It’s possible to catch the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, and never know you have it. That’s what in addition to COVID-19 testing for patients who are experiencing symptoms, we are also offering COVID-19 antibody testing to determine whether or not patients have ever been infected, even if they never showed symptoms or are now healthy.

Our COVID-19 antibody testing is available for adults and children over the age of 3. Additionally, we also perform return-to-work clearances for employees who are recovering from suspected or confirmed COVID-19 disease and were quarantined by a treating medical provider.
