Lab tests near me
in Arlington, MA

I went for a COVID test today, August 30. From the time I arrived until the actual test itself was approximately 1 hour. The staff was very nice and efficient. Ann did the actual testing and was so kind and compassionate. When she was done she actually said 'hope you feel better'. It may not seem like much, but to me it means a lot when someone actually cares. A few kind words go such a long way and really mean a great deal when you are not feeling well. I highly recommend this location and staff!

I was seen almost immediately. I had an unstoppable cough and just wanted relief. The doctor insisted i have a chest x-ray and she found a spot on my lungs that could be pneumonia. She prescribed an antibiotic and explained to me clearly the difficulty to really know that the antibiotics would work, given that it might be caused by a virus. Luckily for me the antibiotics worked. I had a great experience in that I felt my condition was being carefully considered and the choices understood. The x-ray technician was very friendly and helpful when I couldn't unclasp my necklace. All-in-all I highly recommend this team of doctors and technicians.

My review is for telemedicine though I felt they were helpful when I visited the urgent care a few times. I had been prescribed many antibiotics before with Reliant and other telemedicine Teladoc. Azithromycin, Cipro could not cure my infection. Despite people would not believe it if I had throat infection or not, Teladoc gave me Keflex and it helped me but it did not cure me completely. Finally, Reliant prescribed me Bactrim for an insect bite on my spine which was not that bad but I insisted. Lucky for me. Despite Bactrim and Cipro are not good for my kidneys, Bactrim has cured my throat after 7 days. I am not planning to take Bactrim again in the future, hope I will not get infected again. I still gargle with saltwater too.
