What is Coronavirus?

Coronavirus is a family of viruses that cause a range of diseases including the common cold as well as more severe conditions. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new strain of Coronavirus that was recently discovered in 2019 and has not been studied before.

Coronavirus infection is transmitted from humans to humans via close contact. Transmissions occur through the air droplets that exist inside the nose or mouth when an infected person sneezes or coughs. The virus then enters the body through the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, and mouth).

Testing Options

Our Beverly Hills team provides drive-through tests at our office parking lot by appointment as well as via house calls to your home or workplace.

At My Concierge MD, we are offering three main testing methods to detect the Coronavirus:

Nasal Swab & Mouth Swab

The PCR nasal swab or mouth swab test is a reliable test to detect the Coronavirus infection. We are mostly doing mouth swabs now as the accuracy when done correctly is the same without any discomfort to you as a patient. Test results from our molecular test

Our physicians and nursing staff will be dressed in full protective gear (suit, mask, and gloves) while performing the PCR test. If you choose to pass by our parking space to get tested, you will stay in your car and simply roll down your window so our staff can perform the Sars-cov-2 test. The physician or nursing staff will carefully slide a special Q-tip into your nostrils to take a sample of your nasal secretions; this is called a nasopharyngeal swab or culture. The swab can also be performed inside the mouth as well. When doing mouth swabs, you will be asked to cough three times into your mask and then swab the inside of your cheek thoroughly and place the q-tip inside the specimen container and close the lid tightly and return to our staff. This testing method is completely safe and quick, but some have reported some discomfort during the nasal swab process and thus the mouth swab is preferred. Your sample will be sent to our molecular test laboratory to test for Coronavirus. Results of the nasal swab test or mouth swab test are available in most cases within six hours or same day. Our office will contact you with the results as soon as we receive them. We are following all guidelines set by the cdc, fda and the health department to ensure you receive the most accurate test results and covid-19 test.

Same Day COVID-19 RT-PCR Test Results

Our lab will email your same day RT-PCR test results directly to you once they are released. If you need a travel certificate with your passport information or have special needs, please email us so we can also get those prepared for you. The turnaround time for covid-19 pcr test is typically around 6 hours.

Rapid COVID-19 test kit

Another Coronavirus testing method is the rapid COVID-19 antigen test as well as rapid COVID-19 antibody test. It is safe, quick, and noninvasive. The Rapid Covid-19 Antigen Test detects the presence of active COVID-19 infection and the Rapid Antibody test detects the presence of antibodies against COVID-19 which typically rise within 5 days for IGM and 13 days for IGG after infection.

The rapid COVID-19 Antigen test requires a nasal swab and the rapid COVID-19 antibody test requires a blood sample to detect antibodies against Coronavirus in your bloodstream. Our physicians will perform a simple nasal swab for the antigen test and a finger prick to obtain your blood sample for the antibody test. Results are usually available within 15 minutes. Our rapid antigen test is 90% to 95% accurate and our rapid antibody kits are close to a 100% accurate. Please use our online scheduling app to schedule your test today.

If your symptoms are severe, you may be referred to a hospital where you will be quarantined and receive the appropriate treatment to ease your symptoms.

If your symptoms are mild and your physician decides that you are well enough to go home, you should stay home and stop going to school or work. You should also wear protective clothing such as face masks and gloves so that you do not infect others. Self-isolation is highly recommended to protect yourself as well as others.
