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.

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.

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.

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.

About Folate Testing

Folate Testing, also known as folic acid or vitamin B9 testing, is a diagnostic test that measures the level of folate in the blood. Folate is an essential B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in cell division, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell production.
