When you take the TB skin test, a huge bump will appear on your arm at the injection site if you have had a TB infection.

During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

From the front desk to when I left, I felt I was important and all my needs were addressed. The bedside manner was fantastic, the team members were very easy to talk to and they all communicated together which was nice so I did not have to repeat to each new face I saw. Highly recommend this location.

This is our first stop for our family’s urgent health care needs. We have been there three times in the last 18 months with our elderly father. Each time we have received a diagnosis that was accurate with the appropriate treatment and follow-up recommended. It is clean and bright and the staff has is very efficient with managing the process. Everyone we have ever seen has been kind and thorough in their assessment and explanations. I highly recommend this location for urgent care needs.

I was totally impressed with the care I received at TAUC, Affton. After I had a very thorough checkup and an x-ray taken, the NP determined I had bronchitis. She put me on a nebulizer, and prescribed an antibiotic, a couple cough suppressants, as well as cough medicine. After my visit last Friday, and giving the meds a chance to "kick in", I feel much better today (Monday). I highly recommend TAUC to everyone!
