We had to get pre-travel Covid-19 tests here and the experience was great. Starting with my many calls to their office, Sandy was great at explaining the process, timing, and changing my appointment time. I spoke with her many times and even got a call back. As for the testing. It was easy and fast as we set up an appointment online and filled out the paperwork (printout) prior to arrival. The test was quick and easy. The nurse administering the test explained the whole process. The PCR test took about 5 seconds / nostril. I got my results back in about 10hrs. It can take 48-72 hrs. If you can get tested early in the day you are first in first out for testing unless there is a priority testinging situation (first responders or something like a meat packing plant needing tested.) Paid with credit card. The test station is set up outside, so if it is cool in the morning wear a coat. Highly recommend Cole Diagnostics for travel Covid-19 testing. read more

Efficient site for CoVID-19 testing. We needed a CoVID-19 test for travel. Not many testing sites offer tests for travel purposes. We only found three in the valley. Cole Diagnostics offered the test that we needed at an affordable price. They have a great website to schedule your appointment. You select your date and time. The appointments are available in 5min intervals (8am to 3:55pm). We had to change our time slot. It was easy enough to call and have the rep change it for us. I'm really impressed by their notifications. They send you text and email reminders for your appointment. Prior to your appointment, you will need to download and fill out the paperwork. The staff will review it before you can be tested. You also need to pay for the test first. Tests for travel purposes were not covered by our insurance. Their testing site is outside in their parking lot. Be sure to bring a jacket if it's chilly. They have chairs that they wipe down if you want to sit as you wait. Note, you need to have a mask on at all times. When you get tested, you pull the mask down to expose your nose. The lab technician showed me the swab and explained the procedure. They swab both nostrils. My left nostril was surprisingly more sensitive than my right. Fortunately, it was over in seconds. Do I want to get tested again? No. However, I'm no longer fearful of the test. read more
