ABOUT COVID-19 TESTING
Multiple test types for accurate diagnosis, travel clearance, and peace of mind
COVID testing provides a quick and convenient way to determine if you've contracted COVID-19. At Mederi Urgent Care in the Melrose Hill neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, the team of primary care physicians offers several types of COVID testing, including molecular tests and antigen tests.
COVID testing refers to several lab procedures that screen for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). COVID-19 is a contagious and potentially serious upper respiratory infection that causes various symptoms, including congestion, dry cough, and difficulty breathing. Undergoing a COVID test can confirm if you're contagious and determine the best treatment approach.
Whether you have symptoms, have been exposed to COVID-19, need testing for travel, or require clearance for work or school, our team provides the appropriate testing with results delivered quickly and reliably.

HOW COVID TESTING WORKS
Choose Your Test
Based on your needs—symptom diagnosis, travel requirements, or exposure screening—your provider recommends the most appropriate test: PCR for highest accuracy, rapid antigen for quick results, or antibody testing for past infection.
Quick Sample Collection
Sample collection is fast and simple, usually a nasal swab or saliva sample. The process takes just minutes and is pain-free. Our experienced staff ensures comfortable, proper sample collection for accurate results.
Fast Results
Rapid antigen tests provide results in 15-30 minutes. PCR tests typically return results within 24-48 hours. We notify you promptly and provide documentation for travel, work, or school as needed.

Above-and-beyond care during a tough visit
MARTHA D.
I was very fortunate to stumble across this gem of an urgent care facility. Extremely clean, tidy and staffed with user-friendly, proffessional receptionist Lauren/nurse-xray tech Landon and attending provider Lily. All three set me at ease and were wonders at their jobs. Dr. Lily was bang-on in her assessment of my fast moving foot infection, and quickly directed me to where I needed to get optimal treatment. Landon sent my x-rays where they needed to be asap. Lauren was an absolute sweetheart in keeping the waiting area moving smoothly as well as keeping incoming patients (myself included!!) informed and calm. This is the place to be, my friends, when a medical issue enters your life! Thank you Dr. Lily, Landon and Lauren big time!
Thoughtful care without the usual rush
