| DS has mild symptoms and we want to get him tested for COVID. His doctor recommended a few places but said from what they are hearing no where has good turn-around times right now and they're hearing about some not great experiences at testing sites from other parents. Anyone do very recent testing in DC and have a good experience? |

We go to a Children's pediatrician and she said they don't have their drive-up testing anymore and aren't doing in-office testing. He's not sick enough to go the ER, so not sure Children's is an option (but please tell me if you know otherwise!) |

We did testing today in Congress Heights. No line and it was well done. However the turnaround time will be up to 5 days I think.
The other option OP is to pay for a homebased option. If you are willing to spend $150 or so you can get a saliva based test shipped to you and results in 36 hours. https://ct1.medstarhealth.org/content/uploads/sites/16/2019/12/Urgent-Care-Alternatives-for-Asymptomatic-COVID-Testing_FINAL-PDF.pdf?opt_id=oeu1596468184607r0.1358349541451307&_ga=2.85919258.2024496646.1596468185-236283004.1596468185 |

I see DC tags here. You wait in the car and they come to you. |
