Was amazed by the staff n their efficiency to see me within 20 mins of calling to confirm if they were still open n had any patients waiting.  Dr. Melara was so nice n his assistant too. Thought I had ear wax blocking my hearing but turn out to be a severe ear infection. Thk goodness I was able to see them at 7pm. Thk you all for your help. On my way to recovery. Definitely, recommend this provider.

Short Wait Time

All personnel were friendly and caring starting with the receptionist . I went there New Year’s Eve for myself and had to return to them New Year’s Day with sick grand babies. The best experience ever in a medical facility...and I have visited quite a few in my lifetime. May God bless each and every one who works there and may He give you all good health as you caring for the sick. You all were a blessing to me and my family on these two days. Thank you all for working so that we could receive the care and understanding we needed. May I say outstanding and a little shout out to Wanda,NP for taking the time to write down her name for me so that I could remember her name. Although I don’t remember the name of the one I saw don’t feel slited cause your name is not mentioned...I just don’t remember it when you just tell me. A shout out to you too. You are both awesome!🙂❤️

From the front desk receptionist to the nurse to the doctor, they were all kind and professional and helped make my experience pleasurable even while felling horrible. I would definitely recommend them. The wait time wasn’t long. The doctor was attentive and very helpful. Everyone treated you as though you were their only patient.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
