Choosing a healthcare testing provider doesn’t have to be a difficult feat. While there are plenty of options out there, one of the most well-respected is MAKO Medical Laboratories. Started by entrepreneur Chad Price and his co-founders in 2014, the brand has revitalized the way that patients gain test results. Known for its transparency, speed, and accuracy, MAKO Medical Laboratories is trusted by both companies and individuals within the United States.
Since its launch, the company has gone from strength to strength, expanding to meet demands during the pandemic. For the last two years, Forbes Magazine has named MAKO Medical in its list of America’s Best Startup Employers. Within this article, CEO and founder Chad Price shares the reasons why you should trust the well-known brand.
1. Higher levels of accuracy
We believe that patients deserve to get the most accurate results every time. To make this possible, we have head-hunted some of the top talent in the medical industry. These esteemed professionals offer the highest level of testing and correct results every time. Add that to the advanced technology and robotics employed at MAKO Medical Laboratory, and the team can ensure the most accurate results when dealing with patients.
Back in August 2020, the company scored 100% on CAP COVID Proficiency Testing. What’s more, just last month, the MAKO Medical Laboratories team surpassed 10 million COVID-19 tests. To do so, we partnered with leading life sciences company, Thermo Fisher Scientific. The company has stated that its polymerase chain reaction (PCR) TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit and TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit are not impacted by the new strain.
“The qPCR assay our MAKO Medical team deploys checks for all three targets in a COVID-19 positive test result, the N gene, S gene, and ORF1ab,” said Josh Arant. “This is important because unlike the delta variant, which produces a signal for all three targets, early indication shows that the omicron variant is unique in that it will only produce a signal for the N gene and the ORF1ab gene. The TaqPath assay can be used as a proxy for the Omicron variant.”
2. Value for money
Healthcare in the United States is among the highest in the world, according to a report from Investopedia. For that reason, ensuring that you choose the right testing option for your budget is essential. The team at MAKO Medical Laboratories is committed to offering the value for money and competitive pricing. When you’re looking for an accurate healthcare testing provider, the last thing you want to worry about is your finances. Since the offering is completely transparent, you can work out the costing of your tests.
3. Faster turnaround
Waiting for test results can be painstaking. One of the core reasons that we started MAKO Medical Laboratories was to offer a faster turnaround when it comes to test results. When my brother, Adam Price, and I witnessed our special-needs sister’s long wait for her much-needed results, we saw that there was a demand for real change. Fast-forward to the modern day and the team at our laboratories offer an extremely fast turnaround on medical results. This allows our patients to make vital medical decisions quickly.
4. Innovation
MAKO Medical Laboratories is powered by people. We recruit the highest level of talent when it comes to our Phds, chemists, and scientists. These intelligent individuals are at the forefront of change in the medical industry. That means that they are continually pushing the boundaries of new innovation in testing and research. It doesn’t end there. We have also invested a significant amount of money in state-of-the-art healthcare equipment, technology, and new robotics. The unique combination means we can best serve our clients.
5. Better experience
Every patient deserves to get a high level of service while being respected. At MAKO Medical Laboratories, we put the focus on you. The team ensures that you get the best level of service from start to finish—no matter where you are in your medical journey. By taking care of the finer details, we can ensure that you never need to worry about how long your test results will take, whether they are accurate, or how much they cost.
The Takeaway!

When you’re looking for results with a fast turnaround, it’s important to find the right provider for your needs. Look no further.
