What our patients are saying
Phenomenal testing site in Bakersfield. Went there, was fast, the process took a few minutes to complete and I got my results within 16 hours as promised. Without these guys, I would have missed my trip to Korea because CVS took longer than the 2 days they supposedly promised. Also, it took 2 minutes to book over the phone. They offer free COVID tests for the insured and it shows up too high on the list when you do a quick Google search, but it’s all true. If you’re insured, you get a free test that’s travel readySuper fastNo lines
So efficient
After I signed up the night before…they sent my QR Code for my appt to check in. Everything was smooth
Fast result as promised, I think I got it in less than 12 hours. It’s one of the few places that would put a QR code AND passport number to meet some international travel requirements, and they do it quickly! A little trouble to get to customer service but once I got a hold of someone, they were all very friendly and niceFrequently 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.
