Woke up this morning with full body aches; was an hour late for work because of the pain and decided to go to City Life Health where they did a thorough checkup. I was able to get a prescription for the pain and nausea along with a Dr's note for my job.

I cut my leg badly a couple of days ago and needed help asap! I immediately thought of the closest Urgent Care on Valley Forge Rd. and Sumneytown Pike in Lansdale. I was a walk-in and there were a couple of sick children ahead of me so they immediately got me to a private room where I wouldn't be exposed to germs and cleaned my leg while I waited for the on-duty physician's assistant, Catherine Moran. She was attending to those ahead of me but came in to evaluate my injury and informed me that the wound would require stitches. When she finished with the others, she attended to me and did an outstanding job! Not only was the stitching painless but the quality of her handiwork was fabulous! She was calm and reassuring as were the nurse who performed the preliminary duties (blood pressure, information gathering, etc.) and staff. I was impressed with the competence of everyone involved and would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need! Thank you to all of the staff who helped me!

They didn't ask when I first had symptoms and that would have determined the outcome of a covid test. They could have suggested I wait at least another day before returning there. As a result, I tested negative at AFC and positive two days later. As a result, my $55 copay was wasted.

Should have just waited for the snow day to pass and have come here on Tuesday instead of going to CVS on that snowy Monday when the Montgomery County clinics were closed! CVS was pretty impersonal, the directions for the packaged test materials were very unclear, and I waited 3 days only to get an inconclusive result! Not here, though! These wonderful people at Montgomery County, however, are on the ball! Night and day difference! This was the second time I've been tested here. The first was in December due to a possible exposure from someone who helped my husband and I move. And this time, it was simply because my best friend lives in an over-65 life-plan community which has nearly everyone there now vaccinated but is requiring immediate family to either quarantine for 10 days or have a negative test within 72 hours of a visit. And I hadn't had lunch with her since mid-November. She just had a knee replacement and hasn't been able to drive. I am almost 40 and healthy, but the isolation at home here with my husband is really crushing me, even though I'm grateful he is here with me and I'm not totally alone. I've been unemployed for almost 8 years, and not for lack of trying. Anyway..... The staff here is wonderful. They give very clear instructions, are very caring and kind, and even seemed to have taken my suggestions from the last feedback about putting a clear check-in sign up over one window and having a designated spot for one person at a time to self swab outdoors! Best of all, both times I've gotten (thankfully negative) results back within only 24 hours or even less! Will definitely come back here when I want to visit my friend again. And I will *only" go here from now on! Lol! Great job!

I needed a rapid PCR COVID-19 test for international travel the next day. They got me test results within 2 hours. I would recommend them to anyone who needed this service. The technician administering the test was very pleasant and patient. I was able to setup the appointment very quickly on the phone and via text and was seen within an hour of initial contact. I can’t rate quality of care or cleanliness. No real care was administered and the test sample was collected in a drive-up fashion so I never saw any facility other than a parking lot. If I was going to ask them to improve anything, I’d like the test results to be formatted a little more professionally, with boxes that explicitly say “Patient Name” and “Date of Birth” instead of putting these two items next to each other and labeling it as “sample ID”. Also, names should be capitalized. However, they also provided a professional looking letter stating in very clear and simple terms the test results with all the required facts so this is just nit picking, especially since they accepted the test results at the foreign border with no issues.

Very Caring,The Staff Came in a Snow Storm,I drove in storm,Took me 40 min from Bristol to Horsham in the storm. On my way home,I took my time. They call you in 30 minutes,If you test positive. So I made sure I did 15-20 mph in Horsham,It Was Beautiful Scenery. I looked at my watch and 40 mins had passed by before I had to go on 95 towards Bristol. I Thank God For Them. It was the only day I had a vehicle. It cost $20 more for a Sunday. But when it comes to Saftey against this Pandemic, It's Important. Not Just for Myself but for my Granddaughter & her school,My daughter & son-in-law. Husband. I lost track of time. My severe lyme disease took on a New "Kicked My Butt" attack. On Thursday eve. I took on symptoms?Thought? I would Recommend This Location and The ease of the test. Care and Great Energy Vibe. To Everyone !!! I was In a Panic Worried, Because my system had been attacked and I wash my hands & sanitize.. I just needed To Be Sure. God Bless Them !

So easy! I'm not a techy person but the app downloaded ssll by itself and was easy to follow. I was able to schedule my test quickly. The day of my test, I parked my car, called the number and was taken care of in a matter of 5 minutes or less. The staff was extra safe staying a good distance 6ft. away from me while administered the test. They gave me the directions that I needed and answered my questions that I had. They said my results would be back in 2-3 days and I received them in 2 days. Which was important, to determine if I had to continue to quarantine with my family or not. I will be passing information about the MC Public Health services in Pottstown on to my friends and family. Thank You for being there for Me and taking care of me during these uncertain times.

This facility was a godsend - one of only two facilities in PA that provides rapid PCR (molecular) testing for international travel (only other is at PHL). 3 hr test result (PDF, via email) received as promised. 6 stars for Alisha at curbside, extremely efficient and friendly. RapiCare NEEDS to put up a bunch of other sites near other regional airports in PA, asap. Many international travelers (like me) begin their international travel at a domestic airport, and with complicated testing requirements changing daily, most int'l travelers will gladly pay for testing that is provided as promised - and on-time. You guys are awesome - SO much better service than assembly-line drive-thru pharmacies (especially wrt keeping the promised delivery time!!). Please consider opening other branches asap near Harrisburg/York. Keep up the fantastic service! And make sure you don't lose Alisha ; Thx, Steve

The Ardmore Covid-19 testing site in Montgomery County is providing superior service. Our tax dollars are being spent with the utmost attention to detail. There is plenty of space to social distance. The staff quickly knows who you are, so the computerized booking system must be excellent. They are efficient in confirming your details and you step seamlessly to the next window, where two people work together to provide you with an untouched test swab and provide clear instructions on what to do. They answered a question with a visual example and offered a brief context so that I could understand fully without having to linger. I have tried using a private practice before, but will never go back. Montgomery County excels at providing outstanding service. Thank you. I am grateful.

After getting sent home from work due to not passing a pre-screening for covid i had to find a clinic that offered non -rapid test. So I looked up clinics and this was the third one I called and I was successful. Despite having to drive a whole hour back to the area which I live I was happy to be able to get the test the same day. The two women and man who helped me were friendly and kind they had a sense of humor like me which was nice and made me feel very comfortable. If I ever need care from Urgent clinic again and I am by work I will surely choose this one. Thank you for a great first experience.

I drove by the place multiple times because there is no sign. The only sign is a church sign with Chinese writing on the bottom. I went in the building because my directions kept telling me to go to the church. The person taking the lab just so happen to walk by me and told me I was in the right place. I wasted a lot of time driving up and down the road trying to locate the facility. Then I was asked to provide my credit card information a second time, and this time in writing, even though I had paid online the day before. I still don’t know what the differences between the PCR test and the travel PCR test.

I have directed several people to the Montgomery County Covid testing sites. I feel that the the directions for self testing and the accuracy of this testing along with timely notification of the respults c cannot be beat. I am a nurse and am very picky about where I'd send people for a PCR test. I explain that the test is like a blood pressure- at the time of the test you tested negative/positive. A negative test does not mean to stop precautions. It's just one tool in the toolbox. I monitor the science and accuracy and this is the best hands down. The staff is wonderful and the facilities who give up space for the county testing sites are angels.

Great experience! We was rushing to get test done for work called a million places and check a million sites for the rapid version of covid test. Thanks be to God came across this site! scheduling the test was a breeze and the Alyssa (staff) 🙏🏻😩 we explained to her our situation (we was SUPER ANXIOUS not knowing if we would get results in time for work) she told us “don’t worry you’ll have it in 5 mins” and just that she came out with results! She was very gentle with us we could feel the warmth of her heart in her eyes it gave us a sense of ease! All around GREAT experience! We def recommend! You Guys Rock!

This was for COVID Testing for my daughter. All went fine with the testing but there was poor communication provided to her on how to access the results. The phone # we provided was mine. When I texted the 5 digit code to inquire about results there was no response. We didn’t receive any email alerts. I finally called Mako. The woman who answered the phone at Mako was not very helpful either. Finally we figured out that my daughter’s login process hadn’t been set up right, but like I said this all could have been better communicated and the woman at Mako could have looked up the records for us or walked us through access steps.

This was just a telemedicine visit with Dr. Dang. I am scheduled for Covid rapid test tomorrow because I have cold symptoms. When I called AFC they were quick to advise how to get a Covid test asap. Their instructions for a telemedicine visit and scheduling the test were very good. I have been to AFC a few times and have always been more than satisfied with treatment there and have always felt like I was in good hands. Dr. Dang is an excellent Provider, with a wonderful bedside manner and he is very professional. If I wasn’t already more than satisfied with my primary care doctor, I would try to have Dr. Dang as my PCP😊

Absolute best place to go for covid testing. Free is a big perk but on top of that it is super fast and they have the fastest turn around time. CVS and Walgreens are a joke compared to the pottstown Montgomery county testing site. Easy same day testing no need to book 48-72 hours in advance and the longest we have ever waited is 20 minutes and that was with a long line right after the holidays. Other places we know we will have to wait at least 45 minutes and it will take at least 5-10 minutes just for paperwork. Whoever is running and organizing this site way to go! You are awesome!

This was our second time coming to Rapicare for Covid tests needed to travel to the Maldives this weekend. Alyssa met us in the parking lot as soon as we pulled in, took our information, and went inside for the testing supplies. She’s super friendly and efficient! All four of us received our tests in less than 10 minutes, and results came back later that evening. By far, this is the quickest turnaround time for PCR testing. The lab reports were emailed this morning when promised. All in all, I’m highly satisfied with the care we’ve received from Rapicare. Highly recommend for anyone needing a test for international travel.

The testing process went very smoothly. However we are concerned for the safety of the technician who collected the samples. Although people being tested did their own nasal swabbing. The technician held the tubes and allowed the people being tested to slide the swab into the tube. The technician was not wearing gloves to protect her self and when we noted that she simply said “I’m OK”. We are two retired physicians Familiar with good laboratory and clinical practice. Gloves are used both to protect patients and to protect laboratory workers. We strongly suggest that the technician collecting the samples be trained to use gloves during her work.

The appointment was easy to schedule and I appreciated the follow-up confirmation and reminder. The line of people waiting to be tested made for a little bit of a wait, but I understood because there are many people who require testing. Everything was clearly marked for social distancing and verbal reminders were given to everyone to adhere to social distancing by standing on the next X. The staff was very efficient, courteous, and helpful. Results were sent within the time specifications given and a follow-up email was sent to make sure the test results were received. Very satisfied with the entire experience. Thank you!

I needed a COVID-19 Rapid Test to return to work from being out-of-state. It was hard to find a location and to also find a location where the cost was not extremely high. Liberty Urgent Care was recommended to me, and the cost was much more affordable since I was paying out-of-pocket. The person that waited on me was pleasant and courteous and the test was done very timely, just waiting a short time for the person in front of me. I also requested that my results be emailed to me, and they were sent within an hour. I was very impressed!

Needed a covid test for travel. This place was the only one I could find that allowed me to make an appointment and guaranteed results in 24 hours. Waited in my car for less than a minute before a very bubbly and friendly employee greeted me. Process took 5 mins. It was so simple, I initially questioned the authenticity of it. I received my results in less than 24 hours and was able to board my plane! Highly recommend! It was worth the hour drive to this location. Will be using again for upcoming travel and have already recommended to others traveling!!

Outdoor Montgomery County Covid testing site was very efficient. Easy to schedule an appointment and register online, next day appointments every 2 minutes so lots of availability, clear instructions, adequate parking and testing is outdoors so it is safe. You park, walk up to check in, get your swab, step aside for a self administered nasal swab, return the swab for processing and leave with instructions for what to do while waiting for test results, which will be available to in 2 - 3 days via text. Thank you to the Montgomery County Health Department for such an efficient system.

My first experience at a test site that wasn’t a doctor’s office. My husband and I had appointments (made easily online the night before) whereas my sister was a walk in during a lunch hour on a Monday and her wait was possibly even shorter than ours. An hour all in. Dress warmly as you are outdoors for most of it. Testing site is a trailer in parking lot near Ambler Y outdoor pool. Wonderful service and peace of mind. Also free. The people who work here are my heroes. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment today.

Lab Testing in Pennsylvania

Lab tests gather samples of your blood, urine, saliva, and other biological secretions, which are then evaluated in a lab to assist doctors in diagnosing and treating specific health disorders. Lab tests can be used for a variety of purposes, including diagnosing an illness, detecting changes in an existing condition, and assessing how your body responds to a therapy. They can also be used to track the progression of an illness or a group of disorders.

If your healthcare provider is unable to diagnose your condition decisively or if you are experiencing a variety of symptoms that could indicate any number of disorders, he or she may prescribe a lab test. Lab tests may be conducted to see how you're responding to a drug or to see if you're at risk for certain diseases.

Some lab tests require no preparation at all, while others may require you to fast for eight to twelve hours prior to the test in order to avoid particular foods and beverages giving erroneous findings. For several hours or days before your lab test, your healthcare professional may urge you to stop smoking, exercising, and taking certain medications and nutritional supplements.

To avoid erroneous findings and several trips to the lab for additional testing, ask your doctor for specific recommendations to follow before your lab test.To avoid erroneous findings and several trips to the lab for additional testing, ask your doctor for specific recommendations to follow before your lab test.

During a blood test, the lab technician may use a needle to draw blood from your arm or prick your finger to collect a small sample of blood. During a urine test, your provider will instruct you to go to the restroom and urinate in a sterile cup, then place your sample on a shelf where it can be picked up and processed by a lab worker. The lab testing facility's personnel will show you how to execute each sort of test.

Following the receipt of your test results, your doctor may call you to discuss them or to schedule an appointment. Your doctor will explain your results to you and, if required, discuss treatment choices with you.

  • Does insurance cover lab testing?

    Many health insurance plans will pay for lab tests that your doctor deems medically essential based on your condition. Contacting your insurance provider directly or asking the lab test provider to check your insurance benefits and verify the pricing is the best approach to find out if your health plan covers lab testing.

  • How long does it take to get lab test results in Pennsylvania?

    Depending on the type of test performed, lab staff productivity, and your doctor's availability, lab test results may be available in minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Some Pennsylvania lab test providers allow you to see your findings as soon as they become available online, while others require you to wait for a response from your doctor. Your doctor or the lab provider can offer you a more precise estimate of when you will receive your lab test results.

  • What is a routine lab test?

    Your red and white blood cell count may be checked as part of a standard lab test to see if you have anemia, a blood infection, or blood cancer. It may also assess the health of your organs, such as your heart, kidneys, and liver, as well as test fat levels in your blood to assess your risk of heart disease. Your healthcare professional will be able to tell you exactly what a normal Pennsylvania lab test comprises.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    STDs such as syphilis, HIV, hepatitis C, and herpes can all be identified by a blood test. Your doctor may request that you have your blood drawn and sent to a lab, or that you undergo STD screening at a lab test provider. Depending on the Pennsylvania lab test provider you work with, STD test results can arrive in minutes, days, or weeks.

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

    Some lab test providers demand a doctor's reference before doing specific tests, while others do not. The advantage of seeing a doctor before receiving a lab test is that you can determine whether or not a test is necessary based on your symptoms and a physical examination. A doctor can also assist in determining which tests are required.

  • Should I try at-home lab testing?

    At-home lab testing has several advantages, including privacy, convenience, and accuracy. However, your health insurance plan may not cover some at-home lab testing services. Additional lab testing may be requested by some healthcare practitioners to confirm their diagnosis of certain health issues. Inquire with your doctor about whether at-home lab testing is recommended for you based on your specific health circumstances.
