Incredible experience! The ma working reception was great. The doctor was amazing, caring, responsive, and helpful! I will definitely be going back to this location in the future and think the staff members deserve praise! The ma who checked me before the dr was also very kind and cheerful. Check in was easy and I appreciated them redoing my drs note to have the verbiage needed by my job.

Arrived at 10:40, just before the clinic got very busy. Next time I will begin the paperwork online, in advance, and arrive earlier. I got excellent care for lingering respiratory concerns, after having the flu. Even tho I had got this year's flu vax in September. I wish the people in the waiting area would wear masks. But hey, trumpo said it is all a hoax so here we go again.

What is the point of having an appointment when it doesn’t matter? I was scheduled for 11:50AM, walked in at 1135, just to be seen at 1pm. What is the incentive of making appointments if walk ins are being seen before me?

Seen for respiratory issue- thorough work up by HE NP. She was very knowledgeable and attentive.  Told me to f/u with my pulmonologist if symptoms worsen and told me how to use the medication she sent to pharmacy.  Worth the 15 min drive and 10/10 care here.  Highly recommended urgent care.

Massachusetts H Pylori Tests

An H. pylori test can be used to determine whether you have a bacterial infection caused by H. pylori. If you have signs of a digestive disease, your doctor may request this test so that you can be treated as soon as possible to avoid major complications. This test can also tell you if your current H. pylori infection therapy is working properly.
A breath test, blood test, stool test, and biopsy are among the H. pylori testing available.

Your doctor will have you ingest a specific chemical that your body converts to carbon dioxide during the breath test. After that, you'll exhale into a gadget that can detect the presence of H. pylori. Your doctor may prescribe a

Your doctor will ask you to produce a sample of feces for the stool test, which can reveal if you have an H. pylori infection or whether it has been effectively treated.

Your doctor will take a small sample of tissue from the lining of your stomach during the biopsy test. Because this test is more invasive than other H. pylori testing, it is normally done in a hospital or clinic. Your doctor will provide anesthesia to you and place you on an operating table.
