting me up. Then she looked in my ears and pronounced me to be healthy… nothing wrong. It felt like she wanted to be done with me. I told her that I had pain in my ear (to which she interrupted “take Advil”) and that every morning I woke up with a moist and slightly not nice smelling moist discharge coming from my ear. I asked if this is something that could be solved with antibiotics or steroids. She said she could give me prednisone “if I wanted” as if I would be the one to make the prescribing decision. Then I told her about the discharge and she said that she could give me some antibiotic drops, and that I should take Guifenesen. The doctor made very little effort to understand my issue and symptoms, and she had a pretty awful bedside manner. I would not want to see this doctor again. I left having zero sense of resolution, and zero confidence in the treatment plan she gave me. I guess I will try to see my PCP or go to an ENT. This was an awful waste of time and money. She prescribed antibiotic ear drops, and did not prescribe the prednisone.

Wait time was unexpectedly long!  I was there for one hour and 15 mins for an EKG the order was sent the day before so that was not the problem. Was called 15 mins after my scheduled appt and there was only one other person in the waiting room when I was called. Also when I arrived there was one person ahead of me.  Provider was very good and staff friendly. The assistant who who performed the EKG was great knowledge about the procedure. After the procedure I had a wait again another 15 mins.

This place is a hidden gem! I always try and avoid urgent care places as it’s usually a long wait, lots of people, not the cleanest and just difficult. But here, once I arrived the check in was seamless, the staff was friendly, the office very clean. And to top it off my doctor spent so much time with me ane was kind and listened. Highly recommend!

Great first experience. The only issue I have is that no one there answers the phone. We got a prescription sent to a pharmacy (our standard one) and the pharmacy didn’t have it in stock. Because carbon health does not answer the phone, where I could have had them submit the scrip to a new pharmacy, I needed to be the middle person on a wild goose chase between the pharmacy that didn’t have the medication and one that did. This is a very stressful position to be in as a parent with a very sick kid who desperately needs medicine. Other than that one component, I was happy with the experience. I reflected my disappointment under “staff friendliness”, as I wasn’t sure where else to put it. Staff wasn’t unfriendly, they just didn’t answer the phone.

Felt like my nasal congestion was turning into a bacterial infection so I scheduled an appointment to get it checked out. Online booking was easy. The staff was very friendly and they let me come a little early. There was a bit of a wait for me because I was being tested for Covid and flu and a few other things so that’s probably normal. overall service was very efficient and staff was very friendly and it was a very good experience all things considered.

- Verified patient on 1/30

Came in today to complete a drug screening for a school program I’ve been accepted to. The process was super easy and pleasant. The receptionist was very nice and clear on how to complete the paperwork. The EMT, Ashley, was kind and understanding when my bladder refused to listen to me on my first attempt. Overall, it was a good convenient experience and I would definitely come back here for care.

Came in for a drug screen. The virtual check-in process made my experience seamless. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

- Verified patient on 7/15

I only came here cause if my drug screen - staff/front desk was not friendly. They were abrasive - seem like if given a choice they would decline people coming in 15 min before closing time. My procedure would probably be one of the quickest but was being told they were closing soon incase I wanted to come back if unneeded more time. Just came across wrong.

- Verified patient on 3/23

I was a walking and I walked in for a drug screen requested by my potential employer and the receptionist not only allowed me to come and walk in extremely late she took care of my drug screen in 15 minutes I was in and out during the check-in process not only did she assist me I watched her so three other patients issues and executed with professionalism knowledge Grace in a very efficient manner. She was amazing I wish I got her name but she is definitely a success for this company

- Verified patient on 8/31

It was outstanding! Even though it was for a pre-employment drug screening. I was in and out within minutes.

- Verified patient on 8/2

I went in for a pre employment physical evaluation and a drug screening, went pretty well, except for the urine drug test. I have never done any drugs in my life, but this thing made it look like I do. it came back positive for opioids and morphine, a substance that naturally occurs in poppy seeds, which I ate on two “everything bagels” for lunch the previous day. Poppy seeds have enough codeine and morphine that naturally are in them that it triggered this false positive. I am just disappointed that the test can’t differentiate from a person who naturally consumes it through food, or malicious illegal use of a substance. I can’t believe that an everything bagel could be the cause of a bump in the road for me getting a job. Now I have to wait 3 to 5 days for an “accurate” lab test to see if it was naturally consumed through food, or ingested some other way, in which I have no idea how.

About Drug Tests

There are a variety of options for drug tests in Oakland, each able to detect illegal or prescription drugs in urine, blood, hair, perspiration, or saliva. The most common method of drug screening is urine testing, however, blood and hair tests are also used for specialized purposes. At-home drug tests are also readily available, but usually only test for one or two narcotics, such as marijuana, methamphetamine, and opiates such as heroin and cocaine. Lab-based drug tests are more thorough and screen for a wide range of substances and alcohol at the same time.

Drug testing is used for a variety of purposes, including assessing whether or not someone has recently consumed drugs or alcohol. Employers frequently utilize them as a pre-employment screening tool or sometimes as a requirement of on-going employment. In addition, drug testing for performance-enhancing drugs and other illegal substances are routinely conducted by athletic organizations. Law enforcement and courts employ drug testing in both criminal and civil cases. Finally, if your doctor has prescribed an opioid, he or she may request a drug test to ensure you're getting the correct dose of your medication.

A drug test is a very simple procedure that requires no preparation and poses no risk. The most frequent type of test is a urine test, which entails submitting a urine sample in a lab or medical office.The steps are as follows:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly, and clean your genital area with a cleansing pad provided by the facility.
  2. Begin urinating into the toilet, then move the collection cup under your urine stream to collect at least two ounces of urine in the container. There should be markings on the cup to assist with measurement.
  3. When complete, properly seal the cup using the provided instruction, flus the toilet, wash your hands again, and return the specimen to the technician or healthcare provider as instructed.

On the orders of law enforcement or the court, a technician may be required to be present while you take your sample. Make sure you follow all of the directions to guarantee that your test result is genuine and that you do not have to repeat the process.

Drug Test FAQs

  • How much does a drug test cost in Oakland?

    Most drug tests cost between $25 and $100. When conducted at a doctors office in Oakland you can expect to also add on an office visit charge or co-pay. At-home drug tests are also available and can cost less than $10, but are not as reliable. It really depends on what type of test you need. Check with your employer to see what their requirements are. They may even have a preferred lab or draw station they send you to.

  • Where can I get a drug test in Oakland?

    Drug tests are generally available throughout Oakland at medical testing labs, urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices, and many local pharmacies. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you have your drug test results sooner.

    Many employers require pre-employment drug testing prior to being hired. Others may require periodic or random drug testing during your term of employment. Additionally, primary care doctors may order a drug test if they suspect you have a problem with drugs or alcohol, while emergency room doctors may request a drug test if you're confused or your behavior seems strange or dangerous while in the ER.

  • How long do drug tests take?

    For most drug tests, you can be in and out of the testing center within 30 min. For results, however, it depends on what type of test you are getting done. Urine tests and blood tests could take 1-5 business days for results, while hair testing could take 4-10 business days. At-home drug testing, as well as some in-clinic tests may offer more rapid initial results, but the final conclusive results will take longer.

  • Is drug testing covered by my insurance?

    If the drug test is a pre-employment requirement or required by your employer, your employer will cover the cost of the test and will usually send you to a specific lab or draw station to facilitate the test. Beyond that, drug tests are typically out of pocket, and therefore not covered by insurance. It is possible, depending on your plan, that you could submit the receipt to your insurance requesting reimbursement.

  • What is the most accurate drug test?

    There are many different ways to collect a sample for a drug test including hair, saliva, and sweat, but blood tests are the most accurate. They are also the most invasive and costly given that they are processed by a trained phlebotomist and analyzed in a lab, and usually the variety that are required by serious employers.
