After a long wait the care was worth wait and justified the time that is carefully spent on each patient. DOCS on East Main Street, Bridgeport, CT is the Best for Urgent Care!

The wait was long, which I was well aware of. The nurses were nice but seemed stressed seemed stressed and overwhelmed. The healthcare provider was treating me virtually thought an iPad, which was a little weird.  Here’s where I had issues: when I told the healthcare provider my symptoms, he ordered tests for the flu and Covid and then  prescribed me antibiotics before know the results of the tests. I was told that they would call me an hour after my appointment to let me know the results of the tests (which they never did). At that point I had already gotten my antibiotics from my pharmacy and started taking them. I quickly noticed my symptoms progressively get worst and my fever kept getting higher. I then got an email with my test results and turns out I have the Flu A stain and if you know anything about antibiotics, you are not supposed to take those with a viral infection because it can have a slew of negative effects on your health and worsen your viral symptoms. I tried calling the location I went to twice to get more info about why no one called me when my results came in and why I was prescribed the wrong medication/no one called me to tell me to start taking the antibiotics.  I ended up calling my primary and he felt bad I had such a negative experience and then prescribed the correct medication to take for the flu.

Came in thinking I had strep throat. I have covid. No meds given or input as to current guidelines for quarantining, etc.--but I must admit I forgot to ask until I got home. Perhaps a hangout/some paperwork would have been nice

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.

Following the Test

After Folate Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and recommend appropriate interventions based on the test findings. Treatment options may include dietary changes, folate supplementation, or further investigation into the underlying cause of the deficiency.
