WHAT WE TEST

Five rapid tests, one short visit.

Same-visit results so you can decide what to do next — without losing a day to driving, waiting, or guessing.

i.

Strep Throat

Sore throat, painful swallowing, and fever? A quick throat swab tells us if it's strep so we can prescribe the right antibiotic during the same visit.

Results In

~10 minutes

ii.

Influenza (Flu)

Fever, body aches, fatigue, cough? A nasal swab confirms flu so we can prescribe antivirals if appropriate and help you isolate to protect your family.

Results In

~15 minutes

iii.

COVID-19

Cough, fever, fatigue, or known exposure? Rapid antigen testing gives us a clear answer so you know whether to isolate, alert contacts, and what care plan makes sense.

Results In

~15 minutes

iv.

RSV

Especially common in young kids and older adults. RSV testing helps us tell it apart from a routine cold and decide if closer monitoring or treatment is needed.

Results In

~15 minutes

v.

Mononucleosis (Mono)

Severe fatigue, sore throat, swollen glands? A finger-stick blood test helps confirm mono so we can guide you on activity restrictions and recovery.

Results In

~10 minutes

vi.

Pregnancy Test

Quick urine pregnancy testing with same-visit results. Confidential, judgment-free, and we can talk through what's next regardless of the outcome.

Results In

~5 minutes

WHEN YOU NEED MORE ACCURATE ANSWERS

HealthTracks PCR Testing

One swab tests for multiple respiratory pathogens at once — including those a rapid antigen test can miss. Sample collected on-site, results back in 1–2 days. More accurate than rapid testing when answers truly matter.

HOW IT WORKS

Most rapid-test visits take less than an hour.

Walk in, get tested, get a result, and leave with a plan — usually all in one short visit.

i.

Walk in & check in

Stop by 624 Charlevoix Avenue during open hours. Bring your insurance card and ID. Tell our front desk what you're feeling so we can get you back quickly.

Typical Time

5–10 minutes

ii.

Quick exam & swab

A provider asks about your symptoms and decides which rapid test makes sense. The swab itself takes seconds — usually a quick throat or nasal swab depending on the test.

Typical Time

10–15 minutes

iii.

Result & plan

Results come back in 5–15 minutes depending on the test. Your provider explains what they show and walks you through next steps — antibiotics, antivirals, isolation guidance, work or school notes, and follow-up if needed.

Typical Time

10–20 minutes

What to bring

  • A photo ID (driver's license is fine)
  • Your insurance card
  • List of current medications
  • Note: when you started feeling symptoms
  • If applicable: known exposures to illness
  • Work or school note request, if needed
WHY IT MATTERS

Three options. Only one gets you a real answer and a treatment plan.

Pharmacy tests, tele-doc visits, and walk-in clinics all sound similar. They aren't.

FEELING SICK?

Walk in. Get tested. Get a plan.

Don't spend the day guessing whether to isolate, take time off work, or start treatment. Walk in this morning and have answers by lunch.
