It’s
not
often
I
leave
reviews,
but
for
something
health
related,
I
feel
this
is
important.
The
receptionist
was
polite
and
the
check-in,
while
a
little
lengthy,
was
fine.
I
went
in
fairly
confident
that
I
had
strep
throat,
as
I’d
had
it
many
times
before
and
I
know
my
body
pretty
well
(I’d
had
a
102
fever
the
previous
day,
sore
and
swollen
tonsils
with
a
bit
of
white
on
them,
and
a
headache).
I
was
visiting
in
the
area,
so
I
couldn’t
go
to
my
usual
place.
They
did
a
rapid
strep
test,
but
the
person
who
took
the
swab
didn’t
even
use
a
tongue
depressor
to
really
get
back
there
-
he
just
swabbed
quickly
to
the
point
where
it
didn’t
even
prompt
me
to
cough
(which
was
strange
given
all
the
other
strep
tests
that
I’ve
had
in
the
past
have
used
a
tongue
depressor
and
made
me
cough
due
to
how
far
back
and
long
the
swab
was).
He
didn’t
even
seem
to
be
looking
directly
into
my
mouth,
frankly.
The
rapid
came
back
negative,
and
they
were
saying
I
could
have
a
virus
that’s
been
going
around.
I
had
to
insist
on
getting
a
strep
culture
test
-
they
didn’t
think
to
without
my
asking.
A
culture
should
take
48
hours
to
get
results;
they
sent
the
culture
out
on
Sunday
morning
and
I
heard
back
Thursday
afternoon
that
it
was
negative.
I
had
called
twice
on
Tuesday,
and
the
evening
receptionist
told
me
that
it
was
“way
too
early”
for
results
to
come
back,
which
is
false.
Meanwhile,
I
had
gone
to
a
different
urgent
care
closer
to
my
home
on
Wednesday,
and
the
rapid
strep
(done
properly)
came
back
positive.
If
I
had
relied
on
the
AFC
urgent
care’s
results,
which
said
the
culture
test
was
negative,
I
would
still
be
suffering
with
strep
(which
is
serious
when
untreated).
Thankfully,
I
got
antibiotics
prescribed
from
the
local
clinic
back
where
I
live
after
the
positive
rapid
strep
there
on
Wednesday,
and
I’m
already
starting
to
feel
improved
today.
This
place
seems
fine
for
if
you
have
a
cold
or
need
a
doctor’s
note
to
verify
that
you’re
sick
for
work,
but
if
you
have
a
legitimate
health
concern,
I’d
encourage
looking
elsewhere.
