How long does a strep test take in Ventura?

A strep test usually only takes a few minutes. A throat swab is used for the strep A test, whereas a cotton swab or a urine sample is used for the strep B test. Your healthcare provider can tell you how long your strep test will take based on the procedure used.

What happens if you test positive for group B strep?

Adults seldom show symptoms or get sick with Group B strep, but it can be dangerous for newborns. Antibiotics are commonly given to pregnant women who test positive for group B strep to keep the illness from spreading to the baby as it goes through the birth canal. Because the infant will not be exposed to germs in the delivery canal, antibiotics are not required for women with group B strep who are having a scheduled Cesarean section.

How much does a strep test cost in Ventura?

A strep test's price is influenced by a variety of criteria, including provider rates, the type of test (throat swab, vaginal swab, or urinalysis), geographic region, and if your health plan covers this treatment. Getting an estimate from your health insurance company or the step test company is the quickest way to figure out how much a strep test will cost.

I've come to this clinic for a very long time. I've always been treated with respect and thoughtfulness and never had too ling of a wait time. I do make sure that if I need to visit the urgent care I come during hours that may not be as busy. I waited for maybe 10 min today, i had to wait in my car due to covid restrictions. I first spoke with Sandra at the front desk she was great, I also met with 2 nurses, both were also fantastic. My dr today was Dr Read. Again fantastic. I've never had any issue here and my primary care and neurologist Dr. Ali is here too.
