Our Experience with Quest Diagnostics
We tested Quest’s expanded STD panel and were able to schedule a same-day visit at a local location. Check-in was fast and the staff was professional. The entire lab visit took less than 15 minutes. Results were available securely through our online account three days later, with clear formatting and helpful interpretation notes. Each test result included reference ranges and downloadable PDFs for sharing with a provider if needed.

You’ll be notified by email when your results are posted, and you can access them securely in your dashboard — no paper mail or email attachments.
