Visit Health Urgent Care, Van Nuys - 14614 Victory Blvd
This my 1st time at this Urgent Care, and it will not be my last. My appt went very smooth, the receptionist was very welcoming, along with all the other girls, and the gentleman who took my chest x-rays. The doctor was very attentive and allowed me to explain my symptoms to her, and decided to do a couple tests to rule out pneumonia, also a streptococcus test, she's phenomenal literally. I Haven't been to an Urgent Care like this ever. I'm definitely returning. It's very clean. Lastly, I was actually seen at my appt time with no wait, which also won me Over. My visit was on 11/19/23 around 415pm, I think. Check-in was fast actually did everything online, which made everything much easier.

Everyone was very helpful. I booked the appointment the night before for 9 o’clock when they open. I got right in and Dr. Emanuel came in. He was very thorough and answered all my questions and prescribe medication for me. I have been to urgent care a few times before and everyone is always so wonderful. I would recommend urgent care. I have insurance that covers everything. That was not a worry for me! I had booked my appointment the night before online.

Service was great, but I can not get my results. When I clicked on the texted link, it took me to an app. I tried to download it, and it would not let me. I called the phone number as I was instructed to and no one answered. I sure would like my test results. If I cannot get them, I guess I’ll need to go somewhere else. I’m not happy.

Lab Tests FAQs

  • Where should I get a lab test in Santa Clarita?

    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 Santa Clarita 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. Contact lab test providers directly to confirm the cost of your lab test based on your health insurance benefits.

  • Does insurance cover lab testing?

    Many health insurance plans will cover lab tests that your doctor determines are medically necessary for your illness. The easiest way to find out if your health plan covers lab testing is to contact your insurance carrier directly or ask the lab test provider to check your insurance benefits and verify price.Many health insurance plans will cover lab tests that your doctor determines are medically necessary for your illness.

  • How long does it take to get lab test results in Santa Clarita?

    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.

Great! I was under time pressure for a COVID test. The vaccine is everywhere but testing remains elusive. The clinic hours accommodated my work schedule which other clinics don’t. The Walgreens and CVS websites were not user friendly to my age group (older). It really took the pressure off as I am beginning nursing school.

- Verified patient on 6/14

The Valencia AFC location was excellent. Nikki was amazing and thoughtful. Testing covid with a 5 year old was not complicated at all, Nikki made sure it was quick and efficient. Davy was also very help when I called to seek information as we were traveling to Hawaii and needed a test.

- Verified patient on 11/17

Overall great experience. Been there before. Wait time was a little long for an early saturday morning. Its a tad frustrating to check in and be there and have 3 people checked in online but not there and be stuck behind them. Additionaly, there should be a seperate area for covid tests as opposed to being lumped in with people that need to be seen or treated. Just a few thoughts on the wait experience. I do like the phone notification so you can wait in your car. Everything is a work in progress I suppose. Overall really great, like the staff and facility.

- Verified patient on 4/19

My whole experience was great! Everyone was so sweet and helpful. I needed a rapid test urgently for a flight and they helped me with ease. Will definitely come back here if I need another covid test.

- Verified patient on 6/7

The wait time was pretty long. I had to get out of my car for them to come give us the Covid test. I called four times because nobody showed up for 45min. Then a doctor came out so I asked for the test. She was very friendly. When I finished the test I went home and waited about 45 min so I decided to call them to see if the test was done they said it was. They never called me to tell me the results

- Verified patient on 8/20

The process to get my covid rapid test was painless and simple. There was even a 3 year old patient ahead of me who got swabbed. The staff made him feel completely comfortable. It was quick be easy and I was on my way. And that’s the best part no waiting and quick and efficient service. And my service was booked on line recommended by one of your medical assistance named Aurion.

Hawaii Covid test. Coming to this location saved us hours in travel time. There was about a 30 minute delay but our family was scheduled together. And there were apologies for the waits. Everything after this was wonderful!!!! Tesr came back timely! The nurse who tested us was pleasant. Thank you

Well done Henry Mayo! I’ve been tested four times for COVID and this was my best experience. Although I was positive. . . Your facility by far is the best place to test!

Visit for COVID-19 testing for travel. No lines, minimal wait time, overall a very efficient process. I got my results back the same day as my test and I am within the 72 hour timeline for boarding my flight to Hawaii! Aloha Hawaii. Mahalo AFC!

- Verified patient on 5/10

AFC staff was amazing. Any time I called in (over 20 times) to understand the process of getting tested for Hawaii travel, each staff member was very patient with my questions and thoroughly explained. Enjoyed my experience with them and feel at ease with my trip now.

I had problems with the on-line registration, but and her co-worker took the time and effort to make sure I got tested. Thank you so much Ann. You made stressful experience manageable.

It was great. Noreen and Abby were wonderful! Noreen really did beyond and more when she helped me with my covid test. She knew I'm deaf and she tried SO hard to do ASL for me to be able to understand her. Abby was GREAT too. Texting me the entire time instead of calling because she knew I would struggle on the phone. I definitely recommend this place! Noreen and Abby, you guys are WONDERFUL!

- Verified patient on 1/23

Everyone was very nice. To the lady doing the swabs outside. Thank you for being so nice and understanding and going the extra mile to make sure I didn’t need any additional tests. To the lady that took my call, thanks for being so nice and helping me get connected to the doctor. I know this is a busy time for all of us. Your office is going beyond the limits of caring for your patients and it shows. Thank you Just two suggestions: need a light at the table so the nurse can see the documents better at night and perhaps listing a phone number on the door so we (the sick) can call when we arrive and not enter the waiting room. Just trying to be safe for others. Thank you all

- Verified patient on 1/4

Waited and hour outside for a rapid Covid test. Had to call 3 times to remind them I was in my car waiting. I understand things run behind, but we are talking about a 30-second swab and being done. Better time management is needed here.

The provider who saw my son ( Jennifer Ng NP ) was very nice to let me know the result of his test right away so I don’t have to worry too much. I greatly appreciate the medical care and concern .

Made an appointment for a COVID-19 test for travel. I selected AFC because it is not far from my house. I’m glad i did. Luckily it wasn’t busy and I was able to get my test quickly and I got my results for travel within a few hours via email. Thank you!

- Verified patient on 5/11

Ruby is very rude. But the doctor is excellent. Not something I’d like to say but Ruby has terrible manners at the front desk. Dr. Michelena is a great doctor. I have to be honest with the review. Ruby can always be replaced with someone else, but the doctor was terrific. Thanks for covering all aspects of testing for my health. I really appreciate it.

Drive up rapid covid test was a pleasant experience considering my entire family was worried. Very easy to make online appointment and safe drive up test. Results were promised and delivered within 15 minutes for 4 people. Highly recommend.

I had an appointment for a covid test. I received several email reminders. 10 minutes before my appointment I received text instructions to checking on my arrival. I also received a phone call from a human with detailed instruction. I remained in my car and was greeted and verified test type. Then staff collected the sample.

Santa Clarita 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.
