Everything is always super Fast and convient. I’m Unsure why they didn’t swab for strep. They did covid and flu and was negative. I was concerned for strep. I would have just liked confirmed diagnoses, that’s why i went. We are treating as strep, but would have liked to know for sure as the paperwork says pharyngitis, which is just a viral sore throat that wouldn’t be treated w antibiotics. I guess I should have pushed for the test.

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

Who Should Get Tested

Residents of Lithia, Florida, with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and pale skin may benefit from Folate Testing. Additionally, individuals with certain risk factors, such as poor dietary folate intake, malabsorption disorders, and pregnancy, may require testing.

Folate Testing is typically performed using a blood sample. The most common test is the serum folate test, which measures the level of folate in the blood. Another method is the red blood cell folate test, which assesses the folate levels inside red blood cells.

Interpreting the Results
