Incredible experience! The ma working reception was great. The doctor was amazing, caring, responsive, and helpful! I will definitely be going back to this location in the future and think the staff members deserve praise! The ma who checked me before the dr was also very kind and cheerful. Check in was easy and I appreciated them redoing my drs note to have the verbiage needed by my job.

Arrived at 10:40, just before the clinic got very busy. Next time I will begin the paperwork online, in advance, and arrive earlier. I got excellent care for lingering respiratory concerns, after having the flu. Even tho I had got this year's flu vax in September. I wish the people in the waiting area would wear masks. But hey, trumpo said it is all a hoax so here we go again.

Very easy checkin process, staff was very pleasant, the nurse was also friendly. Zero wait time, we were in and out in no time. Far better option than a hospital/emergency room.

Watertown urgent care - today a Young guy met me outside and asked me questions about symptoms for patient safety. Girl with glasses was cleaning the waiting room chairs and wiping down surfaces ! Nurse was knowledgeable and swift. Doctor was a very nice woman who made sure all my questions were answered. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. Highly recommend !!

I am always appreciative of the connivence this office offers.   Today I had a gentleman doctor and I thought although very upbeat and friendly, I was uncomfortable with the religious questions.  I personally believe there is a time and place, at this appointment was not it.  One, I didn’t feel well and the appointment should have stayed about that.  Two, he is  unaware of my circumstances and that was not the place.  I heard how he had converted, he asked me if I did, and it was very uncomfortable because again he had no idea of my circumstances A suggestion to possibly keep the appointment chatter on a lighter note. People coming in don’t feel well to begin with, any kind of heavy conversation may lead to some awkwardness (and it absolutely did).   Faith, and religion should be off the table for light conversation   Thank you.

Seen for respiratory issue- thorough work up by HE NP. She was very knowledgeable and attentive.  Told me to f/u with my pulmonologist if symptoms worsen and told me how to use the medication she sent to pharmacy.  Worth the 15 min drive and 10/10 care here.  Highly recommended urgent care.

I was a walk-in for a Covid test on a Saturday. I didn’t see on the website that walk ins are only taken after 1:00pm. I arrived around 12:30 pm. There was no one there so I don't understand why they couldn’t take me. By 1:00 pm the waiting room began to fill up which could have been avoided. The wait wasn’t that long and the results were quick. Overall a great experience. The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional.

Had a video consultation with Dr. Rick. He was friendly and personable. He recommended that I get covid tested and called the office ahead of my arrival 30 minutes later. The staff at the office was speedy and courteous. I was done in less than 5 minutes. Now I wait for the results...

I scheduled an appointment for 8am and was not seen until after 9am, the nurse who took my Covid test was great, very friendly, quick and informative, the girl at the front desk was not very informative or friendly. Very clean facility!

- Verified patient on 2/23

I used the text service to say that I was here then came in when they said I could. Then after I checked in I waited in a seat that was spaced away from other chairs until I could get tested. After that I got the test and went straight out. The person who implemented my test was friendly and helpful with their explanations.

I came in for a rapid COVID test so I could see my dad in hospice. When I mentioned the reason I was there, the staff was so kind and worked to get me in and out quickly. When I needed my results sent a second time, they were so helpful and sent them quickly. Thanks for making a difficult time a bit easier. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your kindness.

Needed a rapid PCR test for travel because I didn't get my original results back in time for the lab. Was able to book an appointment on their website for the same day and got my results an hour after my visit. I highly recommend ARCpoint Labs Woburn

- Verified patient on 1/24

I have the app but it always says that there are no appointments but when I went onto the website I was able to get right in. I only waited a 1/2 hour for a Dr. meeting and after that I could go anytime. When I got there I was the only person there and the gal that tested me came right out and was super nice

Wanted a quick covid test. Very easy to call, schedule,and get in to get the test done. Only complaint is I was not told when the results will be in. I guess I'll callback to find out.

The Chelmsford staff has been very friendly, efficient & accommodating. We have used the COVID testing opportunity several times & appreciate all they have done to make this experience as simple as possible. Bravo to all!

The staff was amazing. Friendly and helpful. The doctor was great and the gentleman who administered my test was very friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable. He even brought me a lollipop!! I would highly recommend to everyone.

Needed a Covid travel test but couldn’t find an appointment anywhere. Called ARCpoint Labs of Woburn and spoke with the receptionist. They were able to squeeze me in the same day. I got my results within about 3 hours. The wait time was short and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this office.

I needed a rapid PCR COVID19 test. This was one of the few facilities that offered walk in appointments. The wait was lengthy. The staff was friendly and helpful. They explained everything that was going to happen and answered all questions.

This was the third time that we had used AFC, and each time the ease of getting an appointment, the speed with which we get through our appointments into our testing and the friendliness of the staff go above and beyond!

- Verified patient on 2/9

Needed a quick covid test. My phone call was answered by a real human. The procedure to get the test taken was explained thoroughly. Questions were answered and the test was administered quickly. All the staff, nurses and doctor were all professional, courteous and caring. I do highly recommend this service.

- Verified patient on 4/2

I called to pcr test, because I have to travel. i had my appt fot the same day and the result arrive 1 hour later the test. It was great. The only Negative point is the price $175. If you need quick test this is the right place.

- Verified patient on 2/3

Waited over an hour from my appointment time which was unfortunate but understandable. The physician who I saw was extremely disappointing and did not respect my patient autonomy to receive the care that I wanted. Being someone who is in the medical field, i would never say “alright, i’m done hitting my head against the wall,” to a patient who is requesting something as simple as a COVID test. The rest of the staff inside the actual office were very friendly and caring.

- Verified patient on 1/9

Confusing that we needed to drive in the back to learn about payment procedures. Instructions to wait for a call from the doctor. Instead the health care attendant came to deliver the test. Happy about the quick results.

- Verified patient on 1/31

Great place and staff. Definitely recommend this place if you are traveling and need to get your COVID test done. Get your appointment in few days ahead and the rest is simple. Result is made available in few hours.

- Verified patient on 2/25

Boston 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.

The personnel at the lab testing facility will demonstrate how to do each type of test.
