Brought my granddaughter in for fever and so throat.  Staff was great !!  Friendly and caring.  Scheduling an appointment on line was very easy.  Our wait time to get into a room to be seen, in my opinion, was unsatisfactory.  We had an 11:00 appointment and never go into a room till almost 12:30.  Because of the staff I would use this urgent care again.  Hopefully the wait would be better.

I came in for suspected strep throat (my child had just tested positive and I was a few days ahead of her in terms of symptoms. The doctor noted my throat was acutely red and looked like typical strep. The rapid test did not gather enough of a sample and barely touched my throat / back of mouth and came back negative. I was sent home without a prescription for antibiotics and told to come back (for another copay of course) in a few days. I went elsewhere, tested positive same day, and was given a prescription. Additionally, your urgent care wanted to test me for other illnesses, despite my only exposure being strep, and my symptoms being exactly the symptoms of strep. I felt like a number and a copay, and was rushed out the door. I was really excited about this urgent care opening near my house, but now I’m reluctant to return.

The staff were extremely patient and sweet! I showed up rather close to closing, and they were very polite. I was in an out in less than half an hour and I feel much better about my health.

My daughter had a UTI on a holiday weekend.  We were able to walk in without an appointment and our wait was not very long. The staff was amazing starting with the receptionist right through to the nurses, Lab Tech and Doctor. They were friendly, kind, patient, efficient, very helpful and informative. They anticipated our needs and were extremely welcoming. Sarah went home with the treatment she needed and a big smile on her face. So did I.   We would highly recommend AFC to anyone looking for medical care. It was the best emergency care experience we ever received.

Had a horseback riding accident that left me with a sizable laceration on my leg. Drove myself to AFC and was in and out with 7 stitches in 45 minutes. Everyone was sweet and helpful. Nurse Practitioner Emily Zielinski was skilled, efficient, and kind. I would definitely recommend this provider.

My review is for telemedicine though I felt they were helpful when I visited the urgent care a few times. I had been prescribed many antibiotics before with Reliant and other telemedicine Teladoc. Azithromycin, Cipro could not cure my infection. Despite people would not believe it if I had throat infection or not, Teladoc gave me Keflex and it helped me but it did not cure me completely. Finally, Reliant prescribed me Bactrim for an insect bite on my spine which was not that bad but I insisted. Lucky for me. Despite Bactrim and Cipro are not good for my kidneys, Bactrim has cured my throat after 7 days. I am not planning to take Bactrim again in the future, hope I will not get infected again. I still gargle with saltwater too.

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.
