I have been to this facility three or four times over the past year and a half, and have always been very satisfied with the service. Staff has always been friendly and helpful, and even with a full waiting room I've waited less than an hour to see the Doctor. Fantastic, IMO, for a walk-in service. As a cash customer I am very pleased that the one price paid upon sign-in covers anything and everything they deem necessary during the exam. Yes, I recommend them.

I was very impressed by how quickly the test was done, and relatively painlessly. Very quick in and out. You can only get this with someone who's been doing this for 20 years. Come if you're afraid of needles and want steady hands!

Lab Tests FAQs

  • Where should I get a lab test in Tulsa?

    Doctors commonly order lab tests and can refer you to one or more reputable lab test centers in your area. Tests can be performed in Tulsa hospitals, urgent care centers, 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. 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 Tulsa?

    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.

I had a rapid Covid test. They were quick and professional. I was impressed that it was performed by a physician. If I ever need this again, I’m going to skip CVS and return here.

- Verified patient on 8/14

I use access urgent regularly and have never been disappointed !!! Highly recommend! Was there for sun and weed allergy today. But also for Covid diagnosis last September and Covid test! Negative than goodness!!! Great service!

- Verified patient on 5/27

I needed to have a covid test done for my 11-year-old. They gave me a quick appointment. Staff friendliness was not very good considering I am a worried mother. The doctor gave me the test result with absolute cold and insensitive bedside manner for my situation(despite the fact that my daughter tested positive and my world and hopes collapsed in a second) He gave me a bunch of common info papers and left me with a million unasked equations. Do I recommend that place? I guess, if you are desperate.

- Verified patient on 8/29

Went for a Covid test because I went to a place where you self administer and didn’t trust it. They gave the good test the one where the Q-tip touches your brain. All good no Covid but getting the longer test just to make sure.

- Verified patient on 9/17

I thought I signed up for Covid test with 2 day wait for results; instead, I got the rapid response version and the results in about 10 minutes. The quick test/results worked out great! I liked my nurse and the PA-C who delivered the test results to me.

- Verified patient on 8/4

Easy online appt making- same day appts. The staff was great. I drove from Owasso, to this clinic, in South Tulsa because of the same day availability & same day test results. I would come back again, if needed. It was worth the extra distance, for the quality of care & concern shown by the provider. Worth the drive.

- Verified patient on 8/10

I have had two drive up Covid tests at this facility. The staff evaluate you and take time to talk to you about your symptoms and offer solutions. Unlike most places that test for Covid. Very caring staff. I would definitely recommend!

I was very early and they admitted me at the same time as my wife so we could both get tested for covid. The staff was very professional and were very quick about what needed to be done.

The Doctor and staff were extremely attentive and concerned with our need to get an urgent covid 19 test required before my wife could have emergency eye surgery.He personally called and sent email confirming negative result at 9:00pm at night.

I scheduled for a drive up rapid Covid test. The online scheduling was super easy and they had great availability for me. When I arrived they got to me early and I was out with my results in under 30 minutes. Emily made an unpleasant test as pleasant as she could. She was great.

- Verified patient on 12/8

we received excellent care at this urgent care and would highly recommend it to other families. We went in with my daughter for a Covid test and the doctor was so thorough to make sure we got excellent care to find out what actually was going on with her because she did not test positive for Covid. great quality care. I also had to call back to get a note for her school and they took care of everything

Specific requirement for COVID test prior to travel. 2nd time I have used this facility, little more difficult this time to schedule as the would book more than a couple of days out. Staff was fantastic both times and I highly recommend

I booked my nasal swab test ahead of time so it would go smoothly. I got there 10 minutes til my appointment time. The staff had me wait in my car and wait for the nurse to call me. I waited for 5 minutes, nurse called. All total my appointment lasted 30 minutes.

I was scared I had covid as I had before. I don’t have a doctor and I was out of town and when the lady found out after my test that I didn’t have a doctor and still had a medical issue she just had me follow her in and she took care of me the doctor did she was incredible The best service I’ve ever had in my life from a doctor I even quit going to doctors for that reason she renewed my faith! Incredible experience! My New doctor to go to and place to go to even though I live 500 miles from there that’s where I will go back to the doctor because I won’t go to one where I live

- Verified patient on 8/6

I went there for a Covid test because of a sinus and upper respiratory infection and my employer insisted I get tested for Covid before being allowed to return to work. Dr. Stacey was awesome, and even sent a prescription to my pharmacy to treat my condition.

- Verified patient on 2/24

My family & I have been to this location 3 times now, each time for rapid Covid testing. I appreciate that we’ve been able to stay in our car & have the staff come to us. Each one has been receptive, attentive & thorough. At our most recent visit, it was suggested my son have flu & strep testing in addition to Covid, & it’s a good thing because his strep test was positive & the doctor came out to deliver the news. I would recommend My Doctor Urgent Care to others, & I have.

Went in for covid test and the website said no need for a appointment but when i arrived at the clinic they said I need a appointment. Need to change that on the website.

The online booking process was so easy to use. I downloaded the Solv app and it led me through everything. I was able to do all the paperwork needed, upload images of my insurance card, and ID. When I got to the Riverside location all that was left was to check-in, which was also done online. The office staff greeted me and made me feel comfortable right away. I was called back right on time! The nurse was knowledgeable and nice. When the Nurse Practitioner came in, she was nice and listened to what I had to say. She went over my test results and made sure I was comfortable with everything before I was sent out the door. I would definitely recommend Access Medical and Solv!

- Verified patient on 9/10

I couldn't make an online appointment. I had to call and was on hold for over 30 minutes before someone in another state could make my granddaughter an appointment. Once we were there it was great. My granddaughter tested positive for covid with no symptoms. So I wasn't given any verbal instructions for care just there's a printout bye..

Tulsa 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.
