How soon can I be treated?

The same evening, if treatment is indicated.

No. No insurance, no appointment, no referral.

Should I start antibiotics now?

Starting before testing can suppress the organism and muddy the result. Come in first — the answer is hours away, not days.

Could this be an STI?

Possibly. Both panels can be run from the same visit.

Test first, then treat — same day. The guess is what fails.CLIA #45D2048957 · CAP #8722734 · Same-day results · Walk-ins welcome

Burning on urination, urgency, frequency, cloudy urine, suprapubic discomfort. The standard response is an empiric antibiotic and a hope. The better response is to identify the organism and its resistance genes the same afternoon, and let a physician choose accordingly — because the failure rate of guessing is not small.

What to expect today

Step	Detail
Collect	Clean-catch urine. Walk in; arrive by 1:00 PM for a same-day result
Panel	Multiplex molecular: organisms + antibiotic-resistance genes
Result	4:30 PM (STAT: ~2 hours, sample in by 3:00 PM)
Physician	Partner-network physician, minutes away, 4:30–6:00 PM — reserved for patients tested here that day

Go to an emergency department, not a lab, if you have: fever with flank or back pain, shaking chills, persistent vomiting, or new confusion in an older adult. Those point to a kidney infection or sepsis and need urgent clinical care now.

If you are sexually active and have urethral symptoms, an STI panel belongs in the same conversation. The overlap is substantial and the mistake is common.

We name drugs, never doses. Treatment statements follow IDSA, AUA and ACOG guidance; dose and duration are a physician's decision.

Same day, start to finish. Sample by 1:00 PM → results at 4:30 PM → if treatment is clinically appropriate, a licensed physician in our partner network sees you between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, a few minutes away. That window is reserved for patients tested here, and your slot is held the moment we take your sample — the slot is held, not hunted. On your own, a same-day appointment is nearly impossible; at an urgent care, you wait in the queue. STAT: ~2 hours, sample in by 3:00 PM.
