I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Labcorp for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

I am traveling this week and have a bad cough. I did not want to infect anyone. I was referred to Dr. Ang, and I was so glad I went to see her. She checked was very professional and lovely! My testing turned out to be all negative and I am not contagious. Thank you, Dr. Ang!
