Mono Test near me
in Petersburg, VA

My grandson had been complaining of sore throat and was complaining of a nagging cough. Wanted to make sure it was not contagious. It was easy to go online and schedule; however even though the system told us to come on in, the timing of the appointment meant nothing. We waited about an hour and twenty minutes before we were called in. That was disappointing. I would have rather waited at home.

The availability of scheduling the appointment was great. The ease was wonderful. The staff was very friendly. The practitioner was very nice & knowledgeable. I worked a full shift & upon picking up my son from the babysitter he had a deep cough & complained about his nose being sore. That's what prompted the visit.

I drove up and the parking lot was completely full. My thoughts were that there would be a long wait. Walked in and only a few people in the waiting room. I was checked in within 5 mnutes of my arrival. I was seen within 10 minutes of arriving. The doctor came in within 5 minutes of my being put into a patient area. The doctor (whose name I do not remember and I have thrown away all paperwork) was extremely nice. He reminds me of the doctors that people remark, "He has such a good bedside manner." First impressions with patients really do matter. And he gave a very good first impression. He was professionally and friendly and an excellent communicator. He provided an ancedote on what I was experiencing. That really helped. I have been to this Patient First before and have taken a good friend there. Each time has been a good experience. The staff are nice and each doctor that I have seen is friendly and able to diagnosis the problem. I like this Patient First better than my Primary Care Physician and have even inquired as to using them as my PCP. I was in and out within 30 minutes and recommend them highly.
