I had scheduled an appointment the day after Christmas. I normally check in on the app but both (App and Inside) are convenient. It was super busy. I must say Robert, Tandra and Dr. Coty was very professional while caring for everyone. Thank you all so much for your support and kindness.

I paid a 100$ more for a dot physical then what the average in Alabama is charged. My company is not paying for it. So I had to pay myself. I have 4 daughters and that's taking money I need for them away. And I don't appreciate being charged that much for a minimal visit.

Wife had Walking Pneumonia for a week and I finally gave up and started on same symptoms.  Naturally, it was late Friday afternoon and PCP was gone. Made a reservation with Urgent Care and got appointment for next day. When arrived Urgent Care , there were no seats in the waiting room. Once I got called, it was no time before the NP had me diagnosed, prescription sent to Costco and I was on way home.

The lady at the front desk is amazing.  She is always so sweet and makes everything easy.  She has a very calming effect on the patients.  If you have a question she quickly helps. I have been several times to Urgent Care in Hazel Green and she is always the same sweet lady.

About Folate Testing

Folate Testing, also known as folic acid or vitamin B9 testing, is a diagnostic test that measures the level of folate in the blood. Folate is an essential B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in cell division, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell production. Testing for folate levels helps identify deficiencies that can lead to various health issues.
