Stop guessing. Get real answers.

We don't do trial and error. We run our own state-of-the-art laboratory in house to find out exactly what's wrong — and treat the source, so your symptoms subside faster than any other approach. It's quicker and more affordable than the big-box labs other urgent cares and hospitals rely on.

COMPARISON

Typical urgent care vs. Local MD:

Most clinics treat your infection with a best-guess antibiotic, send you home, and ship your sample to an outside lab — so you wait, and often come back when the first treatment doesn’t work. We do it differently. Our own in-house laboratory identifies the exact source of your illness, so your provider targets the treatment from the start and takes care of you right the first time. No guessing. No trial and error.

Typical urgent care

  • Uses an outside laboratory
  • Typically more expensive
  • Antibiotics prescribed without understanding the issue
  • Sample shipped to an outside lab
  • Results in 3—7 days
  • Often a return visit to change treatment
Local MD Logo
  • We run our own laboratory in house
  • Faster and more affordable
  • We identify the exact pathogen first
  • Tested on site in our own lab
  • Results back as fast as possible
  • We target the treatment — right the first time
TESTING

What we can test for:

Respiratory
Checks for all respiratory germs — including flu, COVID, and RSV — from a single swab, and tells us whether your infection is viral or bacterial, so you only take antibiotics when you truly need them.
Sore Throat
We look beyond a quick strep test to find exactly what’s causing your sore throat.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
We pinpoint the exact germs causing your infection, so your provider can treat it precisely — no harsh, broad antibiotics you don't need.
Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI)
Discreet, accurate STI testing.
Women’s Health
Targeted testing for common women’s health infections, so you get clear answers and the right treatment.
Wound
Identifies the germs behind a slow- or non-healing wound.
