Sometimes you just need the numbers: an A1c before a refill, a ferritin because you've been dragging, a fresh TSH for your thyroid visit. This pathway lets a physician order routine tests from a defined menu at a lab near you, and unlike order-only services, every result comes back with a physician's written review and a specific next step.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Symptoms happening right now (a clinical visit, online or in person, evaluates symptoms; a lab order alone does not)
Chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or confusion (emergency care now)
Genetic testing, cancer/oncology panels, or drug-of-abuse testing (excluded: these need pre-test counseling or in-person pathways)
Testosterone or other hormone testing for low testosterone (arranged through the Low testosterone support visit, where the results are read in context)

Start the request on the website, answer a few questions to check that this visit fits you, and choose how fast you want an answer (the response window). If your concern still fits this service, a physician reviews it and sends you a secure update after you sign in. When appropriate, non-controlled prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy, and a basic work or school note can be included at physician discretion.

Your physician

Every visit is personally reviewed by Ankur Fadia, MD. He is board-certified, has extra training in heart care (a cardiology fellowship), and is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, a medical honor society. He is licensed in Virginia and West Virginia, and your care is never handed off to someone else.

How much do the labs cost?

The lab work is included in your visit, with no separate bill from the lab. The visit fee covers the physician's order and the guaranteed written review of every result.

What happens when my results come back?

A physician reviews every value and messages you a written next step for each: normal values confirmed in plain language, abnormal values each paired with a specific action. A critical value means we call you immediately, and if we cannot reach you, we send an urgent secure message right away, with clear advice to seek emergency care now if you have symptoms. Nothing is ordered and forgotten.

Can this include the labs another QuickVisitMD visit asked for?

Yes. That's one of its main jobs. A TSH for the thyroid refill visit, a lipid panel for cholesterol care, an A1c, a ferritin level, or PrEP monitoring labs can all be ordered here, and the result routes back into that visit's requirements.

Why can't I order genetic or cancer testing here?

Those tests need more than an order form. Genetic and cancer tests should come with counseling before the test, from a clinician (a doctor or other health professional) or genetic counselor who can help you pick the right test and understand the result. Drug-of-abuse testing follows its own chain-of-custody process (a strict record of who handled the sample at every step). A routine test from our list is always welcome here instead.
