I felt Check in was a little too repetitive. Filling out the kiosk first, then filling out the same information paper clipped to clip board. Waiting time in the office for the Dr., I felt was quite long. The shot I received was nice and speedy. Not hurting or being felt. I liked this location and the staff. Would recommend. Thank you.

New to the area. I started having foot pain this morning. Pain continued throughout the day. I called and the young lady told me to get there my 7:30. When I arrived she was so polite. I could barely walk, but she came over helped me to get checked in and took my ID and Insurance information. Called back very quickly. The young ladies in the back were all worried about me trying to walk on my foot. The doctor was so soft spoken and really listen to me and what was going on. I really appreciate the professionalism and concern from everyone in the office. Thank you all for taking care of my needs.

Was able to get in quickly, desk staff was nice, but they called my prescription into the wrong pharmacy and I had to drive quite a ways to get it.The doctor that came in literally was in the room one minute, I had questions that weren’t answered. I felt like she was already out the door. Very impersonal.

I had just went to my doctor on Monday because I had a scheduled appointment, told him I was hurting since last Thursday and I was taking Tylenols for my pain. I told him my back and side was hurting and I couldn’t sleep for those nights. He. Over looked me and my pain. I told the nurse before the doctor came in the room, I told the doctor how I was feeling, as he sent out I asked about my pain, go they will take care of me. When I went to pick up my medicine, no medicine for my pain. This was Monday. I went to Walmart and got pain pads for my side and back. I couldn’t take the pain and to Urgent Care. Wow! The nurse was nice and very knowledgeable. Then the doctor came in and gave me a  urine test. Told me two things gave me a prescription and come back in three days if I am still in pain.  Thank the Lord.

This was absolutely best experience I have had at an urgent care facility, from the check-in to being discharged, it was a great experience. I felt everyone cared and sincerely wanted me to get better. Nurse Practitioner Nikidra Arthur was great examining me to diagnose resolution to get me better. She has the best bed side manners and great sense of human. Thanks to the staff for making this a great experience.

Went back after four days since my symptoms had not improved. Saw a different doctor this time. She was very professional requested. Blood drawn and chest Xray.Was taken to the Xray room waited ten minutes while the technician was getting the machine ready. Then was told to go back to my waiting room.Cuz, it was going to take some time. After waiting thirty minutes, I got up and asked what was going on., I was told the x ray machine was broken. I was then given my paperwork with my prescriptions that had been called in. I left. With only half of what the doctor had ordered. I felt this was very poor service on this facility.

About Chickenpox Testing

Chickenpox Testing is a diagnostic test used to detect the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox. Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection characterized by itchy, red spots and blisters all over the body. Chickenpox Testing is important for confirming the diagnosis, especially in cases with atypical symptoms, and for guiding appropriate medical management.

Who Should Get Tested

If you reside in Hartselle, Alabama, and have symptoms suggestive of chickenpox, such as fever, headache, and a rash that progresses to itchy blisters, Chickenpox Testing is recommended. Testing is also valuable for individuals with a history of exposure to someone with chickenpox to assess their immunity status.

Tests Included in Chickenpox Testing

Chickenpox Testing typically involves:

  • VZV IgM Antibody Test: Detects specific antibodies produced early in the course of a chickenpox infection.
  • VZV IgG Antibody Test: Detects antibodies that indicate past infection or immunity to chickenpox.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Chickenpox Testing results involves assessing the presence of VZV-specific antibodies in the blood. Positive results for VZV IgM indicate a recent or active infection, while positive results for VZV IgG indicate immunity due to past infection or vaccination.

Importance of Chickenpox Testing

Chickenpox Testing is important for:

  • Confirming the diagnosis of chickenpox
  • Identifying individuals at risk of complications, especially pregnant women, newborns, and those with weakened immune systems
  • Preventing the spread of chickenpox to others
  • Assessing immunity in individuals exposed to the virus for appropriate management

Following the Test

After Chickenpox Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and provide guidance on managing the infection and preventing its transmission to others. Vaccination may be recommended for susceptible individuals to prevent future chickenpox infections.

Chickenpox Testing is a valuable tool in Hartselle, Alabama, to promptly diagnose and manage chickenpox cases, thereby reducing the risk of complications and containing the spread of the virus.
