COVID-19 Testing with same-day results
Holtzman Medical Group now offers COVID-19 testing. You do not need to be a patient of Holtzman Medical Group to obtain a test.
We offer testing both for individuals who have symptoms or an exposure, and for those who require a negative test for travel or other reasons. Please choose the appropriate option when booking.
Test results: Test results will be delivered the same-day, often within 1 hour of testing
Location: Our testing site is at 1180 Beacon Street Suite 6B Brookline, MA. When you arrive, please follow the instructions in your confirmation email. We are unable to take walk-ins at this time.
The Test: We utilize the Abbott ID NOW COVID 19 NAAT. This is a nucleic acid amplification test. It works by amplifying and detecting RNA in the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID 19. This test is both highly sensitive and specific for SARS-CoV-2.
