COVID-19 Testing
We offer COVID-19 testing to established patients in our office using a nasal swab or saliva test. This is PCR testing and results take roughly 48-72 hours. Anyone can get this test, whether or not they have symptoms of COVID-19. Please schedule an acute appointment to be seen for COVID-19 testing. Acute slots are opened up daily, but if you don’t see an opening on the online schedule, please call to get in same-day or next-day: 603-707-4433
If you’re in need of rapid testing (antigen testing), where results are available as soon as 15 minutes later, here are the locations in NH where rapid testing is offered. This testing is done on symptomatic patients only.
