I filled out paperwork online and was given a time and they got me back before then. I had to have an X-ray of my hand. Jessica Brasfield was so attentive and did such a great job with X-ray. The doctor Christine was wonderful as well when she came to examine me and was very through.

Had symptoms and confirmed UTI.  Also , had suffered with a migraine for a couple of days. Staff was very concerned and caring. Only disappointing concern was they were out of migraine medication and no nurse to inject it.   Still received great care with antibiotic injection with Tordol. Thank you for a nice experience.

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.
