Families in Houston, Texas, can rely on Lifeline Urgent Care for a full spectrum of COVID-19 testing services, including rapid PCR tests. Our fully equipped and physician-led immediate care center features a convenient drive-thru and does not require appointments or referrals. And, our rapid PCR tests deliver same- or next-day results, so you can quickly find the answers you need to your health questions and take the appropriate next steps.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests deliver highly accurate results with little need for re-testing. In fact, they’re considered to be the “gold standard” of COVID-19 diagnostics. PCR testing screens for the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus behind the respiratory disease known as COVID-19.
As was mentioned above, rapid PCR test results usually arrive within the same day or the next day. However, if you need COVID-19 test results faster than that, Lifeline Urgent Care also offers rapid antigen testing that delivers results within a matter of minutes. This test screens for proteins related to SARS-CoV-2 and is slightly less accurate than PCR testing, although still reliable. Our team also offers convenient telemedicine services (and has done so since 2017!), so you can consult with one of our clinicians from the comfort and safety of home if you have any questions about your symptoms or whether you should be tested.

Our goal is simple; we strive to provide a high level of easily accessible and affordable medical care to patients. Here are some of the frequently asked questions our clients have:
An urgent care clinic is a convenient place to turn if you need walk-in care for an acute, non-life-threatening illness or injury. Unlike primary care practices that require appointments and are often booked for days in advance, urgent care clinics treat patients on a walk-in basis and are often open during extended hours. They’re also a much more sensible and affordable alternative to bustling emergency rooms in non-life-threatening scenarios.
Here are a few examples of health concerns that can be treated at an urgent care clinic:
Many people face this question on a daily basis. As a general rule of thumb, individuals who fear loss of life, limb, or vision should promptly call 911 or go to the nearest ER. It’s also important to seek emergency care if you or someone around you experiences any of the following:
