I hit the wrong time. I waited over 3 hours in the wait room. Another 30 plus minutes in the room. Due to the other afc not being open, when they were required to be open, the customers were rerouted to this afc. I was a walk-in. This meant I had to wait longer than usual. I only had sinus congestion and needed a work note. The staff was great. The doctor was great. The parenting of one of the children in the wait room was below standard. Wait time was awful but everything was of satisfactory. Thank you

This was my first ER visit at 49 years old. I was anxious about going, but could not be more pleased with my experience.   I was in and out within 4 hours, but it’s really my nurse Knox that made the experience a little less scary, a little more light hearted, and a lot more comfortable.  Thanks Knox!

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.

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.

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 .

Both my husband and I were sick. We came together. Thankful for the nice lady at check-in. I don't like doing things online, and it wasn't taking my insurance information. Would have preferred being offered the paper option first. Not everybody deals well with computers and tech, and having frustrating experiences with that stuff when you're sick is about enough to make me leave and just go to the ER. Anyway, we didn't wait long, and the young lady took us both back at the same time, which was very kind. Dr. Natalya Hines was very thorough and checked us both for the basics (flu, COVID, and strep). The medicine prescribed is helping; it's just taking us a while to recover. I brought us back to this location, because these folks saved my husband's life a couple years ago, when he didn't realize how serious his infection was then, and we had to take him to the ER.

Scheduling was fine. Filling out the ppr work online via solvs link was ridiculous. If you went to look up info in your phone ie a phone # all entered data was lost and had to start over. After 3 attempts and data disappearing its a flawed system.  The wait time in the waiting room, in the exam room, and for post visit pprwork is obscene. While the entire staff even the NP coffee clutched around one computer on facebook and other non related things on social media I was there 2 hrs and 45 min with a sick child.  There were 2 ppl in front of us and we had a simple ear infection.  The two in front of us had flu symptoms and URI symptoms. Nothing unusual or time consuming to treat. We were all chatting in the waiting room while we waited. There is absolutely no professionalism respect for others time or care for the horrible feeling patients comfort at all.   This particular group of staff needs to go back and learn the absolute basics of patient respect and professionalism.  People are there because they are sick and very uncomfortable they are not there for a social call or to waste their entire afternoon with a sick child.    The provider was fine and knowledgeable I would recommend her but not that practice as a whole in a million years!!   The entire experience was infuriating

Easy to make online appointment I was however disappointed with wait time in waiting room and in operatory after we were taken back I was there a total of 2 hours with a sick 5 year old. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Not sure I would visit there again unless wait time was significantly less. They may need more staff due to volume of patients on a Saturday morning.

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 Gantt, South Carolina, 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.
