Christina Sternesky, the APN who administered the COVID test, WAS AN ABSOLUTE GEM. SO FRIENDLY, SO PERSONABLE, SO NICE. I’m sure she has swabbed hundreds of noses over the last year and she made us feel like we were the only ones. A true angel.

Lab Tests FAQs

  • Where should I get a lab test in Watchung?

    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 Watchung 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.

Many health insurance providers will cover the cost of lab testing in part or in full.

  • 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. 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.

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

    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.

Recent Lab Tests Reviews (20)

Both the intake lady and the lady who did my covid test was sooooooo nice and i would go back and recommend this place just for them. Two beautiful black ladies

- Verified patient on 7/21

The staff was excellent. However I do not think you should have patients waiting for a covid test in the same waiting space as others.

- Verified patient on 1/15

It was a pleasure to be seen quickly and getting our COVID tests so easily. We were very impressed with the facility and the staff.

- Verified patient on 2/11

The front desk receptionist and the nurse that did my covid test were both really great and kind

- Verified patient on 8/4

Went for COVID-19 test. Everything was great except waiting for the re-registeration of my patient information that I'd filled out beforehand online.

- Verified patient on 2/13

I was treated well. Had both Covid vaccines there. The only bad thing was too many people in the waiting area. Several asking for Covid tests. They should have been in their cars

- Verified patient on 2/7

From start to finish everyone was very welcoming & professional. I was there for a PCR test. I telephoned the day before and someone took the time to listen to my travel dates to ensure I was going to be within my 72 hour window. I arrived the next day, registered, and took the test. And whoa 24 hours later, I was able to call for my results, pick up the my printed document and go!! Thank you so much to the adorable Emily and the very patient Tahesa at the front desk!! With so much rudeness & bad customer service, I was " pleasantly " surprised to encounter such a great experience at the doctor's office 🌺 kudos to Riverside!!

- Verified patient on 7/17

Everyone was nice and professional from the young man that entered our information to the technician. I thought it was going to hurt but it was painless. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a COVID test.

- Verified patient on 3/31

Ashley was very friendly and professional when taking my nasal swab for Covid testing. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. I would have liked to see better enforcement of mask wearing among the patients. For the entire 15-20 minutes I was inside the facility, a customer had his mask below his chin while talking on his phone.

- Verified patient on 2/16

I reviewed only two patients for injury! one had an knee inj not serious level of care but not sure the other pt med needs! Only two pt prior to me was waiting for Covid 19 tests waiting prior to me signing into the medical facility! I sat over 2:45 mins! The knee pt came in after me and wait was only less than 1h seen by physical and discharge! No way I should have been there three hrs Waiting to be treated! It was not that busy! Not at all! They had more phone calls then pt needing med attention!

- Verified patient on 4/6

The only complaint is how many people were in the waiting room People not only getting vaccinated but people waiting for co-vid tests which implies they could be sick No temperature checks at all Perhaps in the future patients should call upon arrival and get called in when they are ready The nurse is absolutely awesome!!

- Verified patient on 2/12

Showed up to wait for a Covid test before opening. The staff was very considerate and informative and the Dr. Couldn’t have been more down to earth and helpful. Very reassuring!

- Verified patient on 12/20

I was in and out for a rapid COVID-19 test in less than 30 minutes. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I am very big on bed-side manner. I won't hesitate to return if need be. Thanks Watchung, NJ staff!

- Verified patient on 3/28

I’ve been here twice. The first time everyone was so friendly and waiting for my appointment was so fast (I’ve visited other centers for a COVID test and waited hours after checking in). Going the second time I was sure that I probably got lucky for my first visit and it would not be the same the second time around- but nope! Everyone here is extremely friendly, I barely waited; whether it be to get checked in or waiting in my car to get called to go inside for testing. I also received my results quickly both times. I don’t ever leave reviews but my experience here was amazing and I would highly recommend. There are other centers closer to my home, I will most likely continue to drive further to come here if need be in the future.

- Verified patient on 1/19

This was my second visit here for a COVID test. My first visit was awful as I wasn’t familiar with their process and assumed the information I entered on the website for scheduling carried over. It does not! You must go a register inside once you arrive for your appointment. I knew what to do for my second visit and everything went very smoothly. It would help if they had some signage in the parking lot and in the waiting room as there are a lot of confused people. The staff, however, is very professional.

- Verified patient on 1/14

Everything was fine except I had an appointment for Covid Test at 11 am and wasn’t taken in until after 12 pm. Wait time is to long.

- Verified patient on 1/8

Pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to get a same day appointment for a rapid results covid test. Staff were courteous and professional.

- Verified patient on 3/5

It took two hours for a Covid vaccine. I thought that was excessive as I had an appointment. People that were there for Covid tests were also in the waiting room. They should have been separated. The nurse that administered the vaccine was lovely though.

- Verified patient on 1/13

The check in women was so nice and the man who did the covid test also very nice people.

- Verified patient on 6/3

Super friendly staff and quick service ! Went in for a COVID test and was in and out within 10-15 minutes ! Will definitely recommend :)

Watchung 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.

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.
