    I recently visited the Forsyth location on Wednesday morning, March 8,2023. Was exposed directly to…read moresomeone at work with Covid and had many Covid symptoms, including; fever, all over body aches, terrible headache, nausea, chills. Was seen by one of the PA's and he did my Covid test and also did a flu test. He came back in and said it was negative and I was completely dumbfounded. He told me it could just be a false negative and to wait a day or two and either I could come back there for another test or I could get a home test and do it myself but to make sure to wait a day or two before doing it. Why so adamant about that. Now I feel suspicious. So I left and immediately went and bought 2 home tests. Went home and took one and it was a positive result practically instantly. Waited until Friday morning and took the second one and it too was positive pretty much immediately. I'm not sure who is actually doing the test behind the scenes but if I got 2 positive results, one being done right after leaving there, I have to be concerned and suspicious if they are doing things correctly. I would have to say, apparently not, which strikes me as concerning because this poses risks to the public if they aren't doing things correctly, for whatever reason. I do know they can get false negatives and had I not done a home test within 2 hours of leaving there I might have believed it was a true false negative but that's not what happened. I did call the number listed as the corporate number even though it's not really a corporate office, just another location and I spoke to a lady who also sounded very surprised when I told her I went home and did a home test right after leaving there and got a blaringly obvious positive result. Then another lady called me later and she explained the false negative scenario also and I proceeded to explain to her about the home test. She said she would make sure it was not billed and/or removed from the charges filed to insurance but honestly, it's more than just a charge in my opinion. If I had gone by the result he gave me, I could have assumed it was negative and then I would have put a LOT of other people at risk. I have been to this location approximately 2 or 3 other times prior to this but after this experience I will not be returning again. K.S.

    I am a registered nurse and while visiting family and traveling I got an infection. The staff at…read morethis urgent care were awesome and extremely fast. They listened to my concerns and got me on the proper medication.

    This gentleman is a general surgeon in a very small town about one hour south of Champaign Urbana…read more I was on my way down to Granite City, IL by way of Salem, IL, first, when, awakening one day about 15 years ago, I noticed a large palpable lesion proximal to my left ear. Experiencing no pain whatsoever I thought I should see a physician and knew enough to avoid the primary care providers in a town like this. I went to the area hospital, found the best looking nurse I could and asked her to recommend the best general surgeon in the community, and that she did. I saw Doctor Boyajian later that day and was scheduled, the following day, to have the lesion I&d'd. All went well, though I did have a staph infection likely the result of being beaned by a fastball around that location 7 years earlier in high school. All in all I believe that this amazingly competent and caring gentleman did much to save my life. The only annoyance regarding the entire experience involved a mousy office manager,I believe this individual was, through whom I was forced to suffer post surgically on follow up a day or two later, who seemingly had nothing better to do with her time besides gossiping from the minute I arrived to the second the nurse called me back. I'm quite certain my next procedure, an infected pilonidal cyst treated at a VA hospital in San Diego, would have been better tolerated, sans anesthesia, than having to listen to this motor mouth for even two additional minutes. Notwithstanding this gnat like annoyance, the experience with this exemplary physician, and his entire professional staff, could not have been better. The town in which he practices is blessed to have such an incredible doctor at its beck and call.
