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 didnโ€™t have to wait long, the Dr came in she stood at the door way, glanced at my nose, didnโ€™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 didnโ€™t introduce herself or entered the room and closed the door. No way to present your self to a patient.

I recently moved to Wappingers and have been sick twice. Both of my visits to the HealthQuest Urgent Care were excellent. The receptionist was friendly and the exam was prompt and thorough. The care was much better than other urgent cares I have visited. 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

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 Lead Testing

Lead Testing is a diagnostic test used to measure the levels of lead in the blood. Lead is a toxic metal that can have harmful effects on various body systems, especially in children, pregnant women, and individuals with occupational lead exposure. This test is essential for early detection and prevention of lead poisoning.

Who Should Get Tested

If you reside in Pawling, New York, and have risk factors for lead exposure or suspect lead poisoning, Lead Testing is recommended. Risk factors may include living in an older home with lead-based paint, working in lead-related industries, or having a history of pica (ingesting non-food items) in children.

Lead Testing in Children

In children, Lead Testing is especially crucial as lead exposure can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. Children should be screened for lead exposure at ages 1 and 2 years, and more frequently if they are at higher risk.

Testing Methods

Lead Testing is typically performed using a small blood sample, usually obtained from a fingerstick or venipuncture. Blood samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Lead Testing results is based on the concentration of lead in the blood. Lead levels are measured in micrograms per deciliter (ฮผg/dL). Elevated lead levels indicate lead exposure, and additional testing and interventions may be needed to address lead poisoning.

Preventing Lead Exposure

Preventing lead exposure is essential for protecting individuals from the harmful effects of lead poisoning. Measures to reduce lead exposure include:

  • Regular inspection and maintenance of homes with lead-based paint
  • Proper handwashing and personal hygiene, especially for children
  • Using lead-safe practices in occupations with potential lead exposure
  • Ensuring a balanced and nutritious diet to reduce lead absorption

Following the Test

If Lead Testing indicates elevated lead levels, healthcare providers will work with individuals and families to identify the source of lead exposure and implement necessary interventions to reduce exposure and prevent lead poisoning.

Early detection and prevention through Lead Testing are critical in protecting the health and well-being of individuals, especially children, from the harmful effects of lead exposure.
