Went in with UTI, seen by nurse and doctor in a timely manner. Given a shot of antibiotics and a prescription for more.. However neither the nurse or the doctor introduced themselves, even though their names were written on the white board. Also nurse didn’t take BP. Otherwise, visit was very good.

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.
