Realized that I had symptoms of a UTI. I called for an appointment and was able to be seen within an hour. Check-in was easily done online before I arrived. When I arrived at office I received a friendly welcome and was seen within minutes. My care was provided by Brandy Zerby, who was very kind, competent, and professional. This is my second time utilizing Indi Urgent Care and I am incredibly pleased with the service I have received at both visits. Excellent service!

Mary Bridge Children's Urgent Care is my favorite urgent care to go to. Convenient online scheduling, easy check-in process, fast wait times, concerns are addressed appropriately, friendly staff, and you're out in about an hour from start to finish. The only area that could be improved is if you have questions after your appointment, it's hard to get a hold of anyone, and then you don't get a call back. I highly recommend Mary Bridge Children's Urgent Care

Everything is easy and quick.  Staff is great and so pleasant.  Provider knew exactly what to do.  Co pay is less than a visit to my primary.  Please keep this location open.  We need it.

Scheduling was easy via Solv, but no coordination between Solv and the office resulted in multiple duplicate bookings and unacceptable wait time.  2:30 appointment confirmed by Solv, actual check-in 4:55.  Staff was friendly and courteous, but front desk staff was overwhelmed.  Provider and staff were prompt once I was checked in and appointment was quick and efficient.  Care and bedside manner were top notch.

Unbelievable care and kindness shown by everyone at the Ruston Indigo! I called and was told I would have to make an appointment for the next day, filled out all the information on line, very user friendly! I received a call that evening and was told they had room for me. Ten minutes later I was being seen. X-rays and care was a breeze and I was home in 2 hours! A well oiled machine. Thank you Multicare for staffing and providing such a wonderful facility. Kudos to all 🙏

This is on a Saturday, I had very badly infected thumb with great pain I had been awake most of the night and was exhausted when I arrived I was greeted by a extremely friendly and professional medical staff. There was a wait time,but I was told that I could go home and they would text me when it time for my appointment and I could return. I was able to go home and rest. I was texted a about 2hrs later, when I arrived back again I was seeing the Doctor after a less than 10min wait . He was calm and professional and friendly, he was able to diagnosis my problem with my thumb and set a course of treatment. This was a positive experience, the fact that I was able to go home and return making the wait time seem considerably less was a bonus. Great staff Great experience.

So convenient to go on the phone app and find an appointment! Got in early and I don't think I waited 5 minutes before I was taken back. Was in and out in probably 15 minutes or less with a prescription sent to my Pharmacy.

Was trying to make it to work but that didn’t happen because my knee was in so much pain  Then that’s when I decided it’s to to get checked because I’ve never felt the kind of pain I had since after my surgery. I went online to find an Urgent care still open is when I called to be seen as a walk in patient on my way I was amaze how I was still getting text messages to confirm my being seen . I expected a long wait being in the pain I was in it came to me as another surprise my wait time was the least I expected as it was less than 10 minutes this the shortest time I’ve ever waited in my life time let alone the nurses and Doctor were super kind and helpful I loved my visit with nearly no wait time I would come back to that urgent care anytime

Overview of STD Testing in Tumwater

Who should get tested for STDs?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anyone who is sexually active should consider regular STD testing. This is particularly important for those with multiple sexual partners, those who have had unprotected sex, and those who have never been tested before. It's also essential for pregnant women, as untreated STDs can have severe implications for both the mother and the baby.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial for many reasons. Firstly, many STDs do not show symptoms, meaning you could be infected and unknowingly spreading the disease. Regular testing can help identify these silent infections and prevent further transmission. Secondly, early detection of STDs can lead to more effective treatment and prevent long-term health complications. Lastly, getting tested promotes sexual health awareness and responsibility, contributing to a healthier community.

STD testing options in Tumwater, WA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics are excellent options for STD testing in Tumwater. These facilities often offer same-day appointments, which you can book through Solv. One highly-rated option is Indigo in Tumwater, known for its friendly staff and clean facilities.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are another reliable option for STD testing. They can provide comprehensive sexual health services, including testing, treatment, and counseling.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or with limited financial resources, free STD testing is available at various community health centers. These centers provide essential healthcare services to the community, including STD testing and treatment.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing is a convenient option for those who prefer privacy or cannot visit a healthcare facility. These tests can be ordered online, and the samples can be collected at home and sent to a lab for analysis.

Prevalence of STDs in Tumwater

Tumwater, located in Pierce County, has seen a rise in STD cases over the past few years. According to the CDC, the most common STDs in the area include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. The rates of these STDs in Tumwater are slightly higher than the national average, emphasizing the need for regular testing and awareness.

Risk factors related to STDs in Tumwater

Several factors contribute to the prevalence of STDs in Tumwater. These include high-risk behaviors such as unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, and substance abuse. Social and economic factors such as lack of access to healthcare, poverty, and stigma around STD testing also play a role. Efforts to address these risk factors through education, access to testing and treatment, and community support are crucial in controlling the spread of STDs in Tumwater.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Tumwater?

    In a doctor's office, a health clinic, or an urgent care center, you can get an STD test. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to visit a doctor's office, where they can also treat you or issue you a prescription. While some Tumwater clinics and urgent care centers allow walk-in appointments, it's advisable to make an appointment ahead of time to prevent excessive waits.

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

    Various testing are required for various STDs. Depending on the type of STD test you took, you may receive your results in two to ten days. Some outcomes may be immediately available. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an STD through a physical examination. In some cases, your doctor's office may only contact you if your test results are positive.

  • How much does an STD test cost in Tumwater?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by several factors, including where you are tested, the type of test you need, and if you have health insurance. Some Tumwater clinics may offer free testing or testing on a sliding scale based on your income. Because of the cost, don't put off obtaining an STD test. With your doctor's office, discuss the cost and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment may have catastrophic implications.

  • Does insurance cover STD testing in Tumwater?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by a number of factors, including the location of the test, the type of test required, and whether or not you have health insurance. Some clinics may provide free or sliding-scale testing, depending on your income. Don't let the expense of an STD test deter you from getting one. With your doctor's office, discuss the price and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment could have catastrophic ramifications.

  • How do they test for STDs in Tumwater?

    There are around 20 different forms of STDs, each with its own set of diagnostic tests. No single test exists that can detect all types of STDs. Your doctor can help you figure out which tests you'll need. In STD testing, a blood sample or a urine sample may be used. Your doctor may also take a swab from the inside of your cheek, your vaginal area, or another potentially infected place.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    Blood tests are used to diagnose hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. In a laboratory, a technician examines a blood sample for antibodies that the body has produced in reaction to disease. The virus's DNA can also be detected by several blood tests. Remember that if you've recently been exposed to an STD and your body hasn't yet produced antibodies, you could test negative even if you have the disease.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for STD testing in Tumwater?

    Many Tumwater, WA urgent care providers offer same-day and next-day appointments, which you may book through Solv. To make healthcare more accessible to everyone, we collaborate with thousands of top-rated local providers. Our physician partners understand that waiting days, if not weeks, for an appointment isn't always the best option, and they share our commitment to simple, accessible health care.

  • Can I test myself for STDs at home?

    Although there are several STD home tests available, not all of them are accurate. The accuracy of any STD test is determined by the quality of the sample taken. For home STD kits, a blood sample, a urine sample, or both are frequently required. Because doctors and nurses have more experience collecting samples, traditional in-office STD testing is the most accurate.
