Everything was exceptional except for the wait time.  I waited almost two hours but I guess you have no control over how busy you are.

This place is usually my go to urgent care clinic but, I don't know what was wrong with the secretary and the doctor yesterday. They had ill attitudes and the doctor did not prescribe any cough medication for my son even though he showed every symptom to need a prescription. She was not attentive to him, acting hurriedly to get out of the room. I was very disappointed. This place is usually really great but not yesterday. They could have dropped the attitude at the door. It was not necessary to bring it to work.

I thought by me making an appointment I would not have the long wait time like the ER. It was almost 2 hours later that I get called back. They should take the booking site down and just say walk in first come first serve.Other than that everything else was great.

Fell Thursday am while doing some cleaning. Fell on my right arm, immediate swelling & marked pain. My daughter insisted I see a Dr so we decided to go to Urgent Care. No problem getting checked in but wait time for X-rays & seeing Dr was to long. Staff all helpful & friendly. When the Dr came in she went over X-ray results. It was a severe radial fx C impaction & a sharp splintered piece, told me what needed to be done& that I should go to the ER right away. She presented to be very competent & empathetic. Yes I would.

About Gout Testing

Gout Testing is a diagnostic test used to detect elevated levels of uric acid in the blood or joint fluid. Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation and severe pain. Gout Testing helps healthcare providers diagnose and manage this painful condition.

Who Should Get Tested

If you reside in East End, Arkansas, and experience recurrent episodes of joint pain, swelling, and redness, Gout Testing is recommended. Gout is more common in men, postmenopausal women, and individuals with a family history of the condition. People with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease or hypertension, may also be at higher risk for gout.

Tests Included in Gout Testing

Gout Testing may include the following tests:

  • Uric Acid Blood Test: Measures the concentration of uric acid in the blood. Elevated uric acid levels can be a sign of gout or other conditions.
  • Joint Fluid Analysis: In cases of joint swelling, a sample of fluid may be withdrawn from the affected joint and analyzed for the presence of uric acid crystals.

Interpreting the Results

Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood or the presence of uric acid crystals in joint fluid confirm the diagnosis of gout. A healthcare provider will consider the patient's symptoms, medical history, and test results to make an accurate diagnosis.

Managing Gout

Gout is a chronic condition that requires long-term management to prevent recurrent flares and joint damage. Treatment for gout may include:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Making dietary changes, such as limiting purine-rich foods (e.g., red meat, seafood), and maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce uric acid levels.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs and medications that lower uric acid levels (e.g., allopurinol, febuxostat) may be prescribed to manage gout symptoms and prevent future flares.
  • Fluid Intake: Ensuring adequate fluid intake can help promote the excretion of uric acid from the body.

Following the Test

After Gout Testing confirms a diagnosis of gout, healthcare providers will work with individuals to develop a personalized treatment plan to manage gout symptoms and reduce the risk of future flares.

Gout Testing plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing gout, allowing individuals to find relief from pain and maintain joint health.
