Default Urine test - best place to go

I don't have a specific doctor in TV but would like to have my urine tested for a possible urinary tract infection

Should I go to an "Urgent Care" or is there a walk-in lab that does them?

Must be golf cart accessible

How reliable are the tests you can buy in a pharmacy?

Thank you

Urgent care is the best place to go. Any lab can do it, but you would need a doctor's order.

Can you get urine tested without a doctor's order? - Bing

I agree with retiredguy. Any urgent care can do the test and prescribe, as appropriate. Don’t go to a lab, since they can’t prescribe.

It has been my experience that a urinary tract infection will not clear up on its own without antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. Therefore, urgent care would be the place to go. Any one should be able to help you.

Most Dr's prefer that you go in a cup.

Paramont Urgent Care on 466. I have had good luck with them...especially UTI's.
