About Hollywood Diagnostics

Hollywood Diagnostics is an on-location, comprehensive medical and diagnostic testing solution for the film, TV, and entertainment production industries. Our medically proven, turnkey solutions are designed to create and manage a safe and healthy work environment, freeing your team to focus on producing content without the emotional stress of our new shared reality.

Dr. Lars Thestrup and Dr. Barry Diner, our Co-Medical Directors, take a hands-on approach to the day-to-day management of our client relationships to meet and exceed medical and safety protocols. Both are CLIA-certified and stay current on all COVID-related disease and diagnostic testing advances. Their extensive knowledge, experience, and certifications in large-scale medical venue management, infectious disease, and laboratory testing is perfectly suited to the management of medical and diagnostic testing needs of your production. 

Hollywood Diagnostics utilizes a COVID-19 lab-based PCR which tests for the three proteins that are commonly found on the virus. The 3-protein PCR test is the cornerstone of our diagnostic COVID-19 testing platform that works seamlessly with our easy-to-use, custom reporting system.
