Syndromic Testing at Physicians Premier

Physicians Premier Emergency Rooms offer a Respiratory and Gastrointestinal Panel Test that checks for 20 different targets and types of pathogens. Our test uses molecular testing that is 99% accurate. Many clinics, urgent care offices, and even traditional hospital emergency rooms only offer a rapid type of test that looks for one type of pathogen. These tests are often only 80% accurate. So, when a physician tells you that your test is negative, it doesn’t always mean you don’t have that infection. Rest assured, that at Physicians Premier 24/7 No Wait Emergency Rooms we offer a better option. Our respiratory and gastrointestinal panels take only 1 hour to run.

At most other facilities, patients are told they have a viral or bacterial infection without the physician ever having proof. This results in millions of prescriptions each year for unnecessary antibiotics. Over time this has increased antibiotic resistance. The rates of Superbugs and multi-drug resistant bacteria is rising each year. Physicians Premier respiratory and gastrointestinal panels help avoid the dangerous practice of over prescribing antibiotics. We believe our communities deserve better.
