Walked in and waited an hour to be taken back with only 1 person ahead. Then waited another 40 minutes to see the PA and another 20minutes for an xray. Seemed like a very long wait to have had only 1 person ahead of me. Staff was nice.

Needed a DOT physical. This was the only place to get one at such a short notice. They were great. Text Receipt is not appropriate. The Solv doesn't show a Receipt so I can get reimbursed.

While there was no issues with the staff-everyone was kind and attentive, I would not have wasted my money here if I had known ahead of time that their EKG machine was out of order, there was no x-ray tech working to do an x-ray, and the basic bloodwork results will take 3-5 days. They should remove the “urgent” care from their sign. The cost of the visit was pointless for me.

I artived at 8:40 and although first was told there were already appts so I scheduled for 11:30 Arrived and had to wait to grt an xray because someone else was having a full physical Not sure of the linear reasoning between the two After 90 minutes finally told them I had to go as it was 30 minutes after they had done my xray. I miss the efficiency when Carol Hoban was there. Ultimately I got my answer via a phone call from the LPN but that was really way too long to just find out if my toe was broken I was trying to give The sisters of Mercy the business but mist likely wont do it again anytime soon.

Easy to make online appointment I was however disappointed with wait time in waiting room and in operatory after we were taken back I was there a total of 2 hours with a sick 5 year old. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Not sure I would visit there again unless wait time was significantly less. They may need more staff due to volume of patients on a Saturday morning.

About Gout Testing

Gout Testing is a diagnostic test used to detect elevated levels of uric acid in the blood or joint fluid. Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation and severe pain. Gout Testing helps healthcare providers diagnose and manage this painful condition.

Who Should Get Tested

If you reside in Berea, South Carolina, and experience recurrent episodes of joint pain, swelling, and redness, Gout Testing is recommended. Gout is more common in men, postmenopausal women, and individuals with a family history of the condition. People with certain medical conditions, such as kidney disease or hypertension, may also be at higher risk for gout.

Tests Included in Gout Testing

Gout Testing may include the following tests:

  • Uric Acid Blood Test: Measures the concentration of uric acid in the blood. Elevated uric acid levels can be a sign of gout or other conditions.
  • Joint Fluid Analysis: In cases of joint swelling, a sample of fluid may be withdrawn from the affected joint and analyzed for the presence of uric acid crystals.

Interpreting the Results

Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood or the presence of uric acid crystals in joint fluid confirm the diagnosis of gout. A healthcare provider will consider the patient's symptoms, medical history, and test results to make an accurate diagnosis.

Managing Gout

Gout is a chronic condition that requires long-term management to prevent recurrent flares and joint damage. Treatment for gout may include:

  • Lifestyle Changes: Making dietary changes, such as limiting purine-rich foods (e.g., red meat, seafood), and maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce uric acid levels.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs and medications that lower uric acid levels (e.g., allopurinol, febuxostat) may be prescribed to manage gout symptoms and prevent future flares.
  • Fluid Intake: Ensuring adequate fluid intake can help promote the excretion of uric acid from the body.

Following the Test

After Gout Testing confirms a diagnosis of gout, healthcare providers will work with individuals to develop a personalized treatment plan to manage gout symptoms and reduce the risk of future flares.

Gout Testing plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing gout, allowing individuals to find relief from pain and maintain joint health.
