I was able to book an appointment in a timely manner. When I went in, I had a sore throat and ear pain. The NP walked in spoke with me and told me what I had and nothing she could give me. Was told I didn’t not have an ear infection even though I was complaining for ear pain and drainage. I was examined by another provider the next day and was told I HAVE an ear infection. Not to mention the NP told me that she didn’t think I had strep but would have me tested because she said “I’ve been known to say it’s not strep but then it ends up being strep.” I am not sure that I will continue to go here anymore after that experience.

So amazing these caring souls that work here! I came in last minute with my daughter and in the kerfuffle of illness and getting her there on time we forgot her ID. The appointment I had originally was at 6:30 and they close at 7. We didn’t get back there with the ID until 6:50. The angel at the front desk called me to see if I was still coming! They helped us thoroughly, thoughtfully and with incredible kindness. Thank you immensely.

The PA was kind and non alarming!  I didn’t feel that way with the previous visit 2 days before! She explained things carefully, so I understood what I was dealing with and prescribed the correct medication! The previous PA told me I would get a call with the results of my urine  test, but I never got that call and my antibiotics needed to be changed. I developed a fever and came in again! Not sure why I never got that call???

Lomita Vitamin D Tests

A vitamin D test can tell you if you're getting enough vitamin D or if you're low in the vitamin. Vitamin D is required for healthy bones and a strong immune system. Vitamin D deficiency may increase your risk of bone issues like fractures and osteoporosis.

Vitamin D may be found in a variety of foods and is also created by your body when you are exposed to sunshine. Vitamin D shortage can occur if you don't eat enough vitamin D-rich foods or if you don't get enough sun. Vitamin D deficiency can be caused by kidney disease, liver disease, and other illnesses.

A vitamin D test may be beneficial for those who are experiencing symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, such as bone weakness, softness, deformity, and fractures. People who are at risk for vitamin D deficiency may benefit from a vitamin D test. Obesity, a dark complexion, bone disorders like osteoporosis, and having had gastric bypass surgery are all significant vitamin D deficient risk factors (a type of weight loss surgery that prevents the body from fully absorbing nutrients).

Vitamin D levels are determined using a blood test. During this test, your healthcare provider will remove a little sample of blood from your arm using a tiny needle. Your blood sample will then be sent to a laboratory to be tested for vitamin D levels. A vitamin D test takes about five minutes to complete and does not necessitate any additional preparation.

If your tests show you're deficient in vitamin D, your doctor will work with you to figure out why your levels are low and, if necessary, devise a treatment plan to increase your vitamin D intake. This could involve adding more vitamin D-rich items to your diet, taking vitamin D supplements, spending more time in the sun, or taking a vitamin D supplement.

Vitamin D Test FAQs

  • How much does a vitamin D test cost in Lomita?

    A multitude of factors influence the price of a vitamin D test, including testing provider rates, geographic location, and whether or not your health insurance plan covers this test. Your health plan may cover vitamin D testing if your doctor thinks it medically necessary; but, at-home vitamin D tests may not be covered. Inquire with the vitamin D testing firm about the costs of a vitamin D test.

  • Does insurance cover vitamin D testing in Lomita?

    Your health insurance plan may cover the cost of vitamin D testing if your doctor believes that it is medically necessary based on your symptoms and health condition. You should get a vitamin D test if you have symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or if you meet the risk factors for vitamin D deficiency. Contact your health insurance provider directly to learn more about your perks and coverage.

  • Who should get a vitamin D test in Lomita?

    A vitamin D test can determine whether you're getting enough vitamin D to stay healthy and protect yourself from illness and disease. A vitamin D test is also recommended for those who have vitamin D insufficiency symptoms or who have risk factors for vitamin D deficiency, such as osteoporosis, obesity, or a dark complexion.

  • How do they test for vitamin D deficiency in Lomita?

    A blood test for vitamin D deficiency can be performed to identify vitamin D deficiency. Vitamins D2 and D3 in the bloodstream convert to 25-hydroxy vitamin D, which can be measured with a vitamin D test to check whether you're deficient. For a vitamin D blood test, a tiny needle is used to extract a little sample of blood from a vein in your arm. Your sample is then examined in a lab to check if you are vitamin D deficient.

  • How do I read vitamin D test results?

    The unit of measurement for vitamin D is nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). A normal range is defined as any figure between 20 and 40 ng/mL, while other medical experts consider between 30 and 50 ng/mL is typical. With the help of your doctor or the vitamin D test provider, you can usually understand the results of your vitamin D test.

  • What does low vitamin D mean?

    Low vitamin D levels could indicate a vitamin D deficiency in your diet or insufficient sun exposure for your body to manufacture vitamin D. Low vitamin D levels could also indicate that your body's ability to absorb vitamin D is being impeded by a medical condition. Your doctor can assist you in identifying and treating the underlying causes of low vitamin D levels.

  • How long does it take to get vitamin D test results in Lomita?

    A vitamin D test might take anywhere from a few days to a week to get results. Test results may be delayed due to factors such as lab productivity and staffing, as well as the time it takes for your doctor to advise you of your results. Your doctor can give you a more accurate time frame for receiving your test results.

  • Where should I get a vitamin D test in Lomita?

    Vitamin D tests are available from a variety of sources, including primary care physicians, urgent care clinics, walk-in laboratories, hospitals, and wellness centers. At-home vitamin D tests are also available from a variety of retailers. Find the top vitamin D testing services in your region with Solv.

  • How accurate are vitamin D tests?

    The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test is the most precise method for determining vitamin D levels in your body right now. Some drugs, such as phenobarbital, isoniazid, and corticosteroids, have been shown to affect the accuracy of vitamin D assays. Your doctor may urge you to cease taking any medications that have been found to affect vitamin D test results for a few days before your test.
