I have been to the Airport urgent care many and always received excellent care. This week I had to go and saw Sara Cook Np she was the best. Very Thorough and made sure I got the treatment I needed. She was right on spot In Diagnosing my problem. She even called me from her home to give me my CT scan results. We need more people like her in this field. Hopefully she will continue her education and become a much needed doctor for Lynchburg. The staff were also great. Couldn’t ask for better care. Thanks all of you!

I was required to have a COVID19 test done and while the wait was very long, like 3 hours or something, everyone I spoke to and dealt with were so nice and polite and patient. You could tell they were exhausted. I had 31 people ahead of me when I registered. But again no one was rude or cross or anything. I would definitely recommend and/or go back as needed. I got my results in 2 days. The nurse didn’t hurt me when she did the test and this is my 3rd COVID19 test and both of the others hurt so bad. You all are very appreciated and thank you for being kind. Side note, please be kind to these doctors and nurses. They are dealing with all the regular fall illnesses and COVID testing and a thank you would really mean a lot to them.

Getting an Allergy Test in Altavista, VA

Allergies affect more than 50 million people in the United States. Allergies run in families and are especially common among children. However, they can begin at any age. Allergies can disappear for a period of time before reappearing years later.

When your body's defenses are weakened, such as during pregnancy or after an illness, allergies can flare up at any time. The sooner you discover an allergy, the easier it will be to avoid triggers and relieve your symptoms.

Allergies arise in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and they can appear in a number of ways. Allergens include pollen, dust mites, animal fur, bug bites, certain medicines, and mold. An allergic reaction can be identified by sneezing, watery eyes, a runny nose, sinus congestion, coughing, or a skin rash. Allergies may aggravate some conditions, such as asthma or eczema. If your symptoms last longer than two weeks and come again, you may have an allergy.

If you suspect you have allergies, an allergy test can help you identify specific allergens and triggers. You can then develop a treatment plan with your healthcare expert to help you avoid allergens in the future.

Multiple allergy tests may be necessary to accurately detect an allergy. If the initial skin test is inconclusive, your doctor may order a second one. Food allergy testing is more difficult and often requires an exclusion diet. An elimination diet involves removing potential allergens from your diet and gradually reintroducing them one at a time to determine whether you have any reactions. Dairy, eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish are among the foods that should be avoided.
