What does a positive TB test look like?

When you take the TB skin test, a huge bump will appear on your arm at the injection site if you have had a TB infection.

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

I have been to this specific Well Now location several times over the last few years both for myself and when bringing others (I always insist everyone I know go here). I have never waited more than 15 minutes at most and I have always been greeted by a very friendly staff member at the front desk. They definitely strive to be efficient and I have never had a bad interaction with the staff. Being a college student, they have always taken the time to explain anything from insurance to prescriptions and have made me feel comfortable. During my last visit when I was bringing someone else to be treated, I was offered snacks and even a card trick performed by a staff member to pass the time.

I spoke to Merari this morning. Although the facility was unable to help me... she was both personable and professional. She also helped me get the information that I needed AND directed me to the location that could help me. WE NEED MORE CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THIS!!! A BIG shout out to Merari for her help. I will be reaching out to her for more medical needs. THANK YOU MERARI.

I can only relate to the several times I've had to use this facility and all those visits have been satisfactory. Remember, it is an urgent care facility which means, depending on what they already have going on when you arrive that's how long you will have to wait. If you have a life or death emergency you should call 911! I have had very competent clinicians attend me on my visits and other support staff are usually friendly and accommodating. If you need something, just be respectful, and reasonable and you will get the same in return. :-)
