Front desk staff was rude and dismissive, especially the middle aged woman with shoulder length blondish, gray hair. Not just to me but another patient waiting as well. Basically wouldn't help with insurance, by making the call for precertification to confirm emergency. I paid for the visit, but she still classified it as an "office visit" when I was in with a 5 year old presenting with blood in her urine. She is a disservice to your facility. Wanted to do as little as possible. The doctor was great!!

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.

There was no wait, but I had to use an app to check in, which took about 10 minutes.  So, why are there employees at the front desk, if I’m doing their job for them?  I could see the benefit of this if there were 5 people waiting to check in… but they couldn’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.  The doctor was friendly and listened to my list of symptoms and then examined me.   Besides the check in process and wait to be seen by the doctor , everything was positive.

We walked in so it was a simple process. The office was clean and tidy. The check process is where it went wrong. The lady at the desk was very unprofessional and rude. No greeting, smile, customer service training. Her appearance was sloppy as if she didn't care she was coming to work. She had her ear buds in while assisting people. You had to either assume what to do, or from prior visits knowledge, because no instruction was provided. She looked miserable. The only time she was nice was when the delivery guy brought her food, that she ate at the desk. She makes it's very clear that she doesn't care for her job. She makes you feel bad for making her work. As if she's used to just sitting there and intimidating everyone from wanting to come in for assistance. The MA that assisted the doctor was amazing. DR. Was amazing. This would be a wonderful place if there was better staff.

I have to say a HUGE thank you to the staff at this location. During this crazy time of Covid-19, they were cheerful, thorough, and just downright pleasant. From the front office staff, the nurse, and the Nurse Practitioner, I have the utmost respect, and am grateful for you. I was presenting with some respiratory concerns, and they made me feel safe, and gave me a sound mind. Thank you again.

Georgetown Mono Tests

A mono test can be used to identify mononucleosis, which is an infectious viral disease. Mono is caused by several viruses, the most common of which being the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Mono can afflict persons of any age, although it affects teenagers and young adults the most frequently and visibly. Mono will develop in one out of every four teenagers and adults infected with EBV.

If you have mono symptoms, your doctor may order or perform a mono test for you. Mono symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck or armpits, which are quite similar to the flu.

Mono tests come in two forms: the monospot test and the EBV antibody test. In the blood, the monospot test searches for specific mono antibodies, whereas the EBV test looks for antibodies specific to EBV. Both tests require a blood sample, which can be taken from a vein in your arm or from your finger. A mono test may be used with other tests, such as a complete blood count or throat culture, to confirm or rule out a mono diagnosis.

Because a tiny needle is used to sample blood from your finger or arm, a mono test takes less than five minutes to conduct. Your blood is extracted into a small tube or vial and tested in minutes to discover if antibodies suggestive of mono are present. A mono test requires no preparation, though it may cause minor side effects like as discomfort or bruising at the injection site, which usually subsides after a few minutes.

If your mono test is positive, your doctor will talk to you about your treatment options. Mono normally goes away on its own after a few weeks, although some people may experience long-term fatigue. Getting enough sleep and drinking enough of water are essential.

Mono Test FAQs

  • How much does a mono test cost Georgetown?

    A mono test's price is determined by a number of factors, including test provider pricing, geographic location, and whether or not your health insurance plan covers the test. To discover more about your benefits and coverage, contact the mono test provider directly.

  • Does insurance cover mono testing?

    Mono testing is covered by many health insurance policies, especially if your doctor determines that it is medically necessary based on your symptoms and current health status. Contact your health insurance provider directly to see if mono testing is covered. Some mono test companies will check your insurance benefits to determine if this test is covered.

  • Who should get tested for mononucleosis Georgetown?

    Anyone experiencing mono symptoms should be tested for the virus to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Mono symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck and armpits, which are similar to flu symptoms. Mono can affect everyone, but it affects teenagers and young adults more frequently.

  • How do they test for mono Georgetown?

    Blood is drawn from your fingertip or an arm vein for a mono test. Both methods have a lot in common. The testing provider will pierce your finger with a little needle and draw blood into a small tube or vial during the fingertip test. A little needle will be inserted into your arm to draw blood into a small tube or vial to collect blood from a vein in your arm by the testing provider.

  • How long does a mono test take Georgetown?

    A mono test is reasonably quick, requiring no more than five minutes whether blood is drawn from your fingertip or arm. Mono tests don't normally necessitate any preparation and don't cause any downtime. Even though a mono test only takes a few minutes, your session may last longer if you have to wait your turn. Check the duration of the mono testing and your appointment with the mono testing provider ahead of time.

  • How long does it take to get mono test results?

    Mono test results are often available within five to ten minutes, while some mono test kits can take up to an hour to complete. Contact the mono testing provider for more information on when your mono testing results will be returned. In most situations, your test results will be available the same day you take it.

  • Where should I get a mono test Georgetown?

    Whether blood is obtained from your fingertip or your arm, a mono test takes no more than five minutes. Mono testing usually does not require any preparation and does not result in any downtime. Even though a mono test is only a few minutes long, it can take longer if you have to wait for your turn. Before you go, double-check the duration of the test and your appointment with the mono testing provider.

  • How accurate are mono tests?

    Mono tests have been demonstrated to be trustworthy, with an accuracy rate of 95 to 100 percent. Mono tests that just search for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies, on the other hand, have been shown to produce fewer false negatives than other antibody tests. False-positive findings can arise in patients who have been infected with specific diseases such as HIV, lymphoma, or rubella, because antibodies from these diseases can stay in the bloodstream for up to a year.

A blood draw is required for this test, which must be done by a certified and experienced medical expert. A mono test may be performed at your house by some healthcare providers, but there are no test kits accessible for self-testing at home.
