We did curbside for a Covid test, we had to wait an hour or 2. Have to be patient in these times, all of the staff were great, attentive and professional! Waiting for the test results and got prescriptions to aid my breathing! So glad we can keep people out of ER and hospital! To All Health Care workers, Thank you!

Dr. Fredriech was so patient and kind, as was the entire staff. He was very thorough asking lots of questions during my exam. The tests for the flu were negative but the covid test was positive. He prescribed medications and lots of bed rest. He’s a wonderful doctor and with respect for his patients.

Had to wait outside in car 100 degrees. Must be somewhere inside where people waiting to be covid tested can wait.

I went for a COVID test and the ladies who came out to see me (not sure who they were nurses, PA, were all very sweet. I felt bad because it was raining and I offered to go sit on their chairs on the walkway so they wouldn’t have to stand in the rain, but they declined. I appreciated them very much!

This was one of my best experiences at an urgent care. It was a Covid test for my son and we were both very scared but Shebo and Nate tended to my son as if he were their own. It’s a 30 minute drive for me but I will make that drive any time.

- Verified patient on 10/27

Staff is usually always wonderful, BUT this particular visit, we saw Ben, APRN. His bedside manner and demeanor was horrible once he knew my daughter had not yet had the Covid vaccine. The whole visit became about Covid and how she most likely has it. I truly felt she most likely had a sinus infection or a damn head cold - my main concern was if she could travel on a plane the next day. I worry about ear drums. He did not even look in her nose. Briefly looked in her ears and throat. Offered a written antibiotics but stated he didn’t feel it was necessary and again pushed Covid testing. I said can you get me results today so I can leave town tomorrow, and he said no, results take a few days. I am a Renown employee and am well educated on Covid and to be treated with such disregard by a physician was truly disappointing. Not everyone has Covid!!! Yes people who are and are not vaccinated can still get Covid but we can all still get just a damn head cold. I feel like my daughters visit was a waste of time and her care was less than acceptable! Truly disappointed in this physician and he does not represent “we care” very well for Renown. And for the record, I did take her home and give her 2 Covid tests - BOTH WERE NEGATIVE!

I scheduled an appointment the same day to get a COVID test for my son. Everything was very easy. Once we arrived, we were greeted and checked in by friendly office staff. Waited in our car for a few minutes then was called to come in. We were then greeted by the nicest nurse practitioner (unfortunately I can’t remember her name!) who took my sons vitals, collected symptom info. and administered the nasal swab test. She finished with us and said that the doctor will be right in to talk to my son and further evaluate him (check, ears, eyes, throat, lungs, etc.) Within a few minutes, AJ, the doctor, came in and was just great! My 15-year old son said he was “cool”. His bedside manner was the best I’ve seen in a long time. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I would highly recommend this urgent care facility to everyone I know!

Everything was great! No phone number on the out side to call for covid test that my doctor told me to get so had to go inside and wait in line and my test results came back today as possitive.. if someone has all ready had a do appointment on Zoom why should you go inside and risk everyone else getting it? And I was seen by another doctor just to get the test.. everything else was fine and fast and friendly... also I tried to call and get a copy of my results for my job and no one has called me back and I need them please😊

- Verified patient on 8/13

I was told I needed to get a COVID test. But was not given the option for a rapid test. Which would have been beneficial so I could return to work.

- Verified patient on 8/5

Very good. Arrived at 9am w/o appt. Was sign in by nurse at front door, asked to wait in car until someone called me. Waited 10 minutes, called, met medical assistant at door, escorted back, took medical info, waited 5 minutes for nurse practitioner to examine me. They did Strep test (-) and Covid test wait 48 to 72 hours. Gave me instructions for home care and was out by 10. Everyone was polite, and knowledgeable. Very happy with experience.

- Verified patient on 11/1

Checking in was very easy by Adrian. We saw the PA and got an exam. Got our covid test and were out in a hour. Very timely

- Verified patient on 11/25

I love the fact that the Dr. ask if I wanted a covid test and did not try to make me feel guilty when I said no thanks, I don’t have covid symptoms so no need for a test.

- Verified patient on 6/11

I needed a Covid test. I didn't want to wait any longer than necessary to get one so I signed up as a walk-in. My wait time was about an hour. It was totally worth the wait. I was tested and I was relieved. I'll get results in 48-72 hours. Thank you for very good service.

Tonopah COVID Testing & Rapid Testing

Types of COVID Tests

There are two types of coronavirus tests (COVID-19 tests) available, those that can test for a current infection (viral test) and those that can test for a past infection (antibody test).

Viral COVID testing can be done in a few different ways, the most common being nose swabs, but saliva tests are becoming more popular. Some tests are processed out on-site and can provide results in as little as 30 minutes. These are called rapid COVID tests. The majority of tests, on the other hand, are collected at the clinic on-site and then submitted to off-site labs for processing. Results can take up to 2-3 days to arrive.

Antibody testing looks for a past infection and may not reveal if you have an active COVID-19 infection because antibodies can take up to three weeks to form in your body. The presence of COVID antibodies may help to prevent you from becoming infected with the same virus again; but, because the clinical understanding of COVID-19 is still developing, it's unclear how long that protection will continue.

Who should get tested for current infection

The CDC currently defines four instances where COVID testing is recommended:

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea.
If you have been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19. Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. If you have been vaccinated, or tested positive in the past 3 months and not experiencing symptoms, you do not need to be tested.
If you are unvaccinated and participated in high-risk activities where distancing is not an option. This could include travel, large social or mass gatherings, crowded indoor settings, etc.
If you have been referred to get a COVID test by your healthcare provider or local health department.

How is testing done for COVID-19?

Most COVID tests are collected by a nasal swab. A member of the medical team puts a swab inside your nose for a few seconds on each side to collect the sample. After that, the samples are packaged according to CDC guidelines and tested on-site or transported to a facility for testing. The lab will test samples for the presence of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID infection and either your care provider or the lab will notify you with the results as soon as they are available.

PCR vs Antigen Testing

Viral COVID tests are available as molecular and antigen tests. The molecular test, also known as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, usually delivers results within a few days since most of these tests are sent to offsite labs for analysis. The average turnaround time for PCR test results is 48 hours, but in some instances may be significantly longer due to backlogs related to insufficient lab volume and capacity. Antigen tests are also known as rapid tests and have an average turnaround time of between 15 to 30 minutes.

Both PCR and rapid COVID tests can be used to test people exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, those who were close contacts to COVID-19, and those without COVID-19 symptoms who live or work in a high-risk setting (such as a nursing facility); or those individuals who are identified as part of outbreak detection and response. The rapid COVID test is also recommended for the screening of residents or healthcare workers at skilled nursing facilities along with a PCR confirmation, and for repeat screening for the early detection and prevention of outbreaks in congregate settings (such as schools, workplaces, and prisons).

COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. To reduce the risk of facing extra costs related to COVID testing, ask your primary care doctor to recommend a free COVID test site, and confirm there are no charges or fees for the test that are not covered by your insurance plan. Additionally, avoid getting a COVID test at a hospital or free-standing emergency room, as these facilities may charge fees for COVID testing and related services.

Where can I get a rapid COVID test in Tonopah?

Rapid testing—both PCR (molecular) and antigen tests—is offered through many Tonopah-area urgent care centers and physician offices, usually at an additional cost ranging from $50 up to $150 per test. Usually this will allow you to get results back in under an hour, and require advanced booking through the provider. However, if you can wait 24 hours for your results, many labs are turning around send-out lab tests in that time frame, which could save you some money.
How to make an appointment for COVID testing in Tonopah?
Same-day and next day appointments for COVID testing in Tonopah are bookable directly through Solv. Simply browse the list of healthcare providers conducting COVID tests above, find one with a “Book Online” button, and book a time that aligns with your schedule stating “COVID-19 Test” as your reason for visit.
Can I get tested for antibodies if I am sick with COVID-19 Tonopah?

An antibody test for COVID-19 might inform you if you previously had a coronavirus infection. Because it can take between 1–3 weeks after an infection for your body to develop these antibodies, an antibody test during an active infection would not be successful. To see if you are currently infected, you need a viral test.
Do I need a COVID test if I have been vaccinated?
Even if you have been fully vaccinated, if you have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, experts believe that you should be tested yourself, particularly if you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms commonly aligned with the coronavirus.
How long does COVID testing take?
Getting a COVID test is quick. Most tests are done with a nasal swab, which takes less than a minute to swab both nostrils. Depending on where you get your COVID test, this means you could be in and out of the testing site in as little as 10-15 minutes. During busy times—particularly around holidays—testing sites may be busier than usual and wait times may be longer.
How long does it take to get COVID test results in Tonopah?

Most labs are returning send-out molecular (PCR) COVID test results within 24-48 hours of the test. Some sites take longer, so call and ask if the reason for the test is proof for travel. Rapid COVID tests are processed on-site and are able to deliver results in under an hour, sometimes in as little as 15 min.
Do COVID tests detect the Delta variant and Omicron variant?
Regular COVID tests are able to detect both the Delta variant and Omicron variant in that they can determine whether or not you have the coronavirus. However, they can't tell which variation is involved. That would necessitate genomic sequencing, which is a different process from regular virus testing that not all labs can undertake. Sequencing is uncommon and can cost up to $100 per test. Since the treatment is the same for any variant, it is not clinically useful to an individual patient to know whether the infection was caused by a variant or not.
