What does a positive TB test look like?

When you take the TB skin test, a huge bump will appear on your arm at the injection site if you have had a TB infection.

During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

I was seen almost immediately. I had an unstoppable cough and just wanted relief. The doctor insisted i have a chest x-ray and she found a spot on my lungs that could be pneumonia. She prescribed an antibiotic and explained to me clearly the difficulty to really know that the antibiotics would work, given that it might be caused by a virus. Luckily for me the antibiotics worked. I had a great experience in that I felt my condition was being carefully considered and the choices understood. The x-ray technician was very friendly and helpful when I couldn't unclasp my necklace. All-in-all I highly recommend this team of doctors and technicians.

My experience at Urgent Care at Harbor Medical was good. I was unable to get into my PCP, so went to Urgent Care. They were very nice, explained everything carefully and did all they could for me. They sent me to the ER to complete my testing.
