CONFIRMATORY TESTING NOW AVAILABLE


1st Class urgent care can now provide Covid-19 testing for those experiencing coronavirus-like symptoms as well as those without symptoms who have specific indications for testing. We are currently offering 3 tpes of tests; two confirmatory tests (either RT-PCR test which takes about 48-72hrs) or the 15 minute Rapid Antigen test and Antibody tests.

Just like other diagnostic tests our providers will review your history, current symptoms and perform an examination before ordering the test.

You could also come in if you need a negative result to return back to work.

Who can be tested ?

Anyone exhibiting symptoms consistent with COVID–19 , could be tested . You should discuss testing with your providers. You may need to be tested before undergoing elective procedure at surgical centers. People who are immunocompromised or older adults may be at higher risk for serious complications from COVID-19.

What should you expect with Covid–19 test?

Our providers or trained personnel will put on PPE to collect samples , nasopharyngeal swab or antibody/ finger prick test. Samples are tested within our laboratory and you will get the result back in 30 minutes.

What to bring ?

Bring your drivers license and insurance card. For self pay – cost is 150 dollars for the exam plus 100 dollars for the lab.

Our tests are FDA‘s Emergency Use Authorized.


Types of Tests

There are two different types of tests – diagnostic tests and antibody tests.

A diagnostic test can show if you have an active coronavirus infection and should take steps to quarantine or isolate yourself from others. Currently there are two types of diagnostic tests which detect the virus – molecular tests, such as RT-PCR tests, that detect the virus’s genetic material, and antigen tests that detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus.

An antibody test looks for antibodies that are made by your immune system in response to a threat, such as a specific virus. Antibodies can help fight infections. Antibodies can take several days or weeks to develop after you have an infection and may stay in your blood for several weeks or more after recovery. Because of this, antibody tests should not be used to diagnose an active coronavirus infection. At this time researchers do not know if the presence of antibodies means that you are immune to the coronavirus in the future.

We want you to get out there and play, but we also want to make sure you reduce the risk of injury.

Routine Physician Care

A primary care physician or family doctor is a vital part of individual and family healthcare. The primary care physician is the first line of defense, having access to the patient’s full medical history and a standing relationship with the patient. From primary care, patients may be referred to specialists, hospitals, or rehabilitation clinics. For patients with chronic medical conditions, the primary physician plays an especially important role in monitoring and managing care. If you need a primary care physician for yourself or your family, please contact 1st Class Urgent Care

  • WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT US

    I felt comfortable with doctor and staff. They were very thorough and timely with test. The Facility was very clear and up to date.

    Maxie T.,
    This Facilitiy made me feel at ease

  • WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT US

    I visited the clinic 30 minutes before they closed.... expecting to be rushed thru the system with less than friendly service. Much to my surprise, the front desk who took my initial info, the nurse who took my vitals and the doctor who treated me were each friendly, concerned and very professional. I never felt rushed. I was confident in the doctor's diagnosis. It's been a few days and I feel better already. I would recommend this clinic to my friends.

    Linda P.,
    Professionals..All the way!!
