I forgot my insurance card and the kind receptionist looked up my information. I got right in. The medical assistant was thorough and kind and the doctor was attentive, compassionate and helpful. 😊

1 hour wait but honestly there’s always a long wait time in healthcare. The doctor that my daughter and I just saw made the long wait worth it. Thank you. We’ll be back.

After suffering over the holidays with a sinus and eye infection, I finally gave in and went to see the doctor. The standard of care provided by the staff here was excellent. Courteous and professional. I would use them again. Plus they accepted Medicare. My only wish is that I had gone sooner and avoided a 10 day sinus headache.

Dr. McClellan was professional and knowledgeable. She was very patient and took her time listening to my concerns. She did devalue my worries but listened to me. I got an ultrasound and luckily everything was fine.The staff was friendly and the site was clean . I would recommend it to everyone and go again if I couldn’t get into my primary care Doctor .

I was a foreign visitor to the centre. I attended with my step-mum for her to receive care but little did I know that I would be back just a week later for my own treatment. On both occasions I can only describe the experience as utterly outstanding. The staff have a wicked sense of humour and you do get a sense that they genuinely care. I'm saving up for a transatlantic flight so that I can go all the way back there to annoy them the very next time that I feel unwell. Jokes aside, world-class care in a small corner of Kentucky.

So I have been dealing with this what I thought was just a cold or flu virus for 3 weeks now. Showed up between 7:05 and 7:10 and they were closed but a staff member who was walking out the door could see I wasn’t feeling very well, so they let me in and saw me on the spot. Turns out I had a sinus infection and was prescribed some antibiotics which helped clear it up. This was my 2nd trip to this urgent care in a year and must say I am thoroughly satisfied. Sometimes we just see negative reviews on places so I felt the need to share how this place went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Thanks doc for making me feel like I mattered. Thanks to the lady for letting me in after they closed (thought they closed at 8).

I am scared of the dentist and I was very nervous but Karen and Dr.Nuv was very patient and caring and I thank God I had them today or I was about to run straight out the door. But they was soothing and helped me feel comfortable and answered my questions and they checked on me as a person and I appreciate anyone who recognizes me instead of being another number..I am thankful

  • Where can I get a tetanus shot in Felicity?

    In general, tetanus shots will be available at Felicity-area urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care doctor offices, local pharmacies and travel vaccination centers. While walk-in appointments are typically available, booking a visit online will reduce your wait time and ensure you protect yourself from tetanus faster. It’s vital that you seek treatment for tetanus immediately, so make sure you make an appointment for a tetanus shot ASAP.

  • How can I book a tetanus shot in Felicity?

    Regardless of the kind of vaccine you are seeking, Solv can help you book an appointment. Simply search for Felicity-area doctors, find a provider, and book the most convenient time for you. Make sure to include “tetanus shot” as your reason for visit.

  • Who should get a tetanus shot?

    You should receive a tetanus vaccine between two months and six years old, and again as a teenager and adult. If you suspect you have come into contact with tetanus (such as via sharp rusty metal) and have not been vaccinated, seek vaccination right away as the progressions of symptoms is swift and can be life-threatening.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
