Urgent care
Lab testing
St Thomas Urgent Care was really a blessing for me. I had been dealing with an ear ache and they diagnosed it and started me on medication right away. From check in to the Doc I was well taken care of. However, the next day I called and left a message with check in to have someone call me to answer two questions and I still have not received a call back. This in no way will prevent me from using  Urgent Care again. I have now received a call back. Four days later but still very much appreciated. I would still recommend this Urgent Csre facility.

I have been to 2 physical therapists then to 1st doctor in less than a week, with what I thought was a really bad vertigo spell, long story short 1st doctor wasn't concerned even though I pleaded that something was definitely wrong....Dr. Robert Jackson was total opposite! Starting with scheduling, the options were ENDLESS!! How convenient and easy it was to get appointment and very quickly and last minute!!!! As soon as I arrived, the office manager (for the life of me, I can't think of her name😔) greeted me very sincerely and got right to getting me checked in. Within a few minutes I had barely got in the chair to wait before McKenna's smiling face was greeting me ready to start vitals! She was very sweet and caring, listening intently! Took me to the room, and soon after Dr. Jackson came in...first impression very kind face and demeanor! Listened closely to every word of my symptom story which at this point was a weeks worth of episodes....he was very reassuring in a scary situation for me, he immediately did an exam then said he wanted to run all the test and get Started so we could get closer to finding an answer for the way I was feeling! All of my symptoms could be related to so many different things, and he wanted to cover everything....So the tests began immediately...urine, ekg, & blood work! How easy and convenient for a PCP, don't have to go all over town for multiple visits! They even gave me a blanket because I was rather chilly! We got finished with all the test and Dr. Jackson came back in and said he was gonna even try to help relieve or ease symptoms a little until we got blood work back!! Such a great experience and what an absolute pleasure it was meeting the staff! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jackson and his team at American Family Care...I live in a small town with tons of Dr.s in-between but it is worth the little extra drive for me to have a good doctor! I will return!!

About Iron Testing

Iron Testing is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of iron in the blood. Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Testing for iron levels helps assess iron deficiency or iron overload, both of which can have significant health implications.

Who Should Get Tested

Residents of Franklin, Kentucky, with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, and shortness of breath may benefit from Iron Testing. Individuals with certain risk factors, such as chronic blood loss, poor dietary iron intake, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, may also require testing.

Test Methods for Iron

Iron Testing typically involves measuring various components in the blood, including:

  1. Serum Iron: This measures the amount of iron circulating in the blood.
  2. Transferrin and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): These tests assess the body's capacity to bind and transport iron.
  3. Ferritin: This test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in cells and reflects iron levels in the body.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Iron Testing results involves analyzing the levels of iron, transferrin, TIBC, and ferritin. Abnormalities in these values may indicate iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.

Importance of Iron Testing

Iron Testing is important for:

  • Diagnosing iron deficiency anemia
  • Evaluating iron metabolism and storage in the body
  • Assessing the response to iron supplementation or treatment

Following the Test

After Iron Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and recommend appropriate interventions based on the test findings. Treatment options may include iron supplementation, dietary changes, and addressing the underlying cause of iron imbalance.
