What our patients are saying
The location is easy to access. Came in about 10 mins before the appointment. Only a few cars. Fill in the form the night before. Simple instructions. The nurse is friendly and polite. Wait only a few minutes to Zoom talk to the Dr. That’s it! Done!5 stars for sure! I received excellent service at the Los Angeles site and making appt online was fast and easy. No long lines and no excessive waiting time. Very convenient location on Pico Blvd with ample parking.Have had other tests with other facilities and they were unorganized and I had to wait for a very long time. None of that here! This was the BEST covid testing experience by far!! Thank you so much!
I was really nervous about going to this site in LA because I had been turned down by 3 other places today! I have been feeling really sick, headache, fever, aches and the last thing I wanted to do was drive around looking for a testing site that would take me today. Super easy process. . The people I talked to that were working the site were sure nice… definitely recommend this place. 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.
