COVID 19 TESTING

We do not have COVID 19 tests. There are various Urgent Care type facilities that are doing testing but will depend on age of child. Also those places require child to see their doctor, who will determine if a COVID test is needed. The amount of time to receive results varies as well. You can check with your insurance company to see which facilities they will pay for.

Local health departments are also testing without having to see a doctor. You have to call them to schedule an appointment for the test.

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) has a drive thru testing site at their Satellite Blvd location in Duluth. A doctor’s order is required for them to schedule your appointment. We can give you an order once the child has been evaluated by our doctor.
