Can I go to an urgent care for lab testing?

You can and should go to urgent care for lab testing! With urgent care, you can just walk in for immediate service. Also, you won’t have to wait long, as the wait time at urgent care is minimal. On top of that, urgent care clinics have onsite labs to process tests quickly and produce results quickly too, often same-day or even within minutes! Some primary care clinics can provide testing but will likely have to send your test out to another clinic to be processed. All this makes urgent care a really convenient place to go for lab testing.

It can be important to have a lab test done right away, like when it’s recommended by a physician or required for work, and it may even be necessary to have a lab test done right away, like when it’s for pregnancy or an STD. Urgent care can test for infections like chlamydia and others, as well as kidney, cardiovascular, or liver issues, or even cancer.

Do I have to make visit for lab testing? Can you just walk in for a blood test?

When you choose to go to urgent care for lab testing, this means you can just walk right in for immediate service, and within minutes, you’ll be able to speak with a physician and get tested. Also with urgent care, you can walk in for a blood test for whatever purpose. Here at AFC Urgent Care Bradenton, we’re able to provide many different kinds of tests, including:

• CBC tests – Complete blood count tests to check for infections or conditions like anemia or leukemia
• Chemistry – Tests for signs of dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, or liver function abnormalities
• Urinalysis – Urine tests to check for drugs, pregnancy, or infections
• Cultures – Which test for the flu or strep throat

We’re also able to provide employer drug/alcohol testing, so if you’re an employee who needs a test, we can provide it, or if you’re an employer who needs to test your employees, we can do so.

When can I expect my lab test results back?

Lab tests are really simple and quick, as all that’s needed is a sample for testing, like a blood or urine sample or a sample from your throat. The sample we’ll need depends on the type of test you need. Once we have a sample, we’ll test it with our onsite lab, and soon after, the results will be available. Results may be available within only 10 minutes! This depends on what’s being tested for, and for STDs, test results can be provided same-day. We’ll contact you when your results are ready.
