Walk in with sore throat and coughing low grade temp. Signed in on my phone and someone did finally come out ( not too long a wait) was seen in about 30 minutes. Staff very nice and polite and seemed to enjoy being there on a holiday weekend. Possible diagnosis given, scripts called in and culture redone to send to outside lab. All in all a pleasant visit.

Woke up this morning with dizziness and loss of balance along with night sweats, insomnia and body aches. Sign in was easy. I was taken to the back to get vitals done. I provided a list of all the medications I already take to the person taking my vitals. I was taken to a room afterwards and an assistant came in and swabbed my nostrils for the flu and COVID in which the results were negative. I also did a urine test. Doctor Jasmine Hudson, NP, came in and asked a few questions and advised me that I was dehydrated and was going through menopause. She advised she could prescribe me something for sleep and menopause. I was prescribed Venlafaxine 25 mg tablets and Hydroxyzine palpate 50 mg capsules. I had already provided a list of medications I take to the lady doing my vitals. The two medications the Doctor  prescribed for me cannot be taken with the fluoxetine I already take. My pharmacist made me aware of that when I was picking up the prescriptions. I’m not sure if the doctor had read my chart at all. I ended up not buying the Venlafaxine and just purchased the Hydroxyzine. The pharmacist said not to take it and the Fluoxetine together at the same time to see if any side effects would result. I will try this just to see and stop taking it if it results in any side effects.  I’m not satisfied with the prescriptions I was provided due to the prescriptions I already take. I do not recommend being seen by Dr. Jasmine Hudson, NP because I feel she overlooked the prescription Fluoxetine I take and prescribed another antidepressant that she said was for menopause. I recommend the provider but not the doctor/NP.

Had a back ache for a couple of days then welts appeared.  I was able to walk in & be seen same day for a definitive diagnosis of what I thought was going on. Sign in is all online & you have to do it all yourself & waiting time to be seen initially was @20 minutes & once n a room it was about an hour. There were only 2 patients in the facility. So wait time was kinda long but OK. Grateful to be seen! Definitely would recommend.

As a VERY complex patient with an extensive health history involving Leukemia and a Bone Marrow Transplant, getting a simple cold can be scary.  Mainly because trusting just any doctor to evaluate your simple cold means they are treading on very thin ice because they weren't there during all of your journey to know how delicate you are.  This facility just opened a few weeks ago and when I became sick with sinus junk, I didn't want to go to the ER.  So, I chose to be seen here in Chelsea.  The doctor was VERY attentive to my explanation of my history and was very cautious but thorough.  I felt like I was in very good hands.  I will be returning should I have future health issues.

Came in with chest pain and short of breath.  Was seen with very little wait time.  Waited very little in exam room. Each staff member seemed to care about me and their job.  Was a very good experience.

The receptionist on the right checked me in. She had a very unpleasant demeanor and was not kind in the least. The lady on the left greeted everyone with a smile and showed kindness and respect to everyone. They are your first impression, it makes a difference. The nurse was incredible!  Very attentive and personable. The NP was just ok, nothing good or bad to say about her.  Overall a good experience. I was in and out quickly.

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. Testing for folate levels helps identify deficiencies that can lead to various health issues.
