Covid-19 Testing for Kids & Adults
We offer Covid-19 PCR testing in Hinesville for kids and adults.
The PCR test is the most accurate way to determine if you have an active SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is administered via a nasal swab and can directly detect the virus’s genetic material. The sample is sent to a lab for processing, with results usually ready within a few days.

Children, as a group, are less susceptible to covid-19. The illness in pediatric cases appears to be mild, with most cases presenting with symptoms of a common cold, such as:
- Fever
- Cough
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Sore throat
Fever, cough and shortness of breath can occur in the more severe cases.

- Hand sanitizer available throughout the facility and we have reduced the number of surfaces you need to physically touch while in the clinic.
- All staff wear appropriate PPE and face masks. We also ask patients and parents to wear face masks while in clinic.
- We allow a limited number of people in the office at once, with reduced seating in the waiting area to ensure proper social distancing.
- At this time, we only allow the patient and one adult in the exam room per visit.
