Sparkling Clean

Quest Diagnostics - 5448 Whittlesey Blvd, Columbus
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 Quest Lab Testing 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 was called immediately after check-in (didn't even sit down). Everyone, from the receptionist to the medical personnel, was courteous and professional. I am not exaggerating -- I've never encountered a medical provider as cheerful and optimistic as the young woman who treated me today (and I've worked with a lot of them). Absolutely recommend this place!

My roommate and I went and got tested for COVID today. The nurse was phenomenal and very good at her job. The PA we saw was outsanding. They all seemed to truly care and went above and beyond to talk with us and make us feel at ease. I highly recommend this place.

COVID-19 Testing FAQs

  • How much does COVID testing cost in Valley?

    In many cases, COVID testing can be free. Many state and local health departments continue to offer free testing to community residents as part of their response to the pandemic. In other cases, commercially insured patients, or those on Medicare or Medicaid, may receive testing at no out of pocket cost, or with a nominal office visit copay. For cash paying patients, or those that need rapid COVID testing which will deliver results in under an hour, COVID tests can range from $50 to $150 each. It is best to call your healthcare provider prior to getting tested to better understand the cost of the specific test you require.

  • Where can I get free COVID testing in Valley?

    COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. Check with your Valley-area health department as they are generally a good source for free COVID tests, or can at least point you in the right direction. Additionally, you can ask your primary care provider to recommend a free COVID test site.

  • Where can I get COVID testing in Valley?

    COVID testing is available at many outlets near Valley including urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care offices, health departments, and more. Different venues will have different types of tests available, many at different price points. Some testing sites are allowing walk-in patients, however, many are still requiring some degree of advance booking to control patient volume.

  • Where can I get a rapid COVID test in Valley?

    Rapid testing—both PCR (molecular) and antigen tests—is offered through many Valley-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 Valley?

    Same-day and next day appointments for COVID testing in Valley 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 Valley?

    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 Valley?

    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.

Recent COVID-19 Testing Reviews (20)

The experience was great. I am just unclear on why people are being charged for COVID testing if the test is required because of exposure and the person is exhibiting symptoms. This could deter people from being tested and COVID is still an issue. I acknowledge that there could be valid reasons for this that I do not know and it is definitely not the fault of the location that I visited.

Check in staff and my nurse was great that Dr I had today was less than kind and needs to work on her attitude and the way she comes across I understand during these times the Heath care staff deals with a lot but if the people checking you in and the nurses who are doing ALL the grunt work like getting the Covid test blood work etc and they can still be kind and have a good attitude so can the Dr who just has to come in and say self isolate until we get your results. I felt like I was a burden to the Dr vs a patient.

After reading a few reviews online, I was a little nervous but everyone was incredibly friendly and easy to work with! I know for a fact this is a very busy time for them (literally the highest COVID numbers ever) and I was blown away by how nice everyone was. I am an adult that just needed a Covid test and from my phone call to ask how to do it, to the front desk staff, to the staff in the back, they were all amazing. The nurse that did my swab noticed my nose was bleeding (of no fault of hers! It was the cold dry weather) and she was so sweet to make sure I was ok.

I’ve used this staff twice now for COVID testing. Both times, Staff was nice and efficient. When no slots were available, they recommended other possible options & told me best time to show up the next day to ensure a walk-in appointment. Went for rapid test, but they also did the PV? test to ensure not contagious.

Nurse and doctor are so friendly.. only thing the lady working the waiting room also very nice and helpful but several of the patients that came in did not have a mask on and asking to be Covid tested. I think it should be Inforced. The lady working the check in desk never ask them to put one on. Other than that it was perfect

Everyone was so caring and seemed genuinely concerned with my safety and well-being. While a positive Covid test was not on my agenda for today the staff made the process as painless and timely as possible. I was given clear instructions before hand about the charges and what to expect. Afterwards I was given specific directions on how to proceed with over the counter medication and vitamins.

This was my first time visiting Urgent Care and I must say the staff was wonderful. My son was a walk-in but was called in within less than an hour. I had to get him a COVID test because of exposure at school but thank God everything was fine. I can’t remember her name but the technician whom administered the test was so nice to listen to my concerns and vent about school opening. Ms. Chinule Efuribe was wonderful also. Thank you Urgent Care for your kindness and patience

Even though they are a COVID testing site, my son’s unrelated appt felt extremely safe. Staff was friendly and we did not feel rushed at the appointment. The NP was extremely thorough and took the time to talk to my son (not just me) to explain symptoms and actions.

My wife and I walked in for COVID tests, front desk lady was extremely polite and helpful. It was my wife’s second visit and my first. After a short wait we were taken back and had the most delightful experience(except for nose thing). We could not have been treated better!!

I had an amazing experience! Everything was pleasant. The wait time was long but I expected to wait due to Covid. The staff member that administered the test was very informative and gentle. Definitely will refer this facility to all of my peers that have kids or in need of Covid testing.

Wait time was incredibly long, but I was a walk-in, during one of the highest peaks of COVID transmission rates to date at a facility that is clearly drowning in patients. So, I get it. The staff is super nice and I commend their dedication and professionalism. Safe, clean environment and process for COVID testing.

Had Covid test at 2pm. Waited on call from dr. With results...no call. I called facility and was on hold until call was disconnected...texted back to the message that texted me about which testing cone to pull up to...no response...finally another patient pulled up next to me and staff came out to take care of them and I mentioned that dr. haven’t called. She said they will call shortly...it is an hour and half later and still no call as I am typing.

Had to wait over an hour past my scheduled time slot but the clinician was swamped with COVID testing and it was day after Christmas so i empathize with their situation. I do wish their was better means of handling rescheduling the time so you’re not online waiting for the virtual visit. The clinician was very supportive and knowledgeable, so visit went very efficiently and I was pleased with the service.

We ( my daughter, husband, and I) had an appointment scheduled. We came 15 minutes early like we were told. We were told since they only had1 room for COVID testing, we’d have to wait 45 minutes to an hour to be tested. We were asymptomatic. Just wanted to know if we possibly had it before we visited our elderly relatives. We ended up waiting over 2 hours! I believe they forgot we were in our car waiting!! All the previous patients sitting in lobby were gone. We were parked in front of the door. I had been an employee with Huntsville Hospital for years and trusted their care. This was unacceptable. If the appointment time has to be made, the wait should not be 2 hours. Ridiculous

I arrived at about 3:35 for a 3:50 COVID test. At about 5:15 or 5:20 a staff member approached my car to start the process. I had to fill out a paper in addition to all the info I had entered online. I was tested about 5:40 and told that I would get a phone call with all my test results in the morning, but the Rapid test results would be available on my patient portal in about 15 minutes. I went to the web site and could not find any information about a patient portal. Frustrated, I started reading emails and found one giving info about accessing the patient portal. When I was able to access it, No Results were available. At about 9:25 I received a text stating that my test results were available. The staff was professional and courteous throughout.

My daughter and I both went in for Covid tests and all of the staff was super nice! When we got our video chat with the nurse she was very helpful and answered all of our questions (daughter tested positive) and thoroughly explained things we had concerns about. I would definitely go back and also recommend Urgent Care for Children!

Hannah, CRNP was great and the MA was very nice also. The front desk clerk (Jasmine?) could use some communication skills. Walked in at 5:15pm, four people waiting in front of me. I was told that I couldn’t get a covid test because it was too late (almost insinuated that I leave) … wasn’t there for a covid test, just wanted to be seen. They closed at 8pm. At least two people were turned down to be seen after me… not sure why if they didn’t close until 8. As an affiliate employee of HH, I was confused by what was going on and why people were being turned away at such an early time. Maybe there was more behind the scenes that I didn’t see, I sure hope so.

I had spent a miserable night with vomiting and diarrhea and at age 71, in spite of having no fever or respiratory symptoms, I wanted to get a rapid COVID test. I was second in line for the day, the wait was minimal and RN Erica and CRNP Bettie Smith provided a prompt test (fortunately negative), a thorough explanation of the results and a prescription for my nausea. Fully recovered in a day.

Scheduled an appointment for 8:40am and it told me to arrive at 8:25am and check in so I did. I went inside and informed them I was there and they didn’t take me back until around 9:15am and other walk-ins were taken back before me so I was a little frustrated with that but the staffs friendliness made up for the long wait time. I was scared to get a Covid test because I still thought they went up into your brain with it and Heather was super nice and informed me that all they had to do was go in my nostrils and my anxiety went way down. She was kind and courteous and very efficient so I was stoked about that. Definitely the nicest nurse I’ve ever had. Dr Jill Howard was incredible and just as efficient and kind. Any other issues I have I will definitely be going to those guys! The fact that you can schedule an appointment via an app and then check in that way is another huge bonus and another reason why I would choose them over other businesses.

Valley 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
