How one elite New York medical provider got its patients coronavirus tests.
The company triaged requests and only tested patients who showed symptoms that warranted further inquiry, in line with New York health department guidelines, one source said.
“Clearly there is access beyond what most Americans are seeing is available,” said Dr. Jake Deutsch, a clinical director of New York-based Cure Urgent Care, commenting on the broader lack of testing. “Hopefully we will get mass testing soon, it shouldn’t be based on your class or any other factor other than symptoms.”
One of those tested by Deutsch’s practice was social media influencer Arielle Charnas, who posted about her results on Instagram. Deutsch said Charnas, a friend, was sick and did not get special treatment. Charnas did not respond to a request for a comment. Sollis Health has locations in the Upper East Side and Tribeca neighborhoods of Manhattan. “At the ER, you’ll wait 5 hours. Our doctors can handle most medical issues immediately,” it says on its website. “It can take weeks to see the best specialists. We get you in right away.”
