Taylor was super awesome. She carries herself in a way that is the most perfect balance of professional and knowledgeable, while also feeling like a friend. She’s easily the best healthcare provider I’ve been to in AGES. On the ride home following my visit I was telling partner that she's the only provider I’ve genuinely been interested in for my PCP. He and I both will be getting care in the future! :)

I got a dot physical. I did not understand the paper work that dmv asked for. I called back and the person who answered the phone took the time to look up what I needed. He told me what I needed to do.

The only reason I didn’t give wait time a 5 star review is because I had scheduled my appointment and did my registration online and I still had to wait about 30 minutes. I expected to wait about 15 minutes but not 30. I probably could have just walked in and waited the same amount of time because I was the only one in the waiting room when I got there. However, on the plus side, I was still called back and attended to promptly before the others who checked in after me were called back.

I have been having issues with extreme dizziness, earache, headaches, nausea, I finally decided to go to Dr to see what was going on and I was informed that I had inner ear. The staff was very friendly and efficient and the nurse and Dr. did an awesome job getting my ear irrigated enough to finally see there was no damage to my ear drum. Thank you all👍

I already was diagnosed with telemedicine but since I was already taking Zofran for my nausea they refused to prescribe me anything but ibuprofen and my symptoms got so bad that I was considering going to the emergency room, tonsils, throat, neck, jaw were all swollen, gums were bleeding, completely lost my appetite and my voice completely, I didn’t even make an Appointment. Didn’t even tell them what I had or how much pain I was in and was seen so quick, even being a new patient walk in!

I was in and out quickly. Staff was great. Problems not resolved. I know arthritis pain. Have had it for years what's going on with me is different. Was told if my thumbs were outta joint they would be bruising. My daughter's elbow was popped outta joint two times with no bruising. So I am dealing with unbearable pain. Will not go back to this facility. My health is not a joke. Do not recommend Colleen Malone. Got x-rays if my hands somewhere else, my thumbs were separated from my hands. So her diagnosis was not right due to just guessing and not taking my injury seriously 😒.

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 Signal Mountain, Tennessee, 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.
