Another great visit with Dr. Marshall. Time and time again Dr. Marshall comes through with a fantastic communication style, truly explaining what the problem is ย and what will happen. And itโ€™s also very evident that he cares about being a great doctor and getting great results for the patients. One of the only doctors Iโ€™ve ever met that truly bridges the gap between clinical and caring.

I went through the walk in. It was very easy. I was in and out of there within maybe 20 minutes. I was ordered medication and hopefully Iโ€™ll be feeling much better in a couple of days! I would definitely recommend their services.

There was no wait, but I had to use an app to check in, which took about 10 minutes. ย So, why are there employees at the front desk, if Iโ€™m doing their job for them? ย I could see the benefit of this if there were 5 people waiting to check inโ€ฆ but they couldnโ€™t do my intake when I was literally the only person in the waiting room? I was pulled into the room pretty quickly, but then waiting in the exam room for about 1/2 hour. ย The doctor was friendly and listened to my list of symptoms and then examined me. ย  Besides the check in process and wait to be seen by the doctor , everything was positive.

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.
