Scheduling through the app was a breeze. I ended up showing 1 min before my appointment time and was seen about 30 minutes later. Not a long wait considering there is 1 receptionist , 1 tech, and 1 provider.  The tech who triaged me was so incredibly kind and sympathetic to my current situation and very knowledgeable. I was a bit distraught when going in but she comforted me and even made me laugh through a rough moment. The tests came back very fast and the provider himself was so kind and respectful. Offering 3 kind words of encouragement at the end of the visit,  “you got this” and a fist bump as he could see I was stressed and sad. So all in all it’s always my favorite urgent care to visit if I need immediate and kind care.

Appreciate how quickly I was seen and that  prescriptions for necessary meds were sent promptly to the pharmacy  Do NOT appreciate how curt and impatient the provider was. She irritably cut me off as I shared my experience with this illness and the treatments that have and have not worked.  Immature and unprofessional  She should not wear a big cross around her neck if she’s going to be that rude to people

The NP working on Dec 10th was really attentive, the care she provided to my boy went above and beyond. We came in with my boy having respiratory issues and cough. She took X-rays and gave my boy medications he needed. She did not take any chances and recommend we send him to the ER for further care which helped him recover faster. I had to transport with my son and she stayed later to wait for my wife to come and get our car and keys I left behind for her. He ended up having rsv and pneumonia and had to be on oxygen and antibiotics. He is now taking the medications he needs and got discharged within a day. Thank you and your staff for being so kind and helping my boy recover fast enough to get home.

These folks got it all down!! Will never make the mistake and go to a different urgent care closer to me. Scheduled less than 1 hour before arriving at end of day like possibly the last patients and they took excellent care of my daughter. So quickly and testing completed rapidly . The provider was very kind and understanding. She met our needs and meds were given there . Pharmacy got the order we picked up before 9pm. The staff was all amazing !! Thank you for your service ❤️. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

My son, almost one, was throwing up throughout the night so my husband took him to the urgent care, the front staff and medical assistant were very helpful but the physician herself was extremely rude. She talked to my husband as if he himself was the child and became impatient when my son wouldn’t hold still during the ear exam. I would assume physicians would have some sort of patience but she showed that she is not one of those physicians. She did not provide a care plan to my husband, I had to contact the urgent care clinic to find out how to treat my sons sickness.

My little girl is terrified of the doctors office. She was stressing in the waiting room and crying. The attending PA was so patient and sweet! My girl gave her a huge hug.

The wait takes a little while but honestly that’s to be expected when you’re at any hospital or clinic. Everyone is very kind and accommodating. Always a very clean clinic. Only thing I would recommend is to turn the tv down in the lobby. When you’re ill and or having a headache all day the last thing you want to hear is the tv blaring. Thanks bunches ladies

We were running behind and I called to let them know ahead of time. I was assured it was fine..we showed up to our appointment 3 minutes late and waited 40 minutes to be seen. The doctors and nurses were super helpful and nice just felt a bit disappointed by the wait.

Getting tested for Tuberculosis

A tuberculosis test identifies whether or not you've ever been infected. It won't tell you whether your illness is current or latent, but it will tell you if you've had this bacterial infection before.

A tuberculosis test can be performed on the skin or in the blood. Neither test necessitates any extra preparation.

During the skin test, the TB test provider injects a small protein called PPD beneath the first layer of your skin. A positive reaction to PPD, which is generated from tuberculosis bacteria, can indicate that you have had tuberculosis. After 48 to 72 hours, the TB test provider will request that you return to the clinic so that the injection site may be thoroughly checked to confirm or rule out a positive result.

During the blood test, the TB test practitioner takes a small sample of blood from your arm with a tiny needle. Following that, your sample is sent to a lab for examination and determination of whether or not you have tuberculosis.

When you have TB symptoms, you should get a tuberculosis test. Fever, chest pain, exhaustion, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, a cough that lasts at least three weeks, and coughing up blood are all symptoms of tuberculosis.

A tuberculosis test may be ordered if you are deemed to be at high risk for tuberculosis. A weaker immune system, contact with people who have tuberculosis, or travel to a country where tuberculosis is common are all risk factors for tuberculosis. Furthermore, some employers, including healthcare facilities, correctional facilities, and people who work or volunteer at homeless shelters, require employees to receive tuberculosis tests on a regular basis.

TB Test FAQs

  • 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. This hump, which may appear red and bloated, indicates that you have tuberculosis germs in your body. During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

  • Where can I get a TB test in Shavano Park?

    Tuberculosis tests are available from a variety of healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, hospitals, walk-in clinics and laboratories, pharmacies, and urgent care clinics. If you exhibit signs of active tuberculosis, your doctor may refer you to a tuberculosis testing facility. Solv can also help you locate the top TB testing facilities in your area.

  • What is a TB test?

    tuberculosis testing available are a skin test and a blood test.

A small amount of blood is taken from your arm and submitted to a lab for confirmation of tuberculosis bacteria.

  • How long is a TB test good for?

    You should have your tuberculosis test repeated every four years, whether you test positive or negative. Tuberculosis patients who test positive may be required to have a chest X-ray before being tested every four years. Your employer or doctor may prescribe a TB test more regularly than every four years based on specific work policies or your symptoms and health status.

  • How much does a TB test cost in Shavano Park?

    A tuberculosis test's cost is determined by a number of factors, including the test's kind, provider rates, geographic location, and whether or not the test is covered by your health insurance plan. Contact each TB test provider directly to find more about price and rates, or contact your health insurance company to learn more about your TB testing benefits and coverage.

  • Does insurance cover TB testing in Shavano Park?

Some companies may reimburse the cost of tuberculosis testing if it is required at work. Contact your health insurance provider directly to learn more about your TB test benefits and coverage.

  • How often do you need a TB test in Shavano Park?

    Employers often screen employees who are required to get tested for tuberculosis every four years. If you spend time with someone who has tuberculosis or have traveled to a region where tuberculosis is common and prevalent, such as Africa or Russia, your doctor may prescribe that you get a TB test on a regular basis. Ask your employer or doctor how often you should get a TB test based on these factors.

  • How long does a TB test take in Shavano Park?

    The TB blood test usually takes less than five minutes because it involves taking a small sample of blood from your arm. The TB skin test is also quick, but you'll need to come back to the clinic 48 to 72 hours later to have the injection site checked for a reaction. When you call to schedule a tuberculosis test, the provider will be able to give you a more exact time estimate.
