Dr. Michael Eicher and his staff are awesome! The service was a-1 the staff was kind and efficient. I've. Been to uab which is one of the best in the nation and the care at southern immediate care on lakeshore in alabama is second to none. I was so impressed by Dr. Eicher and his staff that I informed him that my primary doctor at uab is retiring effective this year . I ask if he would like to be my primary doctor and he said yes! So just coming in for a d.o..t. physical has convinced me to be a primary patient at southern immediate care because of the excellent service and care I received.

If I could give Southern Immediate Care 6 stars, I would. Everyone we encountered was helpful and efficient. Rachel explained my symptoms and provided instructions and a prescription clearly and made sure I knew she was there if anything else came up. If you need an urgent care, all this place first.

Staff was pleasant and professional. Scheduling was fine and e-paperwork was easy. Our only issue was with check-in upon arrival. Scheduled appt ahead of time, arrived at our appointment time, checked in with front desk and paid co-pay, told we would be called back shortly. Received confirmation of check-in 50 min after appointment time. Itโ€™s not an unbearable time to wait but in the moment with a child burning in fever and weak, it felt like an eternity especially seeing later arrivals called back. I do understand some cases are more urgent than others. Staff addressed my concern and called us back within 20 minutes of bringing it to their attention. Front desk receptionist said it was an issue with moving our appointment from one screen to another. We were treated with care and were well on our way within 30 minutes of being called back. Total time 2 hours. Not too bad. Just make sure you receive a text confirmation that youโ€™ve been checked-in.

My son rolled his ankle a few days prior. I decided to take him to get it looked at. As soon as I walked in I was greater with a smile and the friendliest staff! The wait time was little to nothing and there was not one person that I came in contact with that was not just absolutely wonderful! Iโ€™ve been to a lot of urgent cares having three kids that are wild and a lot of the time itโ€™s not very pleasant. This was by far the best experience weโ€™ve ever had.! We will definitely go out of the way to come back here next time.!

I felt bad all day and thought I would be able to shrug it off but decided to go in right after dinner. The receptionist was very kind and welcoming and got me checked in quickly, the triage nurse was very attentive and listened to my symptoms, and the NP, Justin, spent a good amount of time following my symptoms and listening to heart and lungs and ears. ย They treated me with great care. I highly recommend.

Appointment was at 2:20 and we waited an hour to be seen. There should be no reason a sick child should have to wait that long at an urgent care. Schedule less patients so we can get quality care in a timely manner. I also asked the Dr for nausea meds and she refused and told her to gargle salt water. That is absurd. I always bring my children here but I'm going to find a different urgent care for them after this visit.

I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Birmingham Diagnostic Tests

A variety of diagnostic tests are used to diagnose, assess, and treat a variety of medical conditions. These tests can also be used to track the progression of an illness and determine whether or not treatments are working properly. Your doctor may order or perform one or more diagnostic tests to confirm or rule out specific health diseases if your symptoms are similar to those of other disorders.

There are currently more than 110 diagnostic tests and methods accessible for testing in a variety of healthcare settings. Each test is unique, with its own set of specifications. Some tests, for example, require you to fast for many hours or temporarily stop taking certain medications, while others do not. For

Diagnostic tests are available that are both invasive and non-invasive. Invasive testing typically involves puncturing the skin or body with injections, surgery, or other methods. Biopsies, endoscopies, and cryotherapy are examples of invasive diagnostic tests. Non-invasive treatments avoid penetrating or puncturing the body and are linked to a lower risk of problems and negative effects. Eye exams, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and chest X-rays are examples of non-invasive diagnostic testing procedures.

Your doctor or the diagnostic testing provider can give you with more information on what to expect. This contains information on how to prepare for the test, how the test works, how long it lasts, and what to expect throughout the test.

Diagnostic Test FAQs

  • How much does a diagnostic test cost in Birmingham?

    The cost of a diagnostic test is governed by a variety of factors, including the type of test, the rate charged by the testing provider, and the geographic region. Many health insurance policies cover the expense of diagnostic testing in part or in full. Getting an estimate directly from the testing firm is the simplest way to find out how much a diagnostic test will cost.

  • Does insurance cover diagnostic testing?

    Yes, many health insurance plans will cover the price of diagnostic testing, particularly if your doctor believes the tests are medically necessary based on your symptoms or health condition. Contact your health insurance provider to learn more about your diagnostic testing coverage and perks. Some diagnostic test providers may also validate your insurance benefits for you as a service.

  • What is a diagnostic test?

    A diagnostic test is a procedure or test used by your doctor to aid in the diagnosis of an illness, disease, or medical condition. Colonoscopy, mammography, biopsy, computed tomography (CT) scan, and endoscopy are just a handful of the various diagnostic procedures that your doctor may use to find or rule out certain health issues. Diagnostic tests can also be used to track the progression of a disease and determine how effective specific treatments are.

  • What types of diagnostic tests are there in Birmingham?

    There are now over 110 diagnostic tests available. These examinations can be invasive or non-invasive, and imaging can be included or excluded. Invasive procedures include puncturing the skin or entering the body by injections, surgery, or colonoscopy. Puncturing or entrance into the body is not required with non-invasive procedures. Non-invasive diagnostic tests include saliva testing, X-rays, and ultrasounds.

  • How long does diagnostic testing take in Birmingham?

    Diagnostic testing might take anything from a few minutes to many days, depending on the type and nature of the test. A flu test, for example, can be performed with a tongue swab in one or two minutes, whereas some imaging tests may require two visits to the lab. Your doctor will be able to estimate the duration of your diagnostic test.

  • Where should I get diagnostic testing in Birmingham?

    Diagnostic testing can be performed in a doctor's office, an urgent care clinic, a hospital, a drugstore, a pharmacy, or any other healthcare facility. Most likely, your doctor will refer you to a specialist or provider who specializes in the diagnostic testing you need. Solv can also help you locate the best diagnostic testing providers in your area.

  • How is diagnostic testing done in Birmingham?

    Each diagnostic test is carried out differently depending on the nature of the process. A blood test may be used to diagnose diabetes, while mammography may be used to diagnose breast cancer. An interval of several hours may be required for some diagnostic examinations. Your doctor or diagnostic testing provider will describe the procedure for your test and what you should do to prepare.

  • How accurate are diagnostic tests in Birmingham?

    Before being used to diagnose and treat patients in medical settings, many diagnostic tests are rigorously studied and tested for accuracy. Diagnostic testing, on the other hand, can occasionally provide false positives or negatives. As a result, if your results aren't correct or if your disease can't be identified properly solely on test results, your doctor may suggest more testing.

  • How can I book a diagnostic test through Solv?

    You may use Solv to find diagnostic testing providers in your area and make an appointment instantly. On our homepage, type in the type of diagnostic test or service you need, then choose your location from the dropdown option to the right. Solv will provide you with a list of highly reputable diagnostic test providers in your area, as well as the opportunity to call them and make an appointment right on the internet.

  • Can I do at-home diagnostic testing?

    At-home diagnostic tests such as food sensitivity testing, hepatitis C tests, and Lyme disease tests are accessible online or at a local pharmacy or drugstore. Some of these tests require a prescription from your doctor and the submission of your results to a laboratory for examination. You can receive some of the results through email. Consult your doctor to learn more about the accuracy and benefits of at-home diagnostic testing, as well as whether this service is ideal for you.
