Where to get a walk-in rapid strep, flu, or RSV test in Mount Pleasant, SC

Phoenix Pharmacy at 1204 Hospital Drive, Unit 102, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 offers walk-in rapid testing for strep, flu A and B, RSV, and other respiratory illnesses. Results are ready in about 15 minutes. No appointment needed. If you test positive and treatment is appropriate, our partnering provider can send a prescription the same day. Call 854-238-4499.

Two panels. One swab. Straight answers.

Phoenix Pharmacy offers two rapid respiratory test options. Both use a single throat or nasal swab. Both give you results in about 15 minutes. The difference is how many things we look for. Not sure which one is right? Ask the pharmacist. That is what we are here for.

The Mini Panel costs $120 and screens for strep, Flu A, Flu B, RSV, and human rhinovirus (the common cold virus) — a solid fit for the classic sick-with-a-sore-throat-and-fever pattern, whether that's you or your kid. The Full Respiratory Panel costs $210 and covers roughly 15 respiratory targets, adding adenovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza, Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough), Mycoplasma and Streptococcus pneumoniae, and more on top of everything in the Mini Panel — best suited for symptoms that won't quit, a lingering cough, exposure to whooping cough or pneumonia, or when you need a clear answer beyond the usual suspects. Both use a throat or nasal swab and deliver results in about 15 minutes, and both offer same-day prescriptions through the partnering provider when treatment is appropriate.

In. Swab. Out. Feeling better sooner.

1. Walk in. No appointment. Come during pharmacy hours. Bring an ID if it is your first visit.

2. One swab. A quick throat or nasal swab. Takes seconds. Uncomfortable for a moment, then done.

3. Results in about 15 minutes. You wait in the store or step out for coffee. We call or text you when it is ready.

4. Same-day prescription if needed. If your result is positive and treatment is appropriate, our partnering provider can send a prescription the same day, right to our pharmacy. You pick it up before you leave.

Why Phoenix, not urgent care.

When you are sick and trying to decide what to do, the choice is usually urgent care, your primary doctor, or waiting it out. Here is the honest comparison.

Phoenix Pharmacy Rapid Testing skips the appointment altogether — just walk in — and gets you out the door in 20 to 30 minutes, compared to the 45 minutes to 2 hours (longer during flu season) typical of an urgent care visit that often requires booking ahead. You're seen by your own pharmacist, someone who already knows your name, rather than whichever provider happens to be on shift. Pricing is a flat, upfront fee for the test instead of the copay-plus-visit-fee-plus-test-fee combo you usually don't total up until later. Same-day prescriptions are available through Phoenix Pharmacy's partnering provider when treatment is appropriate, just as they are at urgent care — but the real difference is pickup: at Phoenix Pharmacy it happens right there in the same trip, while urgent care sends you on a separate errand to the pharmacy.

We are not urgent care. We are a neighborhood pharmacy that does the two things a sick person needs most: find out what is going on, and get the medicine to fix it. In one stop.

Independent. Local. Accountable.

Phoenix Pharmacy is an independently owned compounding and community pharmacy on the corner of Bowman Road and Hospital Drive, minutes from the Ravenel Bridge. We are the only pharmacy in Mount Pleasant offering walk-in rapid respiratory testing. This service was built and is overseen by Chad Straughan, PharmD, working with a partnering provider who prescribes when treatment is appropriate. Testing is testing. Treatment decisions belong to the prescriber.

  • The Mini Panel covers the usual suspects: strep, flu A and B, RSV, and the common cold virus. The Full Respiratory Panel adds about a dozen more targets, including whooping cough, parainfluenza, adenovirus, coronavirus, and pneumonia-causing bacteria. Choose the Full Panel when symptoms are not adding up.
