Today I was in a hurry to get a TB skin test. The waiting room had a few people and was increasing as I sat waiting. Wait time was excellent, Tammy got me checked in quickly, was super friendly and efficient. I was back to a room, and the test administered by Kendra and she did fantastic!! All within about 30 minutes and it was great!! Keep up the good work, you guys were awesome!!

I waited 6 hours and 45 minutes in the parking lot to get a Covid test. It’s a holiday and other local testing sites were closed so they were overloaded. But, that didn’t effect the staff. They were genuinely friendly and very caring. They didn’t hurry me through. They took their time with me once it was my turn. The place was soooo clean and they sanitized very well between patients. I’m glad I went there.

My husband and I had just arrived in Hot Springs for Thanksgiving when we learned we had been exposed to Covid, and required testing. We knew Arkansas as a very conservative state, and - since we're a same sex couple - we were anxious about the service we would receive. But the nurses at MedExpress Urgent Express were gracious, friendly, and efficient. They treated us with thoughtfulness and conviviality. In doing so, they were not only a credit to MedExpress, but to the entire state. We were so grateful.

I went there only to get a Covid test so I could be cleared for a surgery at a hospital in Little Rock on Friday this is Monday I’ll get there at 10:30 go and get all my paperwork done go back to my vehicle from *** till *** I said there go in at 11:50 answer a few questions I’m taking back nice little nurse gave me a Covid test and it’s practically 12 o’clock I am the only one in the back when I go in there three rooms before mine no one is in them I’m in room number four I’ll go in there for approximately 30 minutes after my Covid test and The nurse practitioner never comes in I’ll go out to ask how much longer it’s going to be and she is still at the computer sitting at the same place as she was when I went in there and tells me that there’s other people also so I wasn’t very happy with her sitting on that for 30 minutes while I was sitting in the room waiting to be seen will not go back there

Front desk lady argued about whether I had enough symptoms to get a rapid test. I was very persistent in getting one and she seemed very irritated and said, “that’s not how it works now.” And huffed and puffed. My result were positive for the rapid test because the doctor decided to give me one. I don’t think it should be the front desk receptionist making the calls whether someone has a rapid test. Also needs to be more friendly.

My daughter and I both were tested for covid and I ask for diagnosis for other possible sickness. I received x-rays and was given medication for pneumonia. My daughter has the very same symptoms and the doctor never even listened to her lungs and she received no medications. There are anti-virus medications and I believe it is a crime that none can be prescribed by doctors because they are a cure that would prevent a vaccine

- Verified patient on 8/28

Great care always. I use them quite frequently for the needs my daughters PCP is unable to get to in a timely manner and they are ALWAYS nice & efficient. Check is very smooth & thought out. Mary is always sweet to my girl. Definitely recommend. Wait time is long currently but that’s because there’s 100 people needing to be tested for covid there & they can only go so fast. When it’s not covid season the wait time is always very minimal!!

The whole experience was amazing. I dread doctor’s visits - between the cost and typical subpar care, I go as a last resort. Today wasn’t any different; I was not looking forward to the visit. However, everything from start to finish was great. I scheduled the appointment online. The front desk manager, Robbi, was phenomenal. Check-in was a breeze. The wait wasn’t long at all. They may have been MAYBE 10-15 mins off from my appointment time. In their defense, I was advised to show up 10 mins early, but showed up right on time. The NP, Scott (Richard) Savage was awesome! He explained everything clearly and made me feel at ease. I’m sure I was rambling but he listened and addressed all of my concerns. Oh! Can’t forget the lady that took my nose swab for the COVID test - I can’t remember her name. But, she was great as well! Overall great experience. I won’t visit any other Urgent Care clinic!

All Staff, nurses, PA great, front desk, Very personable, professional. Had PCR covid test. Very gentle done by nurse. Thank U for the care, professionalism during this awful covid pandemic. We ate vaccinated, but frustrated that so many people refusing to get covid vaccine or weat masks. Getting covid Vax to protect others, children. I Would recommend this urgent care. Thank U to all staff for what they cont to do with covid to help others. Get vaccinated people! Is awful to see those with covid & especially children with covid. This is NOT political!!! Is about the right thing to do to protect UR family, children, community.

My Wife & I had a good experience overall. We made appointments online & checked in when we arrived. We then had to wait about 20 minutes in the car. It was only about 10 minutes until the nurse came in once we got in the room and we got the tests that we came in to get. What took a long time was waiting for the Practitioner to come in and follow up on the test & examine is.

- Verified patient on 7/9

Everyone was extremely friendly! The waiting room and exam room were very nice and clean. Wait time wasn’t bad at all. Most important the nurse and ARPN ( I think I have that title correct) we’re excellent! He listened to every word I was telling and made me feel like he was willing to do whatever to make me feel better. I was there not because I was so sick with cold symptoms but for COVID testing because I share a home with my pregnant daughter and her family and no one on my visit made me feel in anyway like me I was wasting their time and I appreciated that so much! Thank you!

Came for rapid covid test which was negative and nurse sent off another sample to be tested at lab since I had symptoms of covid..nurse was nice during exam as well as assistant. However they never called back with results despite I left 2 voice mails on day 3 and 5 after the test sent off on sat..will not use that clinic again since no one followed up with my calls or with test results..I went to my pcp to have another covid test done as I needed to know if I could return to my clinic.

I will start off by saying I have used this urgent care a few times and have been extremely happy with the care we have received. However, this one is a different story. I made an appointment due to high fevers, body aches, and chest discomfort of 5 days. The sweet LPN who took care of me listened to my concerns. She decided to swab me for the flu. As she was taking my swab to get tested the APN opened the door to our room. She was speaking to the LPN she said “did you get a PCR on her, this is probably COVID, not the flu”. I had explained to the APN that I had just tested negative for COVID two days ago, that I really did not think that’s what this was. She got a rapid COVID test which was negative. She then said she would send it off for PCR and that it would probably be positive and that’s what we were dealing with. I asked her for a chest X-ray. She stated “your lungs sound fine”. She offered to draw blood work, I agreed. She sent us on our way telling us it was most likely COVID and that we would get the results tomorrow. My husband left from the urgent care and brought me to the ED where I am admitted for double pneumonia and having a sepsis work up. I’m glad I advocated for myself and didn’t settle for a COVID diagnosis. If I would of waited too much longer I’m scared about how much worse it would of gotten. I think it’s always wise to listen to your patients and not jump to one conclusion so fast ( and yes I have been fully vaccinated for COVID as well). But I am thankful for the sweet LPN who seemed as she was concerned!

I just left this urgent care after being sick for a good week. The staff took Exceptional care of me. But my LPN Whitney was absolutely the most amazing person and nurse I’ve ever encountered. She made sure I was comfortable and real just made me feel like she cared. Everyone knows with this COVID stuff going on going to hospital or urgent Care your kinda just ran thru like cattle at an auction. But not here so if you don’t feel well or need a COVID test go let Whitney LPNand michelle NP take care of you

I had to wait 3 hours to get an ear drop (I’m already on a steroid and antibiotic). It is understandable because of the sheer volume of patients. Nurse and Doctor were very approachable, fast and fantastic. My only complaint is that there were tons of patients coming in for covid tests, exposing everyone. After stepping in, they were instructed to go back to car and pull to the back of clinic to wait. I asked the receptionist if I could go to my car and be called when my turn came and she said if I wasn’t in the waiting room when my name was called, another name would be called (thus losing my spot). My suggestion is to 1) provide a phone number for covid check in to be done from vehicle and 2) allow other patients to wait in vehicle and be called when it is their turn to step into clinic.

I was hesitant about seeking healthcare today but so glad I did. After getting tested for the flu, I was diagnosed with FLU type A, I have a better understanding of my current symptoms I am experiencing and I can hopefully protect my family in my household from my illness. I just want to thank the nurses and David McCombs NP for their kindness and great bedside manners when I wasn’t feeling well. Thank you, Mary Koper

Didn’t have to wait very long to get back to a room to get treatment. I was directed by a lady over the phone to come in and go straight to room #6. I mean you would think they could at least show you to the room. When the nurse came in to get my vitals she was super rude and had no bed side manner. She never even spoke to me until after I asked her what my BP was. Even then she acted like she had rather not speak to me. When she came in she didn’t even have a mask or gloves on either. I was in there to get tested for Covid so I mean you would think that they would take better precautions for everyone than that. I definitely think this is something that needs to be addressed! Also used the restroom in the lobby which was completely disgusting! No toilet paper or paper towels and it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks.

This was my first time at this location and I had a wonderful experience! The facility is very clean and the front desk staff was super friendly. I was very nervous going in for my first(!) Covid test and Reba was wonderful at reassuring me it would not be that bad. She made me feel very at ease and was so easy to talk to while performing the rest of my tests. I will definitely be back to see her if I’m in need!

It was overwhelmingly busy as there was a line out the front door of mostly people waiting to be rapid tested for Covid. The woman working the front counter was overwhelmed and a bit frazzled with rude patients. It seemed that she could have used an extra set of hands to help her answer questions/scan ID cards and type in paperwork. I think that would remedy the situation. Otherwise it was a fabulous experience. This is my second time in and I plan to come back in the future. The nurse that saw me in the back and did my Covid test was patient, kind and wonderful.

I came in with a sore throat and a lose of voice. Assuming I had COVID or strep I decided to go to Baptist Health Urgent Care on Zero Street, Fort Smith AR. The nurse who took my blood pressure and swabbed for test was very nice. Sadly I didn’t get to catch her name. Though the nurse practitioner Scott was amazing during my appointment. He was very friendly, caring and professional. Unfortunately I was confirmed positive with COVID and there isn’t much you can do with a viral infection. He was nice enough to prescribe me some medication to help with my aching sore throat. The only downsides to my visit today was the wait time but when you have so many people walking in, you’re expected to wait longer. Also, the app seems to be glitched out, after I checked in I could see the wait list and what position I’m in. The app decides to not give me the link to check on it after an hour or so past. All in all, I had a wonderful experience. A reminder to all the health workers that you’re doing an amazing job!

Texarkana Lab Tests

Lab tests take samples of your blood, urine, saliva, and other bodily secretions, which are then analyzed in a lab to help doctors diagnose and treat certain illnesses. Lab tests can be used to diagnose an illness, detect changes in an existing condition, and monitor how your body responds to a therapy, among other things. They can also be used to monitor the progression of a disease or a set of diseases.

If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test. To see how you're responding to a drug or to check if you're at risk for certain diseases, lab tests may be performed.If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test.
