Location Map
TestMark DNA schedules legal DNA collections at 1945 Glenns Bay Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29575, in the Surfside Beach area of the South Strand. The site shares its address with South Strand Internists & Urgent Care, and Glenns Bay Road has its own interchange on US 17 Bypass.
On Glenns Bay Road on the South Strand, the collection site at 1945 Glenns Bay Rd shares its street address with South Strand Internists & Urgent Care, a primary and urgent care practice that keeps its headquarters on this road and lists onsite laboratories, digital X-ray and stress testing among its services. The mailing address reads Myrtle Beach 29575, yet the practice describes its home as Glenns Bay Road in Surfside Beach, and several directory listings for the building use Surfside Beach too, so both town names lead to the same place. TestMark DNA orders each legal paternity or relationship test, books the collection at this address, and provides the chain-of-custody paperwork that the collector completes before the samples travel to the laboratory.
Glenns Bay Road runs between US 17 Bypass and US 17 Business, and on the Bypass it has its own exit, the Glenns Bay/Holmestown Road interchange. Horry County's RIDE II sales-tax program paid for that interchange and widened Glenns Bay Road into a three-lane street with curb, gutter and sidewalks on both sides between the two highways. Family Court filings in Horry County go through the Clerk of Court, whose main office is in the courthouse at 1301 Second Ave in Conway, with a branch at the Central Coast Complex, 332 Hinson Dr, Myrtle Beach. Another TestMark DNA site sits on US 17 Bypass in Murrells Inlet.
TestMark DNA's South Strand collection site is at 1945 Glenns Bay Road, the same address as South Strand Internists and Urgent Care.

Pricing Varies by Test Type
Paternity, maternity, sibling, grandparent, immigration, and home kit tests are each priced differently. Legal (court-admissible) tests cost more than personal-knowledge tests because they include chain-of-custody documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 1945 Glenns Bay Rd, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29575. We schedule chain-of-custody (legal) collections here for you, and results are typically returned in 3 to 5 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order or court order for DNA testing in South Carolina?
A doctor's order is generally not required. However, if you are a New York State resident, a prescription, court order, or ordering by other authorized persons is required by state law for all DNA identity or relationship tests.
Can DNA testing be done without the mother present?
Yes. A DNA paternity test can be performed without a sample from the child's biological mother. Including the mother's sample is preferred when possible as it improves accuracy.
How long do DNA test results take near Myrtle Beach?
Results for a standard DNA paternity test are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days from when all samples are received at the laboratory.
Is DNA testing confidential?
Yes. All samples are packaged in tamper-proof bags and processed at an accredited laboratory with restricted access. Results are shared only with authorized individuals and are never released over the phone.
What type of sample is collected for a DNA test?
The standard sample is a buccal swab - a cotton swab rubbed gently inside the inner cheek. It is painless, non-invasive, and provides the same accuracy as a blood sample.
Will DNA test results be accepted in court?
Results from a legal DNA paternity test performed at an accredited facility may be accepted in court, provided the chain-of-custody form was completed according to laboratory guidelines. Non-legal test results are not intended for court use.
Is DNA paternity testing covered by health insurance?
DNA paternity testing is considered a non-medical test and is not covered by health insurance plans.
