What is diagnostic testing?

Diagnostic testing analyzes samples of bodily fluids, like blood and saliva, to identify underlying health problems. It’s quick, minimally invasive, and presents few risks.

The Express Urgent Care team offers diagnostic testing onsite. Patients can schedule routine blood work or get a throat swab without having to see a specialist or visit a separate lab facility.

What are some examples of diagnostic testing?

The Express Urgent Care team offers several types of diagnostic testing, including:

  • Blood work
    Blood work analyzes a sample of your blood to assess the levels of certain vitamins, minerals, proteins, and chemicals. Common medical conditions diagnosed through blood work include high cholesterol and hormone imbalances like low testosterone.
  • COVID-19 testing
    During a COVID-19 test, your Express Urgent Care provider collects a nose or throat swab and sends it to a lab for analysis. A positive result means you have COVID-19, while a negative result means you don’t.
  • Strep throat testing
    A strep throat test is similar to a COVID-19 test. Your Express Urgent Care provider collects a swab from the back of your throat and analyzes it for the presence of streptococcus pyogenes, a type of contagious bacteria.
  • Glucose (blood sugar) testing
    A blood glucose or A1C test measures your average blood sugar. Higher than average blood sugar levels indicate prediabetes or diabetes, a group of diseases that affect your pancreas’ ability to keep your blood sugar within the healthy range.
  • Pregnancy testing
    If you’re trying to start a family, the Express Urgent Care team can determine if you’re pregnant. There are several types of in-office pregnancy tests. These tests analyze your blood for specific hormones that indicate pregnancy.
  • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) testing
    This test uses a throat or nasal swab to check for the presence of RSV, a highly contagious respiratory virus. Telltale signs of RSV include a runny nose, fever, cough, and lack of appetite.
  • Flu and Mono testing
    Both flu and mono can cause similar symptoms like fever, sore throat, and fatigue. We can test for both of these to help you determine the cause of your illness.
  • Tuberculosis (TB) screening/PPD testing
    We offer TB screenings and PPD testing to help detect tuberculosis. If you’ve been exposed to TB or are required to have testing for work or school, we provide fast and accurate results.
  • STD/STI testing and exam
    Our team also provides testing for sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs/STIs), including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. Regular testing is crucial for your health and peace of mind.

How long does it take to get results from diagnostic testing?

The Express Urgent Care team offers quick turnaround times for diagnostic testing. In fact, most test results come back within 24-48 hours of the initial screening. Your provider will call and explain your results as soon as they’re available, then use the information to develop a personalized treatment plan.
