I made an appointment quickly, was seen within 5 minutes of arrival, and had great medical care. I’ve used NextCare Urgent Care many times and have been very satisfied. I do recommend this provider.

Was sent home from school with 101.4 temperature the day before.   Temperature kept rising and it hurt to breathe, laugh or cough.   Since I’m asthmati, I knew it was either bronchitis or pleurisy which I get every winter.   A coworker raved about this place so I dropped in!   Not disappointed!

Check in person was kind and patient with me while trying to complete online paperwork. I was feeling so horrible, I really didn’t have the patience or the energy to do it online. She was kind and handed me a clip board with quick forms that I was able to sign since they already had everything else. I really appreciate it.

I am a person who regularly receives B12 and vitamin shots as well as IV infusions. I had the worst experience this week when it was my first time visiting neumed modern urgent care. The doctor was very rude, did not have a gentle hand, after stabbing me three times to get my bulging vein,  they realize Metal stand that holds the IV bag is broken and that it's the only one in the facility. I have to get up from previously laying down on the table and walk all the way through their facility in pain after being stuck three times because they have one stand to hold an IV bag, don't make the mistake of going here. My arm still hurts and I didn't feel much of a difference.

It was very easy to book an appointment online. There was no wait, just a few forms to fill out. The nurse practitioner was knowledgeable and friendly. I got the care I needed, and prescriptions were sent to my pharmacy. I would use them again for urgent care.

AFC Urgent Care Clinic was clean, sterile in feel; fitted with the latest in tech design and equipment; organized procedurally; staffed with friendly, helpful, serious people. The doctor assigned to me far exceeded my expectations. She made me feel as if I were her sole concern, would like to keep her. I felt I was receiving the best of care. I do not have a primary care physician; however, this experience was so far removed from having to visit a doctor’s office. I did require urgent medical attention; the convenience of a walk-in clinic surpassed not having a PCP, especially when the care I received was excellent, as this was.

Misdiagnosed by NP. She was very unprofessional and inexperienced and did not listen to my concerns. I had to seek competent care elsewhere to receive a correct diagnosis and treatment.

It was easy to make an appointment. However I checked in on the Solv app and did not realize I also had to check in with the desk.  The girl at the desk saw me sitting there for more than 20 minutes and never said anything or acknowledged me. That was frustrating.  The doctor/nurse was very nice.

Kingwood Thyroid Tests

A thyroid test is a blood test that determines your body's thyroid hormone levels.

Thyroid hormones are important for managing your weight, body temperature, and mood, as well as how your body consumes energy. Too much or too little thyroid hormone can lead to a range of health problems, including weight gain or loss, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, and constipation, to name a few.

You may need a thyroid test if you have one or more symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism causes anxiety, increased heart rate, weight loss, and sleeping problems. Hypothyroidism causes fatigue, constipation, hair loss, and weight gain, among other things.the complete testing process takes no more than 15 minutes.

A thyroid test does not require any preparation, and there are no significant risks. Minor discomfort or bruising on the finger or arm where blood was extracted may occur in some people, but this usually goes away within minutes.

When it comes to evaluating your thyroid levels, the TSH thyroid test is usually the first step. Based on the findings of the TSH test, your doctor may recommend or perform other thyroid tests, such as the T4 test, T3 test, or thyroid antibodies test, to diagnose or rule out particular thyroid issues. Imaging procedures such as CT scans, ultrasounds, and nuclear medicine may be required to detect or rule out thyroid issues.

If you have a thyroid problem, your doctor will notify you.

Thyroid Test FAQs

  • How much does a thyroid test cost in Kingwood?

    A thyroid test can cost anywhere from $0 to $200, depending on factors like health insurance coverage, copay amount, and testing rates set by the provider. The number of tests you have and where you live might also affect the cost of thyroid testing. Contact the thyroid test provider directly to learn more about testing fees.

  • Does insurance cover thyroid testing in Kingwood?

    Many health insurance coverage includes thyroid testing, especially if your doctor requests it based on your symptoms and health condition. However, you may be required to pay the copay. By calling your insurance provider directly, you may confirm your coverage and if thyroid testing is covered by your health plan.

  • Who should get a thyroid test in Kingwood?

    Anyone experiencing signs of an underactive or overactive thyroid should get a thyroid test. Underactive thyroid symptoms include weight gain, constipation, and irregular menstrual periods (hypothyroidism). An overactive thyroid can cause weight loss, a rapid heart rate, and anxiety (hyperthyroidism). Talk to your doctor about obtaining a thyroid test if you have one or more of these symptoms.

  • How do they test your thyroid?

    Thyroid function can be checked with a simple blood test. During the test, a healthcare professional will take a little sample of blood from your arm and deposit it in one or more test tubes or vials. After that, your blood is examined in a lab to see if you have hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or another thyroid-related health issue.

  • How should I prepare for a thyroid blood test?

    A thyroid blood test does not require any preparation. You may need to fast for many hours before your appointment if your doctor is performing other blood tests at the same time. Ask your doctor or the thyroid test provider whether there are any special precautions you should take in the days and hours leading up to your appointment.

  • What is the thyroid blood test called?

    Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) testing is a form of thyroid gland blood test. Thyroid blood tests include thyrotropin tests, T4 tests, T3 tests, and thyroid antibody tests. T4 and T3 tests can be used by your doctor to diagnose hyperthyroidism. Thyroid antibody levels are tested in a thyroid antibody test to assist your doctor in determining if you have Graves' disease or Hashimoto's disease. Your thyroid blood test provider can provide you with further information about your thyroid blood test.

  • How long does it take to get thyroid test results in Kingwood?

    Thyroid test results can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to arrive, depending on how quickly the lab can process your sample. Some labs will call your doctor to inform them of the results, so you may have to wait. Other thyroid testing providers may contact you directly with their findings as soon as they are available. Contact the test provider directly to find out when you can anticipate your results.

  • Where should I get a thyroid test in Kingwood?

    Thyroid exams are available from a variety of healthcare professionals, including primary care doctors, urgent care facilities, and walk-in clinics. Inquire with your primary care physician if they offer thyroid testing or if they can refer you to someone who does. You may also use Solv to locate top-rated thyroid test providers in your area who can see you the same day or the next day.

  • What can affect thyroid test results?

    The findings of thyroid tests can be altered by a variety of factors, including pregnancy, medicines, and certain medical conditions. High-dose biotin, corticosteroids, and diabetic medications, as well as regular hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, can all affect thyroid test findings. Many doctors consider these factors while doing a thyroid test, and they may ask questions about your current health and medical history to find potential anomalies and irregularities that could lead to inaccurate test results.

  • Can I do at-home thyroid testing?

    Thyroid tests for at-home usage are available online or at a variety of pharmacies and drugstores. These treatments usually include pricking your finger to get a blood sample, which you can then send to a lab for evaluation and diagnosis. At-home thyroid testing can cost anywhere from $30 to $200, depending on the type of test you purchase. They'll walk you through the test and inform you where to mail your blood sample.
