Urgent Care for Children, Madison - 8490 Hwy 72 W
I used the Solv app to get what I thought was a place in line.  I spoke to Urgent Care and determined you have to physically check in to start your place in line.  They set wait time expectations accurately upon checkin.  The care giver ran tests to rule out certain issues and then provided a prescription for what the ailment is

Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care, Madison (AL) - 300 Hughes Rd
Very kind!!!  Caring.  Didn’t rush you out when seeing professional care. All medical staff cared and treated you completely, not just get them in and get them out.  I hated the wait time in the lobby, but the lady that  handled front task is AWESOME.  She made it easier to wait.  I work in a medical office, and offered her a job.   Yes, I would recommend.

I was very surprised with my experience here. My appointment was made very quickly. I was seen in a very short period of time. My test results came back in a very timely manner. I was able to speak with a doctor soon after and was taking care of. I was very satisfied with the experience I had here. I definitely recommend using them for any issues you have or any questions you may have.

I’ve literally never encountered such a nice set of medical professionals. I had an injury that made me unable to walk, and the staff was incredibly understanding and accommodating with wheeling me around the office. Everyone was kind, the nurse was super thorough in walking me through the procedures, and I’ll definitely be back if I have medical issues in the future.

We moved from another state to Alabama (which is scary when you don't know anyone or where to be seen) I made a new paitent appointment in April at a primary care Dr. and could not be seen until mid July. This was the only place that everyone from staff to the Dr. actually listened to what was going on, talked to me like a normal person, were super nice about everything and were quick about getting me in and out with the prescriptions needed. Thank y'all so much for everything you did for me both times I went!!!

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.

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.
