My son was sick and I called for an appointment but was told it was walk-in only. I took him to the clinic expecting at least an hour or two. Fortunately as soon as the cumbersome paperwork was finished he was seen in a short time. Online check in seems very long. All Staff were very kind and professional.

I was very impressed. The staff were all courteous and helpful. The P.A gave several useful suggestions for addressing my dry, sore throat. Most of all, I appreciated being able to make an appointment. The urgent care centers I have visited in the past did not offer appointments and sometimes i waited many hours to be seen. Today I was in and out in 40 minutes. I will definitely use  Priority Urgent Care again.

I’m visiting from out of state and needed to see a Dr/Pa Making the appointment was easy, was able to fill the paper work on line, that always speeds things up. The young lady who checked me in was friendly and professional. Ms Grant who went over my issue was thorough and professional .  I would suggest this Priority Urgent Care and when visiting again if Im in need for medical care I will return.

I've had to visit urgent care for various ailments, and every time, I have received compassionate care. They take patients' safety seriously - as an immunocompromised patient, I've always felt secure about the cleanliness of the facility and the sanitary protocols are followed by staff well. Hopefully that won't change now that they've teamed up with UMass; UMass hospitals are a horror show, esp. Memorial in Worc. BIG MRSA problem there but they hide it from the patients!

About Iron Testing

Iron Testing is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of iron in the blood. Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Testing for iron levels helps assess iron deficiency or iron overload, both of which can have significant health implications.

Who Should Get Tested

Residents of East Brookfield, Massachusetts, with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, and shortness of breath may benefit from Iron Testing. Individuals with certain risk factors, such as chronic blood loss, poor dietary iron intake, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, may also require testing.

Test Methods for Iron

Iron Testing typically involves measuring various components in the blood, including:

  1. Serum Iron: This measures the amount of iron circulating in the blood.
  2. Transferrin and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): These tests assess the body's capacity to bind and transport iron.
  3. Ferritin: This test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in cells and reflects iron levels in the body.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Iron Testing results involves analyzing the levels of iron, transferrin, TIBC, and ferritin. Abnormalities in these values may indicate iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.

Importance of Iron Testing

Iron Testing is important for:

  • Diagnosing iron deficiency anemia
  • Evaluating iron metabolism and storage in the body
  • Assessing the response to iron supplementation or treatment

Following the Test

After Iron Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and recommend appropriate interventions based on the test findings. Treatment options may include iron supplementation, dietary changes, and addressing the underlying cause of iron imbalance.
