Definitely would recommend, American Family Care for your urgent or not so urgent medical needs.. Scheduling was a breeze online, check-in was simple, the staff went above and beyond their job title to make sure I was comfortable and treated with dignity and respect, no judgement. I am terrible with names but the receptionist was great wanted to say her name was Tanya but I'm not sure and then the office manager wow she was amazing no judgments very calming conversation very supportive. And the doctor actually sat down and spoke with me about different things that could be going on there was no definitive answer at that moment yet she was willing to listen to me and what I had to say and a lot of doctors today don't do that and I really felt like there was compassion in her demeanor seemed genuinely concerned about my situation and I like that I wasn't just a number like everywhere else they treated you like a person I thought they were great!

It was after 5 on a Friday when I went in, so I wasn’t expecting it to be quick- everyone working there was great and helpful. I am frustrated that I delayed leaving my home to register online- and by the time I had everything in the time slot disappeared (it was still an hour from when I left). The info was not saved so when I arrived I had to go through it all again with slower, cell service.  I cannot emphasize this enough- everyone working there- reception, medical- were GREAT. Your online interface was meh at best. Thank you for your consideration!

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. Testing for folate levels helps identify deficiencies that can lead to various health issues.
