While you wait for your COVID-19 test results

Patients need to continue to self-quarantine and maintain social distancing policies. Other ways to stay safe as you wait for your lab results are as follows, per the CDPH:

Washing hands with soap and water frequently. Scrub for at least a minute to effectively reduce bacteria and germs.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily with proper cleaning supplies.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow. Avoid using your hands and touching your face frequently after a sneeze, cough, or after eating. The virus can spread quickly from a patient’s hands to other individuals.
Avoiding close contact with people who are sick. Make sure to also avoid others that are vulnerable for dangerous symptoms such as people with autoimmune issues, individuals with advanced age (60+), and those with chronic diseases like asthma.
Staying away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.
If you smoke or vape, consider quitting. Smokers who already have lung disease or reduced lung capacity could be at increased risk of serious illness.

Instant Urgent Care Telemedicine Reviews:

See what our patients are saying about our telemedicine urgent care services:

The doctor was very understanding, asking questions, listening to all I said carefully, monitoring my symptoms, giving advice, prescribing antibiotics and other treatment measures. This doctor has seen me a few times before and she has always been very helpful and caring.

Convenience and safety of care, especially given the Coronavirus pandemic-related issues. Thank You!

Doctor was efficient and pleasant; staff were courteous also and texts were prompt. Good communication.

First time I've had an appointment through Telemedicine, staff and doctor made everything quick and easy 🙂

The telemedicine visit was super efficient, but she took the time to ask about how I was doing generally, if I was ok overall and not just about the issues at hand, which I appreciated.

Very convenient especially during these times. Doctor was very nice and listened very well. He asked all the right questions and diagnosed me. I already feel better. Thank you very much!
