Paid 140 dollars BEFORE I was seen (did it because I'm trying to get a DIAGNOSIS) to be told to go to the hospital in the end. Then I don't get a refund? All you guys did was press on my stomach and give me water for the urine sample that didn't happen. Are we serious here?

Very nice staff. They care & respect each patient with no discrimination. It was a fast visit, I just wanted a PCR test for work and they were there to help me! When first I read the reviews I hesitated little bit, but It was close to where I was and more convenient. I highly recommend this location because of its caring kind staff! Thank you!

My experience here today was great - I arrived at 11:30am on Saturday morning and only had 1 person ahead of me so my wait was less than 10 mins. I also lost my voice and they were understanding, and had me come inside to talk through my symptoms. I got rapid testing for covid, flu, and strep and had results and prescriptions and was on my way within 30 mins. They were very nice and helpful!

Questions & Answers

What types of COVID-19 testing does MedExpress offer?

MedExpress Urgent Care (Owner) | Dec 27, 2020

MedExpress is offering COVID-19 evaluations and testing at designated centers to help support our local communities' health care needs amid the pandemic. In order to ensure individuals receive the highest-quality care and treatment, all individuals seeking care at MedExpress for known or suspected COVID-19 cases will receive an examination by a MedExpress health care professional who will determine if testing is needed and which testing method may be most appropriate, including rapid antigen and laboratory send-out PCR COVID-19 testing. Please note that for the most accurate COVID-19 test results, the CDC and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommend that individuals who are not showing symptoms, but who have had close contact with an individual who has tested positively for COVID-19, wait five to seven days after the known exposure to get a COVID-19 test. Additionally, the CDC and AAFP recommend self-quarantining for 14 days after a known exposure to COVID-19, even if no symptoms are present.
