Strep Tests near me
in Astoria, NY

It was the evening of July 3. I had experienced clogged sinuses along with gum and tooth pain previously but this time it was much worse than usual. This time I was also experiencing pain on swallowing.  Over a period of time (years) I was in a vicious cycle between my dentist, Endodontist, and ENT. No one could figure it out. The dentist and Endodontist felt that a back tooth might need extraction.  None of these were not respected practitioners.  So in going to Urgent Care at the Nathaniel Place location my expectations were modest.  But I felt awful.  The young woman that performed my intake was very professional and noted all my symptoms. Then PA Timothy While came in to examine me. He too was extremely professional. He LISTENED  carefully to all my symptoms - whole cloth - and noted as well the symptoms that I lacked, such as running a temperature.  My final helpful “add” to describing my symptoms to him was that “I just feel really crummy”.   PA White absolutely nailed the diagnosis.  He felt that it was sinus related and that a post nasal drip was causing inflammation and creating all this pain. He clearly EXPLAINED why he felt that this was the correct diagnosis. He prescribed a very short course of Prednisone plus a 14-day treatment with Fluticasone Proprionate.  Within one day of taking the Prednisone and using the spray I was on the mend.   I no longer felt anxious going into the holiday weekend.   Two dentists and an ENT couldn’t figure it out. Timothy White did.  I don’t often answer surveys and I am fairly critical in general. But, though belated, I felt it necessary to detail my experience and give a little more than “a shout out”.  In my humble opinion PA White would make a great D.O.  My best, Elena Schwartz

Scheduling was easy check-in great Staff excellent Care excellent bedside manner wonderful and respectful. Yes I would recommend this provider

Very quick process and very friendly.

Went in feeling really sick and was seen and given meds in less than 20 minutes. No waiting  it was a wonderful experience and the staff and Dr. were very attentive and caring. Will definitely be going back.

On my way home from a family affair. I still feel sick so I decided to stop in before I went home. and I stopped in at the right place.  The establishment  was immaculate and the staff was  helpful and empathetic. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and kind.

Everything was very well organized and professional. Courteous and polite. Keeping you informed of what is happening.

I was greeted by two lovely ladies as soon as I walked in, very pleasant and only waited ten minutes to be seen. P.A. Patel was kind, thoughtful, and caring. I feel better already after his treatment plan!

I walked in and the place was spotless Well tended and defined roles and responsibilities of each of the staff They were detailed and helpful in every step of my visit in the care and process of even my prescriptions Highly recommend

Great all around pediatric care! Easy booking, short wait time, friendly check-in assistance and nice and knowledgeable provider helped my little guy with his flu diagnosis. Thank you!

An excellent visit, but what impressed me the most was the professionalism of medical staff. The blood test was done accurately with very little pain. Last time I had a blood test (another place), they couldn't find a vein (and blamed me), then they jabbed me many times. I had big bruises and pain for months. What a difference going somewhere they know what they're doing

Thank you for agreeing to monitor my hand infection while its being drained till it heals. She did a wonderful job packing the incision for me. She knew exactly what to do. Thank you again. I will see you weekly until it is cleared and healed.

Had stubbed toe. Max the radiologist was friendly and informative and the doctor was terrific!

My first time in this facility and the staff was very welcoming. The NP was incredibly caring and helpful.

Excellent experience. Staff, cleanliness, explanation of tests and treatment.

On a Holiday the staff greeted me with a smile. The nurse and the dr. Gave me excellent care. Beautiful facility! Many Thanks.

I walked in without an appointment with cold and sinus symptoms. I was seen, treated and on my way all within 20 minutes, which is fabulous when you are not feeling well. I highly recommend Carbon Health.
