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!!

My son woke up with a sore throat. His PCP was available, but not for many hours. The physician at DOCS had availability. She was empathetic, thorough, knowledgeable and insightful.

After a long wait the care was worth wait and justified the time that is carefully spent on each patient. DOCS on East Main Street, Bridgeport, CT is the Best for Urgent Care!

The wait was long, which I was well aware of. The nurses were nice but seemed stressed seemed stressed and overwhelmed. The healthcare provider was treating me virtually thought an iPad, which was a little weird.  Here’s where I had issues: when I told the healthcare provider my symptoms, he ordered tests for the flu and Covid and then  prescribed me antibiotics before know the results of the tests. I was told that they would call me an hour after my appointment to let me know the results of the tests (which they never did). At that point I had already gotten my antibiotics from my pharmacy and started taking them. I quickly noticed my symptoms progressively get worst and my fever kept getting higher. I then got an email with my test results and turns out I have the Flu A stain and if you know anything about antibiotics, you are not supposed to take those with a viral infection because it can have a slew of negative effects on your health and worsen your viral symptoms. I tried calling the location I went to twice to get more info about why no one called me when my results came in and why I was prescribed the wrong medication/no one called me to tell me to start taking the antibiotics.  I ended up calling my primary and he felt bad I had such a negative experience and then prescribed the correct medication to take for the flu.

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.
