What our patients are saying

I’ll give this place a 5 star (sweetwater RD, San Diego) because Ali who assisted us during our visit was excellent! He explained and answered all the questions we’ve asked with a smile (though he had mask on you can tell that he is glad that he was there to help us).

Janine Chavez

Very happy with this testing site and the employees there. The young man who was actually outside and administering the tests was so kind and extremely helpful and informative as far as letting each one of us know how things worked and walking us through each process ,which made it all go so smoothly . He was so efficient, and the doctor we had to speak to was equally as efficient as well as informative and kind . I highly recommend this testing site

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.
