Was dealing with a really sore throat and congestion for a day and woke up with it worse.  Easily booked on line for 10 am appointment.  Arrived 9:50.  Wait time wasn't bad - about 30 mins.  I think people without an appointment may have gone ahead of me but not sure. Staff very friendly.  Nurse was excellent.  Dr. Ross Beyer was excellent. Great bedside manner.  Took time to explain to me. Would love for him to be my primary.  Would definitely go here again.

The security guard in the waiting area was super unprofessional. He was on constantly his cell phone for talking so loud that i could not hear myself think or hear my girlfriend when she called she asked..Who is that "Ghetto Person" talking so loud??..I responded.."The security guard". I would have asked him to lower his voice but didn't because he was a thug. He spoke about his friend getting in trouble for sleeping on the job his first day on the job. That conversation lasted 20 minutes and he kept repeating himself and laughing like a madman. Then he talked about how his girlfriend didn't want any smoke if he reverted to his old ways and started coming home at 4am. Bragging about how he looks when he gets dressed up and again laughing like a madman. All the time talking on volume 10. And repeating himself over and over again. Please train this person before he does something stupid.

I woke up coughing severely, bringing up a lot of phlegm. It's been seven days, and I came back for a follow-up. The doctor said my lungs sounded muffled and prescribed me some cough pills and antibiotics.

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.

Following the Test
