To all residents of Texas and the surrounding areas, we provide comprehensive medical insurance treatments and test services.

PCR

Monoclonal Antibody Test
The patient’s immune system can swiftly eliminate the COVID-19 virus with monoclonal antibodies, similar to the patient body’s own antibodies. This prevents further illness or the need for hospitalization. We perform this test to check your monoclonal antibodies count.
