I started experiencing bladder pains and realized I was getting a UTI. Being on vacation and from out of town, I didn’t know where to get help. I went online and found the clinic and I am so happy I went to AFC Urgent Care. The receptionist could not have been more helpful and the assistant who took my vitals was so professional and kind. The doctor was so thorough and made sure she addressed every concern. My medication was called in and ready in less than a half hour. This was such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this urgent care. Thank you for taking such great care of me!!

I thought  might have an infection so went in to have it check out. I was greeted with a smile and the very nice lady at the desk was very helpful in assisting me with my check-in. The healthcare staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I did have an infection and was given instructions and a prescription which was sent to the pharmacy of my choice. I am so thankful for the help, it sure made my vacation away from home a good experience. Based on my experience I would recommend them.

There was a backup with the radiologist reading the x ray. The attending told us that she would call us with the results. We never received the call and had to call the office the next day to find out the results. This was our only complaint

Went to bed Thursday night not feeling well. Friday still not feeling well so I scheduled an appointment with urgent care for Saturday morning at 8:10 am. I checked in from my vehicle outside that was extremely convenient. There was someone inside checking in while I walked in the door to be seated in the lobby. Another person walked in and both were taken back prior to me. Mind you I do have an appointment at 8:10 am and it is currently 8:20 am. I know there was an appointment, but I did not get called back until about 8:45. This was unacceptable for me. Also, I had met my deductible and was still charged a copay of $119. I can't wait to get my refund, and it sounds like I will have to wait in excess of 45 days. Mind you it did not take this long for them to swipe my card. On a more positive note, the staff is absolutely amazing. The provider took really good care of me and explained everything to me in a way that was easy for me to understand

My husband had been in a few days earlier tested negative for Flu, Covid, and RSV but chest x-ray showed a little pneumonia. I started coughing Thursday night so I went straight in on Friday hoping to head it off at the pass but the doctor ran no test, said she didn’t hear wheezing even though I was and every the xray tech heard it. She gave me some cough pills and sent me on my way. I have continued to deteriorate now having sore throat and on and off spiking a low fever. Not impressed with the care I received. The PA my husband had was far more attentive. Update: The head doctor called me personally because he found this unacceptable and had me go back in for testing. I tested positive for Influenza A so I really appreciated his due diligence to get me answers so I have adjusted my overall score to reflect his efforts. Thank you Dr. Shital-Hiten Upadhyay.

I had to visit this facility yesterday and was seen by Pete Baker, PA-C. He was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. He took his time and listened to my concerns. I would highly recommend him. I found the facility very clean also. M.Rich

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.

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.
