Amazing experience. We felt safe and were treated very well by the staff. We had a very short wait despite a long line. We were done in under 15 minutes including our wait time. Since we live in Midtown KC, we had our results before we were halfway home. A bit spendy, but worth it for the convenience and speed.

Online booking was simple and easy. The first staff member was extremely nice when I pulled into the facility she took down all my info when I checked in. I then waited for another staff member to come and perform the test. She came up to my window and before she said anything someone from a distance in the parking lot with street clothes on called for her attention and yelled asking for cigarettes. The staff member stepped away from my car and went over to the person and handed her a cigarette. She came back and tried to perform the test without changing her gloves or anything. Makes me think if they ever take the necessary safety measures and potentially expose people on daily basis.

First of all, it's important to educate yourself on PCR vs Antigen testing - there are pros and cons of each, and different scenarios (symptoms, exposure periods, etc) that make one or the other more accurate.Health Gauge was super easy. Everyone was geared up in full PPE, and the whole process was very efficient. I was out of there within 15 minutes, stayed in my car the whole time, and got my test results the same day. For anyone needing an antigen test, I recommend this!

In these never-ending Covid times, there are finally some real ways to get rapid results on a Covid test. The only kicker? You gotta pay for it. $80-$100 to be precise. I've done the alternative, free pharmacy testing a handful of times and it's... not great. There have been long wait times to be tested, and sometimes 4-5 turnaround on test results. If you actually have this virus, then you'll be potentially spreading just waiting for results, and or conversely, you're having to do intense isolation for nothing. I really liked the format to the rapid testing. Make a reservation at their website which is easy, and show up a few minutes beforehand. I tried this during a fall Covid spike and there were no time slots. Most recently, they had TONS available, so maybe they've grown more efficient. It's located at Oak Park Mall, specifically entered off of 95th street, the north and west areas of the mall. You pull in line by following the blue flags, to folks in hazmat like suits. The day I went, there were a few cars in line but they were so efficient that I literally was in and out within five minutes. When they say rapid, it's very fast. I had my results by the time I got home, and unfortunately tested positive. It was worth the $80 to quickly self-isolate from my family and put my true quarantine plan into action. Definitely hope no one needs this spot, but it's worth bookmarking if you start to notice the onset of flu-like symptoms, or even cold-like symptoms right now. Ask yourself, if you've been distanced and wearing a mask, where would you have gotten a cold virus in the winter of 2020-21? If you can swing it, this is the place to get tested.

My wife went two times and spent 200 dollars. First test the nurse barely swabbed her nostril. The results came back a few hours later negative. Her employer needs two negative test results to return to work. 24 hrs later she went back for another test. This time the nurse went all the way up to correctly swab. After explaining to him the previous test he explained the previous test was performed wrong. This test result came back positive.24 hrs later my wife scheduled a visit and lab test with her primary doctor. Not a rapid test. This test came back days later and was negative. I went to CVS for a test that was rapid and it also came back negative. I know that it’s hard to get into places to get tested but it’s worth the wait to have an accurate answer. I would not recommend going to this place.

Very positive experience! I was dreading the whole thing and it ended up being no big deal. The Oak Park Mall Drive-up Testing Center was fast and efficient. Paid and made an appointment online that fit conveniently into my schedule. Waited about 3 minutes in the car line. They had several staff working on the paperwork and several administering the test. Testing was painless and quick. Staff were friendly, helpful with information and fully protected. Highly recommend.

Easy to schedule and an easy drive through. Very friendly staff who make it efficient. It does cost with no reimbursement but it is worth it to have peace of mind. If you still have symptoms I would recommend doing a lab sent test as well. Overall was very happy with my experience.

Made an appointment to receive a COVID-19 rapid test. It was a very easy experience that I accidentally made hard on myself. I didn't know the exact location so after showing up on foot after ten minutes of walking from the other side of the mall, I was asked very nicely to comeback in my vehicle. I was accidentally 20 minutes late because of this, but staff was very kind to let me still take the test. The test was very easy and not at all painful. The line was long, but it did move very fast and the entire process was less than 10 minutes.

In the middle of all this madness This screening was quick and painless. From the first phone call until I got my results the staff was GREAT!! Kind, considerate, professional, and effective. I knew my results within the hour. I hope I don't have to get tested again but this place was great. Thank you for all you hard work! Be safe!!

Had a great experience here. Got checked in, pulled up, got tested, and had my results in 45 minutes. The woman who administered my test was incredibly kind and gentle with the test. I would highly recommend coming to this location to get tested with quick results!

We used this rapid test prior to a trip to Jamaica, which requires negative testing upon entry. The process was quick and easy from beginning to end. Make an appointment online, pay by credit card, show up to the Oak Park Mall and drive through. Process to get the test wasn't bad, swab only went halfway up nose. Test was at 11 am and results were received by 6 pm the same night.

I went to a COVID testing to this location and was in and out within 10 minutes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. Didn't even have to get off my truck. I also had results within a few hours which came directly in a text message followed by a phone call. Overall great experience.

Amazing service! I started running fever on a Friday night. On Saturday morning I made an appointment online, by 10:00 am I was driving through to be tested in my car, when I pulled back into my garage I received a call, a text and an email with a positive result. Getting such a professional service so quickly helped me to notify others quickly. I’m going to use them again for my negative result!

Easy booking online, contactless testing at the site. Was in and out in 15 minutes. Test was a swab in each nose, painless! Had my results within 1 hour and 15 min. Would recommend! Also you can submit your test to insurance for payment or reimbursement!

This location made me feel safe with their practice. They all were social distancing with 2 eye masks and 2 thick masks. Staff was friendly and asked i wear a mask at all times ( i was already doing so). When I got to the testing center( the drive through wait was under 5 minutes) the lady asked for me to relax and close my eyes. The test itself was under 1 minute and I didn't feel any discomfort or pain. No sneezing- nothing.I got a call and text results before I even got home. They provided recommendations on what to do if you are negative/positive which i found to be informative.The only problem is the location because it takes you to a dumpster near JC penny and the Oak Park Mall south entrance.The location is actually on the other side near the food court- specifically next to noodles and company. I'm sure some people took longer to get results back because they went in middle of day, I went at 9am when there wasn't a big crowd. Overall I'd recommend this place because its easy to sign up online, has fast results and I believe it said its over 97% effective.
