During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

My sister got covid unfortunately while we were traveling to Chicago. We called the closest urgent care at about 12:40 pm, which happened to be Aayu in Wicker Park. They said they could see her before 1 pm. She wasn't in the clinic long to get a test to confirm if she had it, and they expedited the test and emailed her by 3 pm to say she had it. Then they expedited a paxlovid prescription right up the street that she was able to pick up quickly. By 5 pm she was quarantined completely, and she was better already a few days later. Thank you SO MUCH, Aayu, for taking such good care of my sister. I know her long-term health and immediate outcome are both better for having been there. I appreciate you and your efficiency of care so much! I will recommend you to anybody and everybody in that area.

We have been to the South Elgin Advocate Sherman urgent care center for both outpatient testing & urgent care. We have had GREAT care every time we have been there with our kids of all ages for various things & ourselves as well. Hands down, we MUCH prefer the Sherman urgent care to Sherman Hospital ER or even Delnor ER. We have a special needs kiddo & Sherman UC was GREAT with her. We have scheduled online every time we have gone there, & every time they have always called us back within 10-15 minutes of our appointment time, if not BEFORE our appointment time. I have had prenatal ultrasounds there, & other ultrasounds were performed on some of our kiddos there (newborn to teen). The techs have always been great & results were sent to our doctors quickly. When we have a choice to go to an ER or Sherman Urgent Care, we go to Sherman UC without any hesitation. We love that it is NOT loaded with sick people coughing all over, is actually CLEAN (well, as clean as a medical facility will be due to the nature of the business), & everybody is FRIENDLY. A++
