COVID Testing by Dr. Schechter offers the same exceptional diagnostic testing at home as you receive when you attend in-person visits. The team maintains complete patient confidentiality.
During your scheduled appointment time, your COVID Testing by Dr. Schechter specialist arrives at your residence, reviews your medical history, and discusses any symptoms you have. They check your vital signs, complete a physical exam if needed, and offer the following:
During a nasal swab, your provider places a cotton swab inside the upper part of your nostril to get a sample of secretions for lab analysis. Nasal swabs can determine if you’re currently infected with COVID-19.
Your specialist might take a blood sample from a vein in your arm or use a finger prick. Blood tests help determine if you’ve had COVID-19 in the past and have protective antibodies.
During an at-home urine test, you leave a urine sample in a cup for your provider or a lab to test for certain health conditions.
You often receive the results of at-home lab work within 12-36 hours. Your provider discusses the results with you and develops a treatment plan (when needed) that matches your needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
You might make lifestyle changes, try at-home remedies, or take over-the-counter or prescription medications. Other treatments for COVID-19 include convalescent plasma, inhalers, and oxygen therapy.
