Nice and capable staff for Covid 19 test. Very busy, so a bit of a wait for callbacks and when at site, and needed to call at site to get staff to come to car. Signed up for antibody test beforehand but not available when I got there. I am glad because the test is up to $200, depending on how much insurance covers. Call insurance first for sure.

The facility on rte 125 north andover was fine once I was seen by the healthcare provider and I have nothing negative regarding the care. BUT the male individual who "sits" at the front reception desk needs to Go. He has zero customer service skills and is clueless and very rude regarding his patient-interaction. He told me "check yourself in over there ( at the kiosk), because I'm busy; so if you don't want to do it yourself, you'll have to wait, because I'm doing something now". I asked what about the other "receptionist" sitting near him. He said: "She's eating, so you'll have to wait; or go some place else". I would like to know who hires people like these? One is "busy eating" [ at front desk] so she can't or won't accommodate checking me in;;; he us busy with "something",,,,so if I don't like being treated in such a derogatory manner by these two morons...he told me I can "go some place else". ! Wow, just Wow. If this is all they can find to "sit" at front desk....I have a suggestion: please have no one "sit" at front desk and get paid for doing nothing. Since there is availability to do self-check-in....then just do away with these two useless airheads.

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.

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.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

According to the CDC, anyone who has been exposed to the virus, has engaged in high-risk behaviors such as sharing needles or unprotected sex, or has chronic liver disease should get tested for hepatitis. Additionally, those born to a hepatitis-infected mother, or individuals born between 1945 and 1965, a demographic with a higher incidence rate, should also consider testing.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial as it enables early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of severe liver damage. According to the Mayo Clinic, undiagnosed and untreated hepatitis can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and even death. Moreover, knowing your hepatitis status can help prevent the spread of the virus to others.

The increase in hepatitis cases in Lowell is higher than the national average, highlighting the need for increased awareness and testing in the area.

Risk factors related to hepatitis in Lowell
