Frequently Asked Questions

A TB test checks whether you’ve been exposed to tuberculosis bacteria. It’s commonly required for school enrollment, healthcare work, or certain jobs. We offer both the TB skin test (which requires a follow-up visit) and the Quantiferon-TB Gold blood test (which does not). Most results are available within 48-72 hours.

A TB skin test involves placing a small amount of fluid just under the skin of your forearm. You’ll return within 48-72 hours to have the area checked for a reaction. This is the most common screening method used by schools and employers. We’ll handle the reading and provide documentation.

A sports physical includes a physical exam, health history review, and completion of any required school paperwork. We check vital signs, screen for any heart or joint concerns, and make sure it’s safe for the student to participate. Bring any required forms from your school or league.

A work physical is a medical exam required by some employers to ensure you’re fit for duty. It may include a general physical exam, vision screening, urinalysis, or job-specific checks. We can complete most forms during your visit, with results provided the same day.
