I went to docs because my primary doc couldn’t not fit me in with my work schedule. I have been to docs twice and I hope I never have to go back. The cost of $50 is a lot of money each time. And both times I was there for over and hour, yesterday it was like two and a half hours. My time is just as important. The only thing good I have to say is the staff was very pleasant.

Everyone was very nice and professional, however explaining to 3 different staff as to reason why I visited was very embarrassing. I’m sure staff would’ve eventually found out either way but to have to explain it 3 separate times and only one person that wasn’t even there treating me was humiliating.  It’s gotta be a better way.

Upon receiving instruction to get a physical and pre-screen drug test done and where to get it done was lingering in my thoughts for a few hours, nevertheless, I played on my braveness and decided to make a move.

I was so overwhelm and want to say thanks so much, keep up the good work. I will recommend this pkace anytime.

The phlebotomist was amazing. She drew 14 full vials of blood with no discomfort or pain. I so appreciated her gentleness. The wait time was less than 5 minutes. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this urgent care center again. Thank you!

Came in thinking I had strep throat. I have covid. No meds given or input as to current guidelines for quarantining, etc.--but I must admit I forgot to ask until I got home. Perhaps a hangout/some paperwork would have been nice

Went to urgent care, because I had a sore in my nose which was red and swollen and very painful. I went to urgent care, the staff was great, I didn’t have to wait long, the Dr came in she stood at the door way, glanced at my nose, didn’t even look inside and said u have a infection, she spent 30 seconds with me and stood in the doorway, wrote a prescription and left. I will never go back to that center or recommend anyone. I worked at Sloane Kettering for forty two years, I am totally aware how a dr should present herself, she didn’t introduce herself or entered the room and closed the door. No way to present your self to a patient.

I was surprised that only after arriving I was told it would be a virtual visit. Also I do not understand why I had to pay two copays, one for each health insurance I have. The manager is lovely.

About Folate Testing

Folate Testing, also known as folic acid or vitamin B9 testing, is a diagnostic test that measures the level of folate in the blood. Folate is an essential B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in cell division, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell production.
