I scheduled an online visit for my teenage daughter with complete ease. From the moment we walked into the waiting room and then to the treatment room and again at our exit we were greeted by the kindest and professional staff. They were wonderful to us and very concerned about caring for my daughter and getting her what she needed. Our provider was especially kind and in depth with her medical care. Each time a staff member left the treatment room my daughter said, “They are so nice mom.” I was very satisfied with the care and felt great about what the provider diagnosed and recommended for treatment. Also the clinic was super clean! Stacy Dennis

Woke up this morning with dizziness and loss of balance along with night sweats, insomnia and body aches. Sign in was easy. I was taken to the back to get vitals done. I provided a list of all the medications I already take to the person taking my vitals. I was taken to a room afterwards and an assistant came in and swabbed my nostrils for the flu and COVID in which the results were negative. I also did a urine test. Doctor Jasmine Hudson, NP, came in and asked a few questions and advised me that I was dehydrated and was going through menopause. She advised she could prescribe me something for sleep and menopause. I was prescribed Venlafaxine 25 mg tablets and Hydroxyzine palpate 50 mg capsules. I had already provided a list of medications I take to the lady doing my vitals. The two medications the Doctor  prescribed for me cannot be taken with the fluoxetine I already take. My pharmacist made me aware of that when I was picking up the prescriptions. I’m not sure if the doctor had read my chart at all. I ended up not buying the Venlafaxine and just purchased the Hydroxyzine. The pharmacist said not to take it and the Fluoxetine together at the same time to see if any side effects would result. I will try this just to see and stop taking it if it results in any side effects.  I’m not satisfied with the prescriptions I was provided due to the prescriptions I already take. I do not recommend being seen by Dr. Jasmine Hudson, NP because I feel she overlooked the prescription Fluoxetine I take and prescribed another antidepressant that she said was for menopause. I recommend the provider but not the doctor/NP.

Had a back ache for a couple of days then welts appeared.  I was able to walk in & be seen same day for a definitive diagnosis of what I thought was going on. Sign in is all online & you have to do it all yourself & waiting time to be seen initially was @20 minutes & once n a room it was about an hour. There were only 2 patients in the facility. So wait time was kinda long but OK. Grateful to be seen! Definitely would recommend.

As a VERY complex patient with an extensive health history involving Leukemia and a Bone Marrow Transplant, getting a simple cold can be scary.  Mainly because trusting just any doctor to evaluate your simple cold means they are treading on very thin ice because they weren't there during all of your journey to know how delicate you are.  This facility just opened a few weeks ago and when I became sick with sinus junk, I didn't want to go to the ER.  So, I chose to be seen here in Chelsea.  The doctor was VERY attentive to my explanation of my history and was very cautious but thorough.  I felt like I was in very good hands.  I will be returning should I have future health issues.

Homewood Mono Tests

A mono test can be used to identify mononucleosis, which is an infectious viral disease. Mono is caused by several viruses, the most common of which being the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Mono can afflict persons of any age, although it affects teenagers and young adults the most frequently and visibly. Mono will develop in one out of every four teenagers and adults infected with EBV.

If you have mono symptoms, your doctor may order or perform a mono test for you. Mono symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck or armpits, which are quite similar to the flu.

Mono tests come in two forms: the monospot test and the EBV antibody test. In the blood, the monospot test searches for specific mono antibodies, whereas the EBV test looks for antibodies specific to EBV. Both tests require a blood sample, which can be taken from a vein in your arm or from your finger. A mono test may be used with other tests, such as a complete blood count or throat culture, to confirm or rule out a mono diagnosis.

Because a tiny needle is used to sample blood from your finger or arm, a mono test takes less than five minutes to conduct. Your blood is extracted into a small tube or vial and tested in minutes to discover if antibodies suggestive of mono are present. A mono test requires no preparation, though it may cause minor side effects like as discomfort or bruising at the injection site, which usually subsides after a few minutes.

If your mono test is positive, your doctor will talk to you about your treatment options. Mono normally goes away on its own after a few weeks, although some people may experience long-term fatigue. Getting enough sleep and drinking enough of water are essential.

Mono Test FAQs

  • How much does a mono test cost Homewood?

    A mono test's price is determined by a number of factors, including test provider pricing, geographic location, and whether or not your health insurance plan covers the test. To discover more about your benefits and coverage, contact the mono test provider directly.

  • Does insurance cover mono testing?

    Mono testing is covered by many health insurance policies, especially if your doctor determines that it is medically necessary based on your symptoms and current health status. Contact your health insurance provider directly to see if mono testing is covered. Some mono test companies will check your insurance benefits to determine if this test is covered.

  • Who should get tested for mononucleosis Homewood?

    Anyone experiencing mono symptoms should be tested for the virus to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Mono symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck and armpits, which are similar to flu symptoms. Mono can affect everyone, but it affects teenagers and young adults more frequently.

  • How do they test for mono Homewood?

    Blood is drawn from your fingertip or an arm vein for a mono test. Both methods have a lot in common. The testing provider will pierce your finger with a little needle and draw blood into a small tube or vial during the fingertip test. A little needle will be inserted into your arm to draw blood into a small tube or vial to collect blood from a vein in your arm by the testing provider.

  • How long does a mono test take Homewood?

    A mono test is reasonably quick, requiring no more than five minutes whether blood is drawn from your fingertip or arm. Mono tests don't normally necessitate any preparation and don't cause any downtime. Even though a mono test only takes a few minutes, your session may last longer if you have to wait your turn. Check the duration of the mono testing and your appointment with the mono testing provider ahead of time.

  • How long does it take to get mono test results?

    Mono test results are often available within five to ten minutes, while some mono test kits can take up to an hour to complete. Contact the mono testing provider for more information on when your mono testing results will be returned. In most situations, your test results will be available the same day you take it.

  • Where should I get a mono test Homewood?

    Whether blood is obtained from your fingertip or your arm, a mono test takes no more than five minutes. Mono testing usually does not require any preparation and does not result in any downtime. Even though a mono test is only a few minutes long, it can take longer if you have to wait for your turn. Before you go, double-check the duration of the test and your appointment with the mono testing provider.

  • How accurate are mono tests?

    Mono tests have been demonstrated to be trustworthy, with an accuracy rate of 95 to 100 percent. Mono tests that just search for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies, on the other hand, have been shown to produce fewer false negatives than other antibody tests. False-positive findings can arise in patients who have been infected with specific diseases such as HIV, lymphoma, or rubella, because antibodies from these diseases can stay in the bloodstream for up to a year.

  • How can I book a mono test through Solv?

    One of the simplest ways to arrange a mono test is to use Solv, which generates a list of the best mono test providers, along with their contact information. Type "mono test" into the "What" section on our home page, then choose your location from the "Where" selection box to the right. Select your favorite mono test provider from the list provided, then use the contact information to schedule a same-day appointment.

  • Can I do at-home mono testing?

    There are no at-home mono test kits available to diagnose mono in yourself or a loved one in the comfort of your own home at this time. A blood draw is required for this test, which must be done by a certified and experienced medical expert. A mono test may be performed at your house by some healthcare providers, but there are no test kits accessible for self-testing at home.
