We have expanded our capacity to evaluate patients for COVID-19.

Reasons for testing might include:

  • A recent cough, fever or loss of smell
  • Recent exposure to someone with COVID-19
  • A scheduled dental or surgical procedure
  • A wedding, funeral or family gathering
  • A sick or elderly relative
  • Recent or planned travel
  • Asthma or allergy symptoms
  • Planned return to work

A negative test means that you were well at the time of testing, but it does not protect you from future infection. You must continue to follow CDC guidelines for social distancing, wearing a mask in public, and frequent hand sanitizing. We do not recommend testing those who have clinically obvious symptoms of COVID-19 such as a high fever and cough. We would prefer that the sick person isolate and recover at home, but send household members and other recent contacts for testing.

Scheduling

We will try to schedule you within one business day, or schedule testing 3-4 days before any event, trip or procedure.

Registration

  • We will send you a link to our Phreesia portal before the visit.
