Booked a 4:00 appointment but waited 50 minutes. Everyone was very nice. But, the bathroom had a bunch of red residue from tape or something else all over

My son who is autistic barely tells his symptoms.  I was able to make an appointment with ease using the App and got an appointment for the same day I needed it.  Dr Fung was very nice and understood my son's condition.   We waited almost nothing.  I highly recommend this place.

Greeted immwdiatly when I walked thru the door and proceeded to the exam room within five minutes. The staff introduced themselves to me as soon as we met walking in the door. Katie, the physicians assistant, awesome PA!! Very knowledgeable, had great “ bedside manner.” Ask more questions about my medical history and then dealled into what she felt we needed to get into today. Truly felt comfortable with everything that happened from the time I walked through the door to the time I walked out the door. Highly highly recommend this office and staff. Thanks for a wonderful visit! Bobbie. Cantu

I am from out of state visiting in the area. I chose this facility from reading the reviews and roughly knew the area of the location. I made an online appointment. From the moment I walked into the facility, being seen and treated, I have nothing but praise and respect for the staff as well as the care I received. I’m this day and age and just visiting with having an unfortunate reason to be seen/treated I was completely satisfied. A little more pricey than I expected but what can I say? Thank you just the same for your professionalism.

Came in for an appointment and was seen almost instantly. I had to wait no longer than 5 minutes which is extremely quick compared to other offices I been to. The staff is very friendly and helped answer any questions I had. And scheduling an appointment is very easy it only took a few minutes to upload my information. I would definitely recommend this provider!

The attending doctor was very efficient and understanding.  I ended up with an injection that stopped severe itching within 15 minutes of leaving the facility.  Her decision was right on.  I found the entire staff to be very warm.  Excellent health care.

After visiting Carbon about 10 days ago for an ear canal that was clogged with wax, my symptoms returned (ear pain, moist discharge from the ear canal.) So, unable to get an appointment with my PCP, I scheduled an appointment at Carbon. This time a different doctor saw me. As soon as she entered the room and asked me what was going on and learned that I had been using carbon oxide drops to try and re-clear my ear, she berated me and told me that I should not do that. She berated me over and over, like I was a stupid person, which put me off guard and had the effect of shutting me up. Then she looked in my ears and pronounced me to be healthy… nothing wrong. It felt like she wanted to be done with me. I told her that I had pain in my ear (to which she interrupted “take Advil”) and that every morning I woke up with a moist and slightly not nice smelling moist discharge coming from my ear. I asked if this is something that could be solved with antibiotics or steroids. She said she could give me prednisone “if I wanted” as if I would be the one to make the prescribing decision. Then I told her about the discharge and she said that she could give me some antibiotic drops, and that I should take Guifenesen. The doctor made very little effort to understand my issue and symptoms, and she had a pretty awful bedside manner. I would not want to see this doctor again. I left having zero sense of resolution, and zero confidence in the treatment plan she gave me. I guess I will try to see my PCP or go to an ENT. This was an awful waste of time and money. She prescribed antibiotic ear drops, and did not prescribe the prednisone.

My husband & I tested positive for COVID this AM. We both were able to very conveniently make online appointments for medical evaluations within 30 minutes of our requests. The UC Village-Albany Urgent Care clinic is modern and attractive with highly efficient, very welcoming, friendly, professional & personable administrative and medical staffs. All of the medical personnel have very kind and empathetic bedside manners and listened very well to (and heard!) and were responsive to our medical concerns and questions. We both were in and out of our appointments within 30 minutes. We are very appreciative and truly grateful to have your clinic so conveniently located near our home. Please keep up the great work!

My soar throat turned into an ear ache and sinus congestion. Looked for an urgent care clinic nearby and found Instant Urgent Care. Had taken my daughter there once before but she needed an x-ray they couldn’t provide so didn’t experience the full service. Glad I went back. Got a little lucky in that there was only one patient ahead of me. Everything was smooth and efficient. In and out in less than 30 minutes.

I tried other clinics like CVS minute clinic not professional and hard to understand language barriers from the caregivers that we’re not doctors that could not show me a professional exam. so , I went to you guys which I was given a five stars exam a professional doctor in a man that has years of wisdom to conduct an examination he does as a pro doctor and was easy to trust . I felt a trust of a doctor of a profession not just a lab that does it for cash with nurses.

Menlo Park Mono Tests

A mono test can be used to identify mononucleosis, which is an infectious viral disease. Mono is caused by several viruses, the most common of which being the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Mono can afflict persons of any age, although it affects teenagers and young adults the most frequently and visibly. Mono will develop in one out of every four teenagers and adults infected with EBV.

If you have mono symptoms, your doctor may order or perform a mono test for you. Mono symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck or armpits, which are quite similar to the flu.

Mono tests come in two forms: the monospot test and the EBV antibody test. In the blood, the monospot test searches for specific mono antibodies, whereas the EBV test looks for antibodies specific to EBV. Both tests require a blood sample, which can be taken from a vein in your arm or from your finger. A mono test may be used with other tests, such as a complete blood count or throat culture, to confirm or rule out a mono diagnosis.

Because a tiny needle is used to sample blood from your finger or arm, a mono test takes less than five minutes to conduct. Your blood is extracted into a small tube or vial and tested in minutes to discover if antibodies suggestive of mono are present. A mono test requires no preparation, though it may cause minor side effects like as discomfort or bruising at the injection site, which usually subsides after a few minutes.

If your mono test is positive, your doctor will talk to you about your treatment options. Mono normally goes away on its own after a few weeks, although some people may experience long-term fatigue. Getting enough sleep and drinking enough of water are essential.

Mono Test FAQs

  • How much does a mono test cost Menlo Park?

    A mono test's price is determined by a number of factors, including test provider pricing, geographic location, and whether or not your health insurance plan covers the test. To discover more about your benefits and coverage, contact the mono test provider directly.

  • Does insurance cover mono testing?

    Mono testing is covered by many health insurance policies, especially if your doctor determines that it is medically necessary based on your symptoms and current health status. Contact your health insurance provider directly to see if mono testing is covered. Some mono test companies will check your insurance benefits to determine if this test is covered.

  • Who should get tested for mononucleosis Menlo Park?

    Anyone experiencing mono symptoms should be tested for the virus to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Mono symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck and armpits, which are similar to flu symptoms. Mono can affect everyone, but it affects teenagers and young adults more frequently.

  • How do they test for mono Menlo Park?

    Blood is drawn from your fingertip or an arm vein for a mono test. Both methods have a lot in common. The testing provider will pierce your finger with a little needle and draw blood into a small tube or vial during the fingertip test. A little needle will be inserted into your arm to draw blood into a small tube or vial to collect blood from a vein in your arm by the testing provider.

  • How long does a mono test take Menlo Park?

    A mono test is reasonably quick, requiring no more than five minutes whether blood is drawn from your fingertip or arm. Mono tests don't normally necessitate any preparation and don't cause any downtime. Even though a mono test only takes a few minutes, your session may last longer if you have to wait your turn. Check the duration of the mono testing and your appointment with the mono testing provider ahead of time.

  • How long does it take to get mono test results?

    Mono test results are often available within five to ten minutes, while some mono test kits can take up to an hour to complete. Contact the mono testing provider for more information on when your mono testing results will be returned. In most situations, your test results will be available the same day you take it.

  • Where should I get a mono test Menlo Park?

    Whether blood is obtained from your fingertip or your arm, a mono test takes no more than five minutes. Mono testing usually does not require any preparation and does not result in any downtime. Even though a mono test is only a few minutes long, it can take longer if you have to wait for your turn. Before you go, double-check the duration of the test and your appointment with the mono testing provider.

  • How accurate are mono tests?

    Mono tests have been demonstrated to be trustworthy, with an accuracy rate of 95 to 100 percent. Mono tests that just search for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies, on the other hand, have been shown to produce fewer false negatives than other antibody tests. False-positive findings can arise in patients who have been infected with specific diseases such as HIV, lymphoma, or rubella, because antibodies from these diseases can stay in the bloodstream for up to a year.

  • How can I book a mono test through Solv?

    One of the simplest ways to arrange a mono test is to use Solv, which generates a list of the best mono test providers, along with their contact information.

  • Can I do at-home mono testing?

    There are no at-home mono test kits available to diagnose mono in yourself or a loved one in the comfort of your own home at this time. A blood draw is required for this test, which must be done by a certified and experienced medical expert. A mono test may be performed at your house by some healthcare providers, but there are no test kits accessible for self-testing at home.
