Scheduling was easy via Solv, but no coordination between Solv and the office resulted in multiple duplicate bookings and unacceptable wait time.  2:30 appointment confirmed by Solv, actual check-in 4:55.  Staff was friendly and courteous, but front desk staff was overwhelmed.  Provider and staff were prompt once I was checked in and appointment was quick and efficient.  Care and bedside manner were top notch.

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

Scheduling on Sunday for a Monday morning appointment was convenient & easy. Upon arrival, check-in was a breeze as they already had me in their system; wait-time was minimal & all staff were professional & friendly. The Doctor was thorough & clearly explained my condition; prescriptions were sent to my preferred pharmacy immediately & available the same day. Definitely recommend MultiCare Indigo in Uptown Gig Harbor.

This is on a Saturday, I had very badly infected thumb with great pain I had been awake most of the night and was exhausted when I arrived I was greeted by a extremely friendly and professional medical staff. There was a wait time,but I was told that I could go home and they would text me when it time for my appointment and I could return. I was able to go home and rest. I was texted a about 2hrs later, when I arrived back again I was seeing the Doctor after a less than 10min wait . He was calm and professional and friendly, he was able to diagnosis my problem with my thumb and set a course of treatment. This was a positive experience, the fact that I was able to go home and return making the wait time seem considerably less was a bonus. Great staff Great experience.

Unbelievable care and kindness shown by everyone at the Ruston Indigo! I called and was told I would have to make an appointment for the next day, filled out all the information on line, very user friendly! I received a call that evening and was told they had room for me. Ten minutes later I was being seen. X-rays and care was a breeze and I was home in 2 hours! A well oiled machine. Thank you Multicare for staffing and providing such a wonderful facility. Kudos to all 🙏

So convenient to go on the phone app and find an appointment! Got in early and I don't think I waited 5 minutes before I was taken back. Was in and out in probably 15 minutes or less with a prescription sent to my Pharmacy.

Realized that I had symptoms of a UTI. I called for an appointment and was able to be seen within an hour. Check-in was easily done online before I arrived. When I arrived at office I received a friendly welcome and was seen within minutes. My care was provided by Brandy Zerby, who was very kind, competent, and professional. This is my second time utilizing Indi Urgent Care and I am incredibly pleased with the service I have received at both visits. Excellent service!

Ran out of prescription meds 2 weeks before my new Primary Care Physician appointment. Went to Indigo Urgent care for help. Stellar staff particularly Medical Assistant Meghan. Walk-in wait time of 1-2 hours turned out to be 20 minutes. Dr. Calvin Yi was super friendly and took great care of me. Wonderful experience! Super grateful and I highly recommend.

I was able to schedule around noon for an appt. around 5:15. I arrived at the appointed time and waited less than 5 mins when I was called into the suite by CeCe. I have seen her before and she is always pleasant and efficient. PA Jen was top notch, she listened to my complaint, checked my meds and trusted that I knew my body. She quickly decided on a course of treatment and I was on my way. Checkin was super fast and it was fun to see familiar faces in the treatment area. I had my scripts in hand and was on my way home in under a hour. Thank you all.

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 Steilacoom, 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.
