I already was diagnosed with telemedicine but since I was already taking Zofran for my nausea they refused to prescribe me anything but ibuprofen and my symptoms got so bad that I was considering going to the emergency room, tonsils, throat, neck, jaw were all swollen, gums were bleeding, completely lost my appetite and my voice completely, I didn’t even make an Appointment. Didn’t even tell them what I had or how much pain I was in and was seen so quick, even being a new patient walk in!

Taylor was super awesome. She carries herself in a way that is the most perfect balance of professional and knowledgeable, while also feeling like a friend. She’s easily the best healthcare provider I’ve been to in AGES. On the ride home following my visit I was telling partner that she's the only provider I’ve genuinely been interested in for my PCP. He and I both will be getting care in the future! :)

The only reason I didn’t give wait time a 5 star review is because I had scheduled my appointment and did my registration online and I still had to wait about 30 minutes. I expected to wait about 15 minutes but not 30. I probably could have just walked in and waited the same amount of time because I was the only one in the waiting room when I got there. However, on the plus side, I was still called back and attended to promptly before the others who checked in after me were called back.

I have been having issues with extreme dizziness, earache, headaches, nausea, I finally decided to go to Dr to see what was going on and I was informed that I had inner ear. The staff was very friendly and efficient and the nurse and Dr. did an awesome job getting my ear irrigated enough to finally see there was no damage to my ear drum. Thank you all👍

I was in and out quickly. Staff was great. Problems not resolved. I know arthritis pain. Have had it for years what's going on with me is different. Was told if my thumbs were outta joint they would be bruising. My daughter's elbow was popped outta joint two times with no bruising. So I am dealing with unbearable pain. Will not go back to this facility. My health is not a joke. Do not recommend Colleen Malone. Got x-rays if my hands somewhere else, my thumbs were separated from my hands. So her diagnosis was not right due to just guessing and not taking my injury seriously 😒.

I was able to choose a Labcorp location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

I was able to speak with a doctor soon after and was taking care of. I was very satisfied with the experience I had here.

I wanted a rapid COVID-19 test, due to my husband resent heart attack and upcoming appointments. I was @ Physcians Care Sunday, 1-3-21 and there was a 6 1/2 hr. wait. I was told to come back @ 8:00 am. I went ahead and filled out all paperwork and gave my id, Ins. cards. 1-4-21 I was at office @ 8:05 am. Called and told, whoever answered the phone, I had arrived and in the parking lot. I stood in line outside, in 28 degree temperature, waiting my turn for approximately 40 minutes. When I entered the receptionist asked if I’d signed in, I said I called, she said you have to sign in, and the wait time was appropriately 3 hours. I was not told by ANYONE Sunday morning or Monday morning that I had to sign in!!! Finally seen Dr @ 11:00! The personnel absolutely should be told to tell patients about their signin policy!!! I realized with COVID-19 it’s a busy time, but to not be made aware of the signin policy is very upsetting!!!

I'm from Texas and developed cold/flu symptoms and feared it might be a Covid Delta variant breakthrough. I was able to get a same day appointment for a rapid Covid test. It wasn't COVID-19, but was a sinus infection and autoimmune response that caused swelling in my face and throat. Got a steroid shot and Rx for antibiotic. All of the staff was friendly and efficient. I wish we had a Physician's Care Clinic where I live!

Fast and easy solution for a Covid Test. The staff was really nice and capable. The $170 price tag when the test is free at other locations was a bummer. The cost of procrastination.

Dr. Drumm was amazing! I really felt listened to and taken care of. He is very proactive in my healthcare and took the time to explain possible explanations, the tests we are doing to narrow it down, and possible treatments. I never felt rushed or brushed off. It truly was a great experience, if not the best, experience I have had with a doctor.

The receptionist doesn't answer the phone. I called for 45 minutes to get the result of my covid test. She never answered. Now tomorrow I'll go down there again if she doesn't answer. It's possible I could have covid. I don't feel good so this episode with her really upset me. The rest of the staff is excellent.

I had a wonderful experience shalonda was a great virtual person she answered all my questions and was very friendly this call was difficult for me because my best friend tested positive for covid he was vaccinated. This was my second exposure although my results are pending me and my wife tested positive back in August we both ended up in the ER and I got better my wife ended up in ICU on life support and I lost her September 8 she was truly wonderful the love of my life. But I got through this call with friendly staff like shalonda. Thank you again

This was a great experience! I had used the brick and mortar for my daughter recently and had to wait in line at 7 AM for a Covid test timeslot - but I’m on crutches and had the opportunity and enough time to set up a virtual visit to now schedule my test that I need to travel domestically in a few days. Yes there was a little bit of a wait for the zoom link but of course you guys are swamped and taking care of everyone so I expected and did not mind that at all. But once the provider came on she was sweet and professional and it was efficient and got me taken care of. It couldn’t have gone smoother I really value the way you have this set up

My experience was lovely, considering I'm after a covid test. the attendant was very pleasant and polite the only issue that I had was when i was sent a link to choose my location for my testing none of them were really that close to me. I'm in Oxford and I only had options to go to Atlanta Marietta McDonough Roswell ...so it's kind of out of the way which is a little bit annoying. However the call and the sound were clear so I would still recommend it. I don't know if there's a reason that those were my only options I did choose the rapid response test so maybe that was why.

Very friendly and professional staff. I had an appointment (went in for a covid rapid test), however usually you still have to wait for awhile. But that was not the case, I was seen right away. They said I'd have the results in about 30 minutes, but I think I only waited maybe 10/15 minutes. The doctor (and/or nurse practitioner - can't remember which one) was very nice and sent my medications to my pharmacy. Overall, it was quick and easy, and again the staff was VERY nice. Usually all staff at doctor's offices are rude and cold (at least in my experience). Thank you Macley's!

With a growing amount of C-19 cases popping up, we weren’t sure if we would be able to find a place to get tested. We visited a few different clinics and were unsuccessful in obtaining a test or a referral. We did, however, find Reagan Medical Center (Five Fork Facility). Although we were not able to be seen that day because it was after 6pm when we arrived, nevertheless, we were given instructions on how to be seen the following day. RMC were very sympathetic to our needs and after following their instructions, we were promptly seen and tested the following morning. What really stood out to us was how fast they were working and really putting in a lot of effort to see patients even though they were obviously overwhelmed with test request. We actually saw them running in and out of the medical facility to speed up the testing process. Bravo! Reagan Medical Center!! For not just going through the motions but actually demonstrating how much you care and your dedication to helping people during this pandemic. Please keep up the awesome work because it is not going by unnoticed.

For the past few days I’d been feeling like I had an upper respiratory infection. I had also just returned from a trip and began experiencing COVID symptoms. I woke up this morning and felt like I needed to see a doctor. I googled the the nearest Piedmont Urgent Care center and saw that they had virtual appointments as early as 6 am! I scheduled an appointment and the provider agreed I needed to be tested for covid and also called in some prescriptions for me. This was a great experience where I was able to seek care from my home and I will definitely utilize this service again.

I truly did not expect such on the ball caring experience in this time of massive Covid testing but I was given good advice based on my own personal health condition as I would get from my own doctor. Vivian, Katie, and Raq’ia were all excellent in their skill sets and the front desk personnel were also friendly and efficient. I felt so much more knowledgeable about What to do to manage my own Covid Prevention and Screenings than expected. I couldn’t have been more impressed by these courageous heroes of our world pandemic. BTW this is coming from somebody who is very very picky about human relations and skilled medical professionals. This group was completely on top of it!

First, I couldn't schedule COVID-19 testing near me. It was such a relief to get an appointment. Second, I got there early to make sure I was seen. I heard stories from other places where appointments were canceled frequently. The app showing where I was at in line reassured me that wouldn't be an issue. Third, the clinic was clean and bright and very welcoming. I liked it so much I took down some ideas for my own home decor. Last, but definitely not least, EVERYONE WAS AWESOME!!!! Every person I worked with was friendly, nice, gave clear instructions, and felt like real people. I don't care that Atlanta Plus UC is an hour away, and other clinics are closer. I'll come back here anytime I can.

Upon walking in the door for the rapid Covid test, I encountered a staff member sitting at a table. I was not greeted or acknowledged for a short period of time. Although she wasn’t on the phone or talking to anyone, she chose to ignore me until she finished what she was doing. It literally takes 2 seconds to make eye contact, say hello, I’ll be right with you. As if I wasn’t feeling bad enough physically and certainly didn’t come to make her obvious bad day worse, it just adds another layer to the question, what type of care will I receive here? Fortunately, the staff member who preformed the test was quite polite and very professional as was the staff member who relayed the test results.

This is my 4th or 5th visit to Undeniable Health Care. Each have been 5-star appointments. These visits have all been COVID-19 test related, due to exposure from other people. Even when they were so busy, they were still courteous, thoughtful and professional! One time the deadline to get the samples sent to the lab was rapidly approaching and they made adjustments so all of us there for testing could get out results out that day! And they were every bit 5-star in attitude, action and professionalism! I have recommended Undeniable Health Care to multiple people and will continue to do so. Thank you for opening up here in south Peachtree City, Georgia.

I am so thankful to have found Blue Ocean Lab Services. My son was experiencing cold like symptoms and his father was sick so I wanted to get him checked out. The moment I arrived after scheduling my appointment I was greeted by a male Dr “I truly wish I knew his name” he was very kind and sincerely helpful to both my son and myself. I was informed hours later with the test results via email and a heartwarming phone call. I am truly very appreciative to Blue Ocean Laboratory Services. I highly recommend everyone to use their services.

My first time visiting Atlanta Plus Urgent Care! My Mom, my husband and I all needed Covid testing. Being concern of not wanting to expose my Mom to any additional germs Cierra was very polite and professional about giving us the option to sit in the car until it was our time. She was also very thorough with the intake process. Once we were called in Janel continued the exceptional professionalism your business offers. Janel proceeded to process of 3 of us without missing a step. I will wholeheartedly recommend APUC and will definitely be back when services are needed.

Drive thru was great! But some young yt kid with swoosh blonde hair in faded red scrubs was very bossy! Told me I shouldn’t have told them my first and middle name (I was trying to include both bc I didn’t know which they had on file from my previous test..) he was very sassy & smart mouthed! Then, after I got my results (negative), I pulled forward to text family my results *way far away from the drive thru line*** and he come running all the way thru a row of parked cars in the parking lot, taps on my window VIGOROUSLY then I roll it down, looking confused, and he says “um didn’t you get results already?” And I said “oh, yeah? I was just texting, ahaha” and he said “oh ok yeah well we need you to leave.” Like???? I wasn’t in the way at all-no one behind me?! But he wants to run across the parking lot to shoo me out for WHAT? It was funny, he was taking it a lil too serious..like bro don’t you have a test to be running or sum??

The person who swabbed my nose for my COVID PCR test was Stephanie. She went above and beyond to help me find their location. She even went to the edge of the street so that she could flag me down when I got to the location. I’m unfamiliar with Gainesville and my GPS kept leading me 1/2 mile in the wrong direction. Without her guidance, I never would have found the facility. She was so nice, gentle with the swab, and very thorough. She even helped me turn off my pop up blocker on my phone in Safari so that I wouldn’t miss my email results. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH STEPHANIE!!!

THE NURSE WHO DID THE TEST EXPLAINED, ALLOWED ME TO ASK QUESTION, WAS VERY WARM AND COULD NOT ASK FOR BETTER CARE THAN SHE GAVE. ONLY STAFF PERSON I LEARNED NAME WAS STEPHANIE THE PA. HER EXAM WAS THOROUGH, VERY PERSONABLE AND ALSO VERY KIND. I SPENT 60+ YEARS AS A NURSE IN DIFFERENT MEDICAL FIELDS SO FEEL CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS CLINIC AND STAFF PROVIDE ELITE SERVICE WITH CARING,KIND AND PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDES AND I AM MOST GRATEFUL I WAS SEEN THERE AS A PATIENT.

SHE RELATED MY AGE OF 89 YEARS AND MANY HEALTH ISSUES, SO THEY ADVISED WOULD SEE ME THAT DAY ALTHOUGH THEY HAD STOPPED TAKING ANY MORE PATIENTS THAT DAY, SO THEY SAW ME OVER THEIR USUAL CAPACITY LIMIT. COST COVERED BY MEDICARE AND BCBS CERTAINLY WOULD AND WILL RECOMMEND. CHECK IN EASY.

Amazing. Nurse Charles was top notch GREAT. He was very kind to my little boy, 3 yrs old. He tried all tests (temp, oxygen, heart rate) on me to make sure equipment worked properly before waking my very sick child to work him up. I thought was above and beyond compassionate and really appreciated his kindness. He explained all tests to me before doing anything to him (strep, flu, and covid). We were checked on frequently. He was seen quickly but i did not feel like we were being rushed in and out. The NP or PA who saw him was great as well. She was very kind and made sure all concerns were addressed. I've been to CMS urgent care before and I've always been happy with the care I've received. Thanks again Charles for your kindness and care. We appreciate you!

I did a virtual visit to get my covid test. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get a same day test with that but I d4ove to the location and waited in my car for the virtual visit. There was a line of about 30 ppl waiting inviting of the building. The site crashed and wouldn't let me log into the visit,but the staff was on.point. They called about 5 minutes after my appt was supposed to occur and got me screened. They told me I didn't have to wait in.line and that someone would com swab me at my car shortly. Overall from arrival to departure the experience took an hour and change. They called me with the results so I didn't have to wait around. Best system for testing efficiency I've seen so far. Those waiting in line hadn't done a virtual visit. I recommend signing up for the virtual visit, saved time and I got to wait in my warm car.

The doctor who provided car during the virtual visit was amazing, as was the care provider who actually conducted the Covid swab for the testing. However, the in person check in procedure at the urgent care center could definitely be streamlined to limit exposure and wait times. Even though all three of my fault members had already completed paperwork and a virtual visit and just needed to alert staff that we had arrived, we waited in line in the waiting room for 12 minutes behind others who had not done those things and this had more extensive needs from the front desk staff.

Chattanooga Valley Lab Tests

Lab tests take samples of your blood, urine, saliva, and other bodily secretions, which are then analyzed in a lab to help doctors diagnose and treat certain illnesses. Lab tests can be used to diagnose an illness, detect changes in an existing condition, and monitor how your body responds to a therapy, among other things. They can also be used to monitor the progression of a disease or a set of diseases.

If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test. To see how you're responding to a drug or to check if you're at risk for certain diseases, lab tests may be performed.If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test. To see how you're responding to a drug or to check if you're at risk for certain diseases, lab tests may be performed.

Some lab tests require no preparation at all, while others may require you to fast for eight to twelve hours before the test in order to avoid erroneous results from certain meals and beverages. Your healthcare provider may advise you to cease smoking, exercising, and taking certain medications and nutritional supplements for many hours or days before your blood test.

Before your lab test, ask your doctor for precise instructions to follow to minimize erroneous results and multiple trips to the lab for additional testing.

STD test results might arrive in minutes, days, or weeks, depending on the lab test company you work with.

  • Do I need to see a doctor before getting a lab test?

  • How long does getting a lab test take?

    The majority of lab tests are completed in a matter of minutes, but certain providers may have extensive wait times that require you to spend up to an hour in the lab. To limit the amount of time you spend waiting for your lab test, schedule an appointment with Solv ahead of time.

  • Should I try at-home lab testing?

    Privacy, convenience, and accuracy are all advantages of at-home lab testing. Some at-home lab testing services, however, may not be covered by your health insurance plan. Some healthcare practitioners may seek additional lab tests to corroborate their diagnosis of specific health concerns. Consult your doctor to see if at-home lab testing is appropriate for you, given your unique health situation.Privacy, convenience, and accuracy are all advantages of at-home lab testing.
