I went to Indigo for a second visit for the same ear infection. This time me I saw Michelle. She was wonderful. She listened to me, changed the medication and added one. After only two days I’m starting to feel a difference. The staff is always courteous, friendly and extremely efficient. My prescriptions are always called into the pharmacy even before I leave the office.  I really value this place. They bill my insurance and seldom make me wait more than a day or two to get in. I actually prefer it to my insurance physicians. BTW I was offered an appt in my network for an INFECTION in 4 months!  Unbelievable.

When I came down with sinus infection symptoms and freaked out that I could not get seen in my doctors office, I was very grateful to be able to get on an Indigo waitlist and then squeezed into be seen by an urgent care provider. Everyone was lovely, very friendly and professional. I was even impressed by the prompt care others received while I waited to be seen. Someone with a clearly injured leg/foot was immediately offered a wheel chair and taken back. (I knew I’d need to wait and it makes sense that someone with worse condition would get care first!). But I very much appreciated the great customer service and care I observed and myself also received. Once I got taken back, the nurse had great bedside manner. And then Dr. Lem was kind, quick but thorough, and got me assessed, treated and recommended follow up with a specialist. I very much appreciated the quality care I received! Honestly, my only frustration with the entire visit was the card reader went down, so I couldn’t pay. I can’t say how much I really appreciated the quality care that got me in and out on my way, though. Thanks to the whole staff and Dr. Lem!

We were told the wait should be 30-40 minutes, but it was much longer. The staff was nice, but seemed rushed and overworked. This office needs additional doctors/nurses.

Mary Bridge Children's Urgent Care is my favorite urgent care to go to. Convenient online scheduling, easy check-in process, fast wait times, concerns are addressed appropriately, friendly staff, and you're out in about an hour from start to finish. The only area that could be improved is if you have questions after your appointment, it's hard to get a hold of anyone, and then you don't get a call back. I highly recommend Mary Bridge Children's Urgent Care

I woke up this AM with UTI sx. My insurance sent me to Tran Urgent Care. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of scheduling, the care, and the prompt care as well. I would like to see an improved patient portal experience. The provider and staff were kind and knowledgeable.

I called due to my son having ear pain- they were booked up but scheduled me for the afternoon and said I could still try walking in. I got there and they very quickly checked me in and got us seen in under 5 minutes. The Dr did not keep us waiting for more than 5-10 minutes and was able to diagnose and get us out quickly. The dr was amazing with my 5 year old and made jokes and made it fun for him. They listened to our concerns and requests and I am very grateful for them! I would recommend anyone check them out.

I was able to make an appt online for the same day. Once I arrived, the check-in was easy and they got me back to my room quickly. The MA was super friendly and cordial. The provider was friendly and open to listen to my thoughts regarding the concern. Overall experience went really well.

Very easy to schedule appt for a same day. Was surprised by the fact that they are paperless and in order to view anything you have to download their app. It’s been 2 days and still no results, as for the medication you have to go on the appt and send it your self to the pharmacy otherwise you will not get it. Overall it was a good visit but it could have improved on some things for sure.

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 Seattle, Washington, 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.
