I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

Recent Lab Tests Reviews (20)

What troopers to be out in the pouring rain administering these tests! The staff is super friendly and professional. What a quick and comfortable experience!

- Verified patient on 1/22

The test itself went very smoothly. However I waited 45 minutes before I was told I would have to fill out online paperwork again.

- Verified patient on 4/23

The actual experience was great, my feedback is for Solv. Two recommendations: (1) add the price of the test services to the website and appointment confirmation email (2) add some instructions to the check in screen “park in a spot close to the testing site and wait in your car until someone comes to check you in.”

- Verified patient on 2/15

My first COVID test experience and all of my concerns were allayed by a very professional and courteous staff.

- Verified patient on 4/5

Quick and informative response to email inquiries, relatively easy to schedule a test, quick and thorough testing. They could not have been more helpful.

- Verified patient on 6/10

It could not have been easier to book my appointment online and then drive right up and receive immediate service. Everyone was very nice and were quick and efficient with my rapid test.

- Verified patient on 2/19

CVS canceled my 11a appointment at 9a the same morning. I needed a Rapid Test for a flight leaving in less than 24 hours. They didn't have any options, nor did they care to assist in finding another provider. I was so glad to find SLO Covid Center, I got an appointment that morning. They were kind, efficient and cost less!

- Verified patient on 4/22

Very smart abs well organized process. Very little human interaction as they come to you in your car. The test was not uncomfortable in the least! If if doubt if you need a test go get it. Ut takes more time driving there than the test itself!

- Verified patient on 5/20

Outstanding! This place looks new to SLO so I wasn’t sure whether to book an appointment here but I’m so glad I did. Efficient, friendly, superb staff. Drive up testing in your car, on-line booking of appointments and forms are easily done on your phone. The staff even gave me a jump start when my car battery died! Recommend 110%.

- Verified patient on 1/30

I went in for the Covid test and they were prompt and was a very quick stop for me. I like the online pre check-in and checking process.

- Verified patient on 3/19

May God bless the assistant that performed my test. He was caring and compassionate. I was nervous, but he was gentle and the experience was pain free. 5 thumbs up.

- Verified patient on 2/20

Quick, took all of 5 minutes from the time I pulled up took the test and left. Staff was really nice as well

- Verified patient on 2/10

Seamless. I loved being able to fill out everything on my phone in advance of my appointment. No discomfort at all and love the percentage of accuracy the PCR test has that you are using.

- Verified patient on 1/26

Very patient and kind staff, from the office staff answering questions on the telephone to to folks performing these tests. You have got a great staff! Please stay safe and well!

- Verified patient on 2/10

I tested positive today , my wife tested at this site and had a negative test , with him testing positive should she get another test ?

- Verified patient on 3/26

Only problem was no one told me there was $125 out of pocket cost fir the rapid test. So I had to switch to the standard with wait time. Cost should show on web page.

- Verified patient on 1/21

It was fast and easy took no more then 10 min to receive my results with the Rapid test

- Verified patient on 2/18

Everything was 5 star. The “staff” was working very hard to accommodate many people waiting in cars; they were polite, friendly and professional. I had an appointment, however, people were taken in the order of when they arrived which was just fine with me. I think the staff did an excellent job with many people, each one with different needs. I was there to get a Covid test for a surgical procedure this Saturday.

- Verified patient on 3/23

This was a very quick and easy experience. The nurses and assistants were professional, attentive, caring, gentle, and reassuring. We’re glad we chose to get tested and especially at this location. Thank you to these wonderful men and women.

- Verified patient on 1/24

Quick. Easy. No fuss. They explain what they are doing prior to sticking the swab in your nose. I’d recommend - will return to this sight for my next test.

- Verified patient on 2/3

San Luis Obispo Lab Tests

Lab tests take samples of your blood, urine, saliva, and other bodily secretions, which are then analyzed in a lab to help doctors diagnose and treat certain illnesses. Lab tests can be used to diagnose an illness, detect changes in an existing condition, and monitor how your body responds to a therapy, among other things. They can also be used to monitor the progression of a disease or a set of diseases.

If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test. To see how you're responding to a drug or to check if you're at risk for certain diseases, lab tests may be performed.If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test. To see how you're responding to a drug or to check if you're at risk for certain diseases, lab tests may be performed.

Some lab tests require no preparation at all, while others may require you to fast for eight to twelve hours before the test in order to avoid erroneous results from certain meals and beverages. Your healthcare provider may advise you to cease smoking, exercising, and taking certain medications and nutritional supplements for many hours or days before your blood test.

Before your lab test, ask your doctor for precise instructions to follow to minimize erroneous results and multiple trips to the lab for additional testing.

A lab worker may use a needle to draw blood from your arm or prick your finger to collect a small sample of blood during a blood test. During a urine test, your physician will ask you to go to the restroom and urinate in a sterile cup, then set your sample on a shelf where a lab technician can pick it up and process it. The personnel at the lab testing facility will demonstrate how to do each type of test.

Lab Tests FAQs

  • Where should I get a lab test in San Luis Obispo?

    Doctors commonly order lab tests and can refer you to one or more reputable lab test centers in your area. Lab tests can be performed in San Luis Obispo urgent care centers, hospitals, and walk-in clinics that specialize in lab testing. Your healthcare practitioner can supply you with a list of lab test providers, or you can use Solv to see what's available in your area.

  • How much do lab tests cost?

    The cost of a lab test is determined by several factors, including the type of test, your location, whether you have insurance, and the fees charged by the lab test provider. Many health insurance providers will cover the cost of lab testing in part or in full. Those who do not have insurance, on the other hand, will almost certainly face higher costs.

  • Does insurance cover lab testing?

  • How long does it take to get lab test results in San Luis Obispo?

    Lab test results may be available in minutes, hours, days, or weeks, depending on the type of test performed, lab staff productivity, and your doctor's availability. Some lab test providers let you see your results as soon as they're available online, while others need you to wait for your doctor's answer. Your doctor or the lab provider can give you a more accurate estimate of when your lab test results will arrive.

  • What is a routine lab test?

    A basic lab test may evaluate your red and white blood cell counts to discover if you have anemia, a blood infection, or blood cancer. It may also test fat levels in your blood to determine your risk of heart disease and examine the health of your organs, such as your heart, kidneys, and liver. Your healthcare provider will be able to explain what a typical lab test entails.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    A blood test can identify STDs such as syphilis, HIV, hepatitis C, and herpes. Your doctor may order that blood be collected and submitted to a lab, or that you undergo STD testing at a lab test provider. STD test results might arrive in minutes, days, or weeks, depending on the lab test company you work with.

  • Do I need to see a doctor before getting a lab test?

    Before performing specific tests, some lab test providers require a doctor's referral, while others do not. The benefit of seeing a doctor before getting a lab test is that you can assess whether or not you need one based on your symptoms and a physical examination. A doctor can also help you decide which tests are necessary.

  • How can I book a lab test on Solv?

    On our home page, please specify the type of lab service you desire, as well as your location and state. Solv will give you with a list of lab test providers in your area, as well as their contact information, so you can make an appointment right immediately.

  • How long does getting a lab test take?

    The majority of lab tests are completed in a matter of minutes, but certain providers may have extensive wait times that require you to spend up to an hour in the lab. To limit the amount of time you spend waiting for your lab test, schedule an appointment with Solv ahead of time.

  • Should I try at-home lab testing?

    Privacy, convenience, and accuracy are all advantages of at-home lab testing. Some at-home lab testing services, however, may not be covered by your health insurance plan. Some healthcare practitioners may seek additional lab tests to corroborate their diagnosis of specific health concerns. Consult your doctor to see if at-home lab testing is appropriate for you, given your unique health situation.Privacy, convenience, and accuracy are all advantages of at-home lab testing.
