I need to get my kid tested to return to school and I'm trying to figure out which approach has a faster turn around time: testing through APS at Kenmore or testing through the pediatrician. Anyone have any recent experiences with PCR return times? |
Curative is very quick in my experience. |
I’d do Curative if you want quick results. For negative results (clearance to return) they are taking longer than 48 hours in my experience. |
If Curative is accepted, we got our results in 16 hours |
We got Curative in 24 hours. |
In case anyone searches for this answer: We got our test done on Saturday at the ped and results back on Tuesday (74 hours). We got another test done on Monday at Kenmore and results back on Wednesday morning (36 hours).
Kenmore was far easier, but make an appointment online. There were lots of kids waiting without appointments and it seemed like they had a bit of a wait. We were in and out within 10 minutes. |
Definitely do curative. We've got results back from them in less than 24 hours- closer to 12-18 hours. |
Can you link to the online appt system? We are needing to get our close contact child tested today. |
Curative, which is the Arlington county testing:

Here's the link to make an appointment: https://www.resourcepath.net/covid-19-testing-at-aps/symptom-exposed-backtoschool/
Also, curative wasn't an option for us. We were only given the choice of physician administered or Kenmore. I'm not sure why, but flagging it for others in a similar boat. |
Thanks! |
Does anyone know if this is self administered or physician administered? Results come back quickly.

We got PCR results back from our ped in less than 24 hours. |
Just FYI people are getting bill hundreds of dollars at these for profit pharmacies. |
We had a test done at Kenmore recently and they told us we would be notified within 12 hours if positive and within 48 hours if negative. It was negative and almost exactly 48 hours. |
