Antigen Testing
Antigen tests are designed to detect proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 in respiratory specimens, for example, nasal swabs.
PCR Testing
A molecular test analyzes samples by amplifying the specimen to detect the virus that causes COVID-19. Molecular tests may also be referred to as PCR, NAAT, RT-PCR.
Antibody Testing
When you come in contact with a virus or bacteria, your body creates an antibody to help fight off the germ the next time you’re infected. Antibody testing is a lab test that checks for specific types of antibodies.
Telehealth Options
Feeling down but don’t know what’s causing it? You’ll want to try GatherWell’s diagnostic services. We will run a series of comprehensive tests to determine what bug, virus, or deficiency is wearing down your body.
We also offer telehealth services that connect you with a licensed physician. You’ll be able to ask questions and discuss your treatment options with a doctor – without scheduling an in-person appointment weeks in advance. And who likes leaving the house with full sinuses anyway?

The staff at GatherWell are truly amazing people. I’d much rather pay for Covid tests at GatherWell than wait in lines to have a free test somewhere else. 10+ stars
Due to surgeries I have to be tested.

Drive into the tent. They come out to your car, you never even get out of your vehicle. So long as you can roll your window down, and let them swab inside both nostrils, your good to go. You have your results within minutes. I didn't get a chance to read mine for about 45 minutes, but I saw that they had emailed me my results. This is a no brainer. If you can afford it ( my boss paid for mine), it is the fastest, easiest route to go.

Everyone loves using GatherWell’s testing services. Who doesn’t like convenient and affordable lab testing? But there are a few demographics that especially benefit from our rapid results testing.
Kids
It seems like kids are constantly coming down with some kind of ache or sniffle. Recurring coughs and colds can lead to many unnecessary missed school days. But if you know your child is complaining of sickness, why not get a prescription without the long trek to the doctor’s office?
Busy Professionals
Unless you’re paying incredible fees for luxury concierge care, busy professionals probably aren’t getting to the doctor as often as they should. Full schedules mean you can’t take time off just for a cold or sore throat. But with GatherWell, you can stop by our Minnesota testing locations during your commute.
Don’t let a surprise infection slow you down.
Individuals with Chronic Infections
We know that people prone to chronic infections need their prescriptions and need them fast. If one of your prescriptions runs out, then you’re left scrambling to convince your pharmacy to give you an emergency dose. Instead, use GatherWell. Whenever you feel like you’re coming down with RSV or the flu, get tested and get treated fast.
Conditions We Test For
We offer testing for many common illnesses and plan to increase these options over time. We were here for our local communities during the pandemic and will be here for you going forward. Current tests we offer include:
