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.

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.

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.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

Anyone who has been exposed to the virus, either through sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth, should get tested for hepatitis. This also includes people who have a high risk of exposure, such as healthcare workers, people who travel to countries with high rates of hepatitis, and those with a history of drug use. According to the CDC, people with certain medical conditions, including liver disease, HIV, or anyone on long-term hemodialysis, should also get tested.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial as it allows for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of severe liver damage and preventing the spread of the virus to others. According to the CDC, early detection can also help prevent the development of liver cancer, which is often associated with hepatitis infections.
