Detailed Answer

Prime Time Pediatrics is Athens-Oconee’s only pediatric urgent care dedicated solely to children, so we’ve made rapid COVID-19 testing readily available in our kid-friendly clinic. If your child wakes up with fever, cough, or you need a test for school, just head to our pediatric urgent care clinic—no need to hunt for a separate testing site. When you Google “urgent care pediatric near me” or “kids urgent care near me,” you’ll see our Watkinsville office at the top because we focus exclusively on children and teens.

How it works:

1. Register online through Fast Pass (primetimepeds.com/fast-pass) or call us at (706) 705-4543..

2. A pediatric trained medical assistant will gently collect a small nasal swab.

3. Results from our CLIA-waived rapid antigen test are ready in about 10 minutes. When recommended, we can also send a PCR swab to the lab.

Because testing is done on-site, you get same-visit guidance from a board-certified pediatrician about contagiousness, return-to-school timing, or any needed treatment. Most major insurance plans cover the visit; pay at time of service discounts are available for self-pay families.

We’re open Monday through Saturday, making it easy to fit testing around work and school. Free parking, stroller-friendly ramp, popsicles, and a prize chest keep the experience as stress-free as possible for parents and kids alike.
