Scheduling was fine. Filling out the ppr work online via solvs link was ridiculous. If you went to look up info in your phone ie a phone # all entered data was lost and had to start over. After 3 attempts and data disappearing its a flawed system.  The wait time in the waiting room, in the exam room, and for post visit pprwork is obscene. While the entire staff even the NP coffee clutched around one computer on facebook and other non related things on social media I was there 2 hrs and 45 min with a sick child.  There were 2 ppl in front of us and we had a simple ear infection.  The two in front of us had flu symptoms and URI symptoms. Nothing unusual or time consuming to treat. We were all chatting in the waiting room while we waited. There is absolutely no professionalism respect for others time or care for the horrible feeling patients comfort at all.   This particular group of staff needs to go back and learn the absolute basics of patient respect and professionalism.  People are there because they are sick and very uncomfortable they are not there for a social call or to waste their entire afternoon with a sick child.    The provider was fine and knowledgeable I would recommend her but not that practice as a whole in a million years!!   The entire experience was infuriating

I hit the wrong time. I waited over 3 hours in the wait room. Another 30 plus minutes in the room. Due to the other afc not being open, when they were required to be open, the customers were rerouted to this afc. I was a walk-in. This meant I had to wait longer than usual. I only had sinus congestion and needed a work note. The staff was great. The doctor was great. The parenting of one of the children in the wait room was below standard. Wait time was awful but everything was of satisfactory. Thank you

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 Fair Play, South Carolina, 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.
