What does a positive TB test look like?

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.

Woke up in the morning feeling terrible and needed to get an appt for myself and son quickly. Cedar Hill urgent care was able to service us and they did an amazing job. Everyone from the front desk reception to the doctor was so kind, patient and caring. They checked both me and my son and was able to quickly diagnose us and give us our prescription. I highly recommend cedar hill urgent care and this will now be my go to urgent care when I’m unable to see my provider.

Upon visiting the office (non-emergency it could wait item) I was told to schedule an appointment online, which I did. Arriving for the appointment I still waited about 30 minutes. There were some other patients but it didn't seem to be a huge number. The care item was successfully completed. All staff members were professional yet courteous in performing there duties. PS Nothing is perfect so nothing gets rated 5 stars, 4 stars is as high as will go in any rating request.
