Although they were very busy & very behind the staff INCLUDING the front desk staff stayed very friendly and very professional. They all apologized for everything & showed me the utmost respect & treated me with respect during my visit. This will definitely be the place I visit when I can't get in to my PCP. Scheduling was easy as well. 10/10 definitely recommend.

I brought my daughter in for a scheduled appointment on 12/30. There was an extended wait time, yes. But, it was because there was only one medical assistant and one NP running the whole clinic. Most places would have closed for the day on such short staff. I want to commend them both. They excelled with the patient to staff ratio they were presented and we received quality patient care. As a nurse, myself, I know in this field it’s easy to feel unappreciated and have your efforts overlooked. I hope those two staff see this and know, you are seen and greatly appreciated.

Today when I decided to go to Ascension Urgent Care, I was feeling weak and had not eaten much due to stomach issues the previous day. I was told there was a 2 hour wait and after downloading the Solv App, it appeared there were 8 people in front of me. 4 hours later I was seen. During that time I checked Solv multiple times and it was inaccurate. At one time there were 3 in front of me (after 3 hours waiting), then it jumped to 5 in front of me 20 minutes later.  That being said, the clinical staff were very caring and supportive. They wording their best and were professional despite the extreme wait times and number of patients. The front desk person was polite and professional although not friendly. I would recommend this provider, only with an appointment scheduled.

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.
