Where the money actually goes

Path	What you get
Wait it out	Free — unless it is a parasite, in which case you lose months
Urgent care	Visit fee + a culture that finds bacteria only, in 2–4 days
Emergency department	Very expensive; correct only if you are systemically unwell
Auspicious Laboratory	Bacteria + viruses + parasites, same day; partner-network physician the same evening

The costly outcome is not the test. It is three months of "IBS" that turns out to be Giardia.

Why no price list

Because the right panel depends on your symptoms and duration. Text (713) 832-8892 and we will tell you what your situation costs before you come in.

Go to an emergency department, not a lab, if you have: bloody diarrhea with fever, severe abdominal pain, signs of dehydration, or you are an infant, elderly, pregnant or immunocompromised and deteriorating.

We name drugs, never doses. Treatment statements follow ACG, AGA, IDSA and CDC 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.
