What our patients are saying
I am beyond amazed at how quick and easy it was to get tested at their Long Beach site. Scheduling my appointment was easy as 1, 2 , 3. There was no line when I got there. The nurse was super friendly, as well as professional. All I needed was my insurance card and they took care of everything else. I had my results before I even got home! My whole family has Kaiser, I would go here first before even trying to go get tested at Kaiser ever again.Great staff running the testing site on Long Beach Blvd. They were very pleasant and able to deal with crowd control in a very professional manner! Overheard both staff speaking Spanish so bilingual English and Spanish speaking. Great job to the two staff on 12/21/2021If I could give this place 1000 stars I would. I am moving overseas by myself on Saturday (after my flight was literally moved today by the airline) and need a PCR test to go. I’m 21 years old and all of my money has been sucked up by the process of moving. I think I have like 10 bucks LOL. Shiva, the manager I spoke to, was so incredibly kind to approve me this time for the free PCR test!!! She is truly an angel sent from above, and without her I might not be able to get on the plane. Premium Health is truly a people oriented company and they care about their patients instead of seeing us as walking cash signs like most places. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏 10000/10 recommend!!!Frequently Asked Questions
Why is RT-PCR better than Rapid Antigen?
The RT-PCR test is processed at a high-complexity laboratory and is generally much more accurate than the Antigen test. The RT-PCR test recognizes the virus DNA itself, whereas the Antigen test recognizes the protein made by the virus. As such, the RT-PCR test is able to recognize the virus at a much earlier stage after exposure, whereas the Rapid Antigen test detects the presence of the virus at a later stage.
For patients that don’t have any symptoms and were exposed, we generally recommend the RT-PCR test.
What type of tests can I get?
We provide the RT-PCR test, which is the most accurate test and is accepted by most travel destinations.
We also provide Rapid Antigen tests, which provide speedy results but are less accurate than the RT-PCR tests.
