Follow-visit for blisters on both feet. Very sensitive to touch this morning. Made an appointment just 30 minutes out. Checkin was immediate. Placed in room quickly. Nurse took vitals and checked my feet. Doctor came in and examined my feet. Determined a treatment plan. Nurse did the bandage and wraps. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Excellent.

Booked my appointment online for a same day visit, super easy and helpful. Got a few reminders even though I schedules same day which was nice as well. The front desk seemed like she didn’t want to be there at all, she was on Instagram while I was getting checked in and didn’t talk much. The MA and the provider were extremely nice and friendly, was a great experience with them.  Would definitely come back

Woke up with shingles symptoms, about 7 am. I was able to make an 8:30 am appointment. Staff checked me in efficiently and politely. The Assistant took my vitals, while being pleasant and upbeat; and clarified where to have a prescription sent, if applicable The doctor was thorough, diagnosed shingles, told me about the treatment, and asked if I had any questions.

I highly recommend this office. It is physician owned by former ER doctors. My daughter had a titanium ring stuck on her finger and Dr.Truang was great! He was determined to get this ring off! He was patient, funny and did a great job. Because of how difficult it was to get the ring off, he could have easily sent me to the emergency room, which would have cost me $500 out of pocket!

I came to MD Urgent Care with back spasms at 8 pm Sunday thankful they were open until 9. There was no one in the waiting room. The receptionist was very friendly. When Pashi came to get me, she realized I needed help because of my spasms. She was so kind, patient, friendly and helpful during my whole visit. Dr. Flores was very thorough with his exam of my back while Pashi helped me. I had a positive experience at MD Urgent Care from the moment I entered the building.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
