Detailed Answer
Prime Time Pediatrics Urgent Care is the only pediatric urgent care clinic in the Athens – Oconee area. We provide in-house rapid flu tests six days a week. Because we are an urgent care just for kids, our staff is specially trained to make your child as comfortable as possible for any labs that performed. Our pediatric team collects a quick nasal swab, processes it on site, and has results—usually in 10–15 minutes—before your child leaves the exam room. Fast answers help us start supportive care promptly and let you know whether school or daycare absence is needed.
