Amazing Urgent care! I went today after I fell and hurt my shoulder and hand. I was seen right away by Dianne who took my vitals, list of my meds, and listened to what happened. She later did my XRays. She is so kind and competent. I couldn't get my medals off due to shoulder pain, she took care of that all the while being so friendly, funny and down to earth. I saw Dr. Wison before and after my XRay. He is amazing at his job. He examined my shoulder and hand to see what I was capable of doing, wrote up the order for the XRays and then explained everything to me in a clear and patient manner. The man at the front desk (didnt catch his name) was also very efficient and friendly. I highly recommend AFC Urgent Care in Norwood. This is by far the best experience I've had at an urgent care!

What is the point of having an appointment when it doesn’t matter? I was scheduled for 11:50AM, walked in at 1135, just to be seen at 1pm. What is the incentive of making appointments if walk ins are being seen before me?

I had a long wait with flu symptoms but I understand that, with many people needing to be seen. My caregivers were wonderful and attentive. The worst part of my experience happened after being discharged. I had a Rx called in at the CVS down the street. I was told it would not be ready for another 15-20 minutes. I went home, came back and waited 15 more minutes in line. I was then told to go to another CVS and they would have it. They said they didn’t have it and to go to North Providence. At this point, I said no thank you. On my way home, I stopped at my CVS and explained what happened to a young man that played high school ball for us (I am an Athletic Director). He later got out of work and delivered the Rx to my house at 9pm. If not, I would have been delayed by hours to get my first dose. Thankfully, I have been slowly improving throughout the day.

I have been there several times (stitches, X-ray, Covid test) and always a very good experience. I recognized one doctor as the ER doctor at the “real” hospital and then said “this place is ‘real’ too”

My experience at Urgent Care at Harbor Medical was good. I was unable to get into my PCP, so went to Urgent Care. They were very nice, explained everything carefully and did all they could for me. They sent me to the ER to complete my testing.

About TIBC Testing

Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Testing is a diagnostic test that measures the capacity of proteins in the blood to bind and transport iron. TIBC is used in conjunction with other iron tests to assess iron status and identify conditions like iron deficiency anemia or iron overload.

Who Should Get Tested

Residents of Somerset, Massachusetts, who are suspected to have iron-related disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia or hereditary hemochromatosis, may benefit from TIBC Testing. Additionally, individuals with symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pale skin may require testing.

Test Methods for TIBC

TIBC Testing is performed using a blood sample. It is often part of a panel that includes serum iron, transferrin, and ferritin measurements.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of TIBC Testing results involves analyzing the capacity of iron-binding proteins in the blood. Abnormalities in TIBC levels, along with other iron test results, may indicate iron deficiency or iron overload.

Importance of TIBC Testing

TIBC Testing is important for:

  • Assessing iron metabolism and transport in the body
  • Differentiating between iron deficiency anemia and iron overload conditions
  • Monitoring the response to iron treatment or other interventions

Following the Test

After TIBC 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 further evaluation for underlying conditions affecting iron status.
