I have been to this particular urgent care several times and I always have a wonderful experience from the person that you meet when you walk in the door to the support staff and doctor. This was the first time I ever had a negative experience and it was only due to the behavior of the person welcoming the patients in. She was Kurt and abrasive, and when I was already feeling poorly she made me feel worse with her attitude. I’m very glad this was not the first time I’ve ever entered your facility otherwise, I would not be returning

The nurse practitioner who saw me had also seen me on a prior medical issue. And, just like that one, she got this one right. I was starting to feel better after just a few hours of taking the prescribed antibiotics and taking a long nap. Woke up this morning feeling a ton better.

My daughter had an incident which caused this unwanted visit. As I explained to the check-in client svc, I felt a bit judged. Even my older daughter mentioned feeling judgment. We waited for awhile and I asked for my ID and ins card back. I was told that she wasn't finished with them however she had them laying to the side. We waited longer and another couple walked in. After that couple was finished checking in, I walked up to the window and noticed the receptionist was holding his id and ins card. My cards were still laying to the side. I asked her about it and she said their walk in was an emergency however they sat in the waiting room with no one coming out for them as if it was an emergency. She finally entered my information after I switched seats and watched her. We were called back and I questioned the reason for being placed in a very small room . One person walked in after we did only to have suture removal and was called back before us. Ellen and Alisha were very pleasant however checkin staff not a pleasant experience. I felt she purposely delayed putting my information in .

I felt that I was relapsing from a respiratory illness. My wife took me in to get checked. I waited very little time to be seen. The doctor diagnosed the problem quickly and sent in the prescriptions I needed. Everyone was professional and also very friendly.

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.
