Very easy to schedule appt for a same day. Was surprised by the fact that they are paperless and in order to view anything you have to download their app. It’s been 2 days and still no results, as for the medication you have to go on the appt and send it your self to the pharmacy otherwise you will not get it. Overall it was a good visit but it could have improved on some things for sure.

My granddaughter had been sick since December 19th which was 10 days. Easy schedule online and got right in when we arrived at the office. She couldn’t break the fever and was in extreme pain. She is only 3. The staff was so nice and caring with her, made her comfortable and made sure they had the correct diagnosis by asking questions and examining her thoroughly. She needed up having a sinus infection. They sent prescription right over to her pharmacy and it was ready when we got there. Amazing Care from the team.

Showed up at the Ruston urgent care location for a walk in, learned about the crazy wait time but also the app, so I installed Solv and found that the Tacoma urgent care location has appointments available to schedule that day, where Ruston only had tomorrow. So I scheduled one just 30 minutes away, rushed to the office and the app knew I was there so I checked in, talked to the receptionist, she already had my insurance and stuff from the app scanning my card👍 so she photoed my ID and told me I'd have a 45 minute wait. I was excited for this. I left and used the wait list on the app to track my position in line, and showed up, was seen pretty much right away, dental assistant was kind, put in all the info, doctor came in right away, got the antibiotics I needed immediately. Pharmacy had my prescription ready soon as I got there, within 10 minutes probably. The whole experience was pretty amazing and even though it was sudden and I was in pain, had to learn about the app and whatnot, it was so easy. Very impressed.

Easy in and easy out. I just wish there was more seats to sit on. People tend to bring a plus one and I wasn’t able to sit so I stood outside in the rain until I saw a seat open.

The When I called yesterday afternoon there was a 3/4 hour wait. The kind receptionist suggested I make a 9:30 am appointment this morning. I did and it worked out very nicely. A short wait and all went very smoothly!  Yes, I’d recommend this provider based on my experience today.

The front desk staff and nurse were super friendly and nice. The xray machine wasn't working at this facility, which they really should let the patient know before they make an appointment.. I was seen by a nurse practitioner, Kamaal I believe.  She seemed nice, however, she didn't seem too concerned and asked minimum questions. I don't feel like my concern was  fully addressed/resolved.  I should have just gone to my primary care instead of paying $100 copay only to be told, "just keep up with warm fluids and come back again if it gets worst", because it's just that easy to come back and pay another $100 copay again. I drove about 18 miles to get seen at this location because appointments at the clinic near me get booked super fast.. I mentioned that to the provider that I don't want to drive this far again just one day later..and I was told "try making an appointment a day before near you then" (because clearly, I didn't try that and chose to drive that far in snowy weather). Last time I was sick with this horrendous cough and phlegm, a provider at different location told me exactly the same that it's just a viral, only for me to end up at my primary care the next day who diagnosed me with pneumonia! I see a similar review here from another patient ending up with pneumonia because your provider here, misdiagnosed her.. I sure hope the nurse practitioner didn't miss anything.. I couldn't ask for x-ray anyway, since it wasn't working at this location. I did mention to her that last time with exact same thing, I was prescribed antibiotics and she brushed it off saying "it's just a viral".. Not sure how she decided on that when she didn't even do an xray.  I was not all satisfied with my treatment by this provider at this location. Multicare Indigo, you need to fix your mistakes and train your providers, instead of copy pasting the same response to all the low rating reviews. Looking at the reviews here, no wonder this location always has multiple appointments available as compare to other locations.

Overview of STD Testing in Puyallup

Who should get tested for STDs?

Anyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This is particularly important for those who have multiple sexual partners, are under the age of 25, or are men who have sex with men, as these groups are at a higher risk. According to the CDC, it's recommended to get tested at least once a year if you fall into any of these categories. Regular testing is crucial because many STDs often have no symptoms, but can still cause serious health problems if left untreated.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is a vital part of maintaining your sexual health. Early detection and treatment can prevent many of the serious and long-term health problems that can result from untreated STDs, such as infertility, certain types of cancer, and increased risk of HIV. Testing also helps to prevent the spread of STDs to others. It's important to remember that having an STD is not a reflection of your character or worth; it's a health issue that can affect anyone who is sexually active.

Std testing options in Puyallup, WA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

There are several urgent care and walk-in clinics in and around Puyallup that offer STD testing. These include Indigo in South Hill, Carbon Health in Puyallup, and Tran Urgent Care & Wellness Centers in Tacoma. These clinics often offer same-day and next-day appointments, which can be booked through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider can also provide STD testing. If you have a regular doctor, they may be the best person to talk to about your concerns and symptoms. They can provide you with a test and discuss treatment options if you test positive.

Free STD testing and community health centers

There are also options for free STD testing in the Puyallup area. Community health centers often offer free or low-cost testing, especially if you have no insurance or are unable to pay.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another option for STD testing. These kits can be ordered online, completed in the privacy of your own home, and then sent back to a lab for testing. Results are usually available within a few days.

Prevalence of STDs in Puyallup

Puyallup, located in King County, has seen a steady increase in STD rates over the past few years, mirroring a national trend. According to the CDC, the most commonly reported STDs in the area are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. The rates of these diseases are generally higher in Puyallup and the surrounding areas, including Sumner, Waller, South Hill, Milton, and Edgewood, compared to other counties in Washington State, such as Lincoln, Sherman, Pierce, Wasco, and Marion Counties.

Risk factors related to STDs in Puyallup

Several factors contribute to the high rates of STDs in Puyallup. These include a lack of regular testing, unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and a lack of education about STDs. Efforts to increase testing and education about STDs are crucial in reducing the rates of these diseases in the Puyallup area.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Puyallup?

    In a doctor's office, a health clinic, or an urgent care center, you can get an STD test. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to visit a doctor's office, where they can also treat you or issue you a prescription. While some Puyallup clinics and urgent care centers allow walk-in appointments, it's advisable to make an appointment ahead of time to prevent excessive waits.

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

    Various testing are required for various STDs. Depending on the type of STD test you took, you may receive your results in two to ten days. Some outcomes may be immediately available. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an STD through a physical examination. In some cases, your doctor's office may only contact you if your test results are positive.

  • How much does an STD test cost in Puyallup?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by several factors, including where you are tested, the type of test you need, and if you have health insurance. Some Puyallup clinics may offer free testing or testing on a sliding scale based on your income. Because of the cost, don't put off obtaining an STD test. With your doctor's office, discuss the cost and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment may have catastrophic implications.

  • Does insurance cover STD testing in Puyallup?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by a number of factors, including the location of the test, the type of test required, and whether or not you have health insurance. Some clinics may provide free or sliding-scale testing, depending on your income. Don't let the expense of an STD test deter you from getting one. With your doctor's office, discuss the price and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment could have catastrophic ramifications.

  • How do they test for STDs in Puyallup?

    There are around 20 different forms of STDs, each with its own set of diagnostic tests. No single test exists that can detect all types of STDs. Your doctor can help you figure out which tests you'll need. In STD testing, a blood sample or a urine sample may be used. Your doctor may also take a swab from the inside of your cheek, your vaginal area, or another potentially infected place.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    Blood tests are used to diagnose hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. In a laboratory, a technician examines a blood sample for antibodies that the body has produced in reaction to disease. The virus's DNA can also be detected by several blood tests. Remember that if you've recently been exposed to an STD and your body hasn't yet produced antibodies, you could test negative even if you have the disease.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for STD testing in Puyallup?

    Many Puyallup, WA urgent care providers offer same-day and next-day appointments, which you may book through Solv. To make healthcare more accessible to everyone, we collaborate with thousands of top-rated local providers. Our physician partners understand that waiting days, if not weeks, for an appointment isn't always the best option, and they share our commitment to simple, accessible health care.

  • How can I book an STD test on Solv?

A list of providers and available appointments can be found on the following page. Choose the most convenient time and location for you. Make it clear that you've come for STD testing.

  • How long does an STD test take in Puyallup?

    If you have a specific STD, inform your doctor so that the necessary test can be scheduled. Otherwise, they'll help you figure out which tests you'll need. The nurse or doctor simply needs a few minutes to get a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab from the probable infection site.

  • Can I test myself for STDs at home?

    Although there are several STD home tests available, not all of them are accurate. The accuracy of any STD test is determined by the quality of the sample taken. For home STD kits, a blood sample, a urine sample, or both are frequently required. Because doctors and nurses have more experience collecting samples, traditional in-office STD testing is the most accurate.
