Total Health & Wellness Medical Center Covid-19 Testing
The current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a worldwide health issue. At Total Health & Wellness Medical Center we are helping people in the Las Vegas and Nevad area get tested for COVID-19 to ensure they do not have an active infection and get the proper diagnosis and medical care they need. We perform COVID mouth swabs, nasal swabs as well as rapid COVID tests to deliver faster results.
What is Coronavirus?
COVID-19 is a new strain of the virus that belongs to the Coronavirus family. This family causes many diseases such as the common cold and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)among others.
Transmission of the Coronavirus can happen from animal to man. The spread of the virus occurs when an infected person sneezes or coughs. The virus uses mucous membranes like the eyes, nose, and mouth to enter the body.
Signs and Symptoms of COVID-19
The three core symptoms of Coronavirus infection are fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
If patients are not treated appropriately, complications like pneumonia, kidney failure, and death may follow.
What should you do if you think you are infected with Coronavirus?
If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath or have been in contact with a positive Coronavirus patient, please contact us right now at (725)232-8303. Our medical office at Total Health & Wellness Medical Center can set up tele-medicine services over the phone for those who desire a detailed consultation as well as schedule your nasal or mouth RT-PCR swab to rule out active infection. We can in most cases provide you results to your nasal or mouth PCR by the next day or at times the same day.
Do you need a consult or referral to have testing performed at our center?
No, currently you do not need a referral or a consult to have a COVID-19 test performed.
Our physicians/providers can provide a telehealth consult for you to discuss your symptoms or history should you need. Our medical clinic can schedule an appointment for a drive through rapid COVID test as well as PCR at our office parking. If you cannot leave your home, our team also performs house calls and can visit you in your home or work for rapid COVID-19 testing.
What to do after getting tested?
After you get tested, the lab will notify you of your results. Our physician and staff can provide you information in regards to the meaning of the test results along with informative links for further reading and learning. Our physician can consult with you if you like as well and provide you with clear instructions on how to proceed next depending on your result.
What if my Coronavirus test results are positive or negative?
If you are Coronavirus negative, you will be able to go back home but should self-isolate to minimize the risk of infection. If you are Coronavirus positive, there are two options to choose from based on the severity of your symptoms. If your symptoms are mild, you can go back home to recover but will need to self-isolate and wear protective clothing like face masks and gloves when interacting with anyone at home. If your symptoms are severe, you will be referred to a hospital where you will be admitted and treated accordingly.
