I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Labcorp for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Your doctor will take a small sample of tissue from the lining of your stomach during the biopsy test. Because this test is more invasive than other H. pylori testing, it is normally done in a hospital or clinic. Your doctor will provide anesthesia to you and place you on an operating table.
