Pediatric and Adolescent Urgent Care of WNY, Orchard Park - 3055 Southwestern Blvd, Orchard Park
The wait time was increased presumably due to it being sickness season, so no issues. Wait was worthwhile as my child’s primary doctor does not have the same availability to see them on such short notice. I appreciate your entire team, and you have helped my kiddo get better several times, You always make us feel welcome no matter how many times we’ve been in and you always equip me with the resources and knowledge to help my baby get better quicker so I Thank You.

After receiving my results, I called Quest Lab Testing and discussed the results with a consultation. This consultation filled in my knowledge gaps and made me more aware of my particular situation.

I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

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 came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Quest Lab Testing for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Short Wait Time

I have been bringing my 7 year old here since she was born and the experience was so good that I began taking my 1 year old here too. They are so professional and polite from the doctors to the NPs, nurses, and medical assistants. I am pregnant again and I fully plan on bringing my newest baby here. You won’t be disappointed and if you are just respectfully let them know they will work it out with you because that’s how professional they are.

So thank GOD they were open Sunday evening during the Bills game as I had to get 9 stiches and they were all awesome. From the front desk staff to the nurse to the PA who again thank god was there to stich me up so I did not have to go sit in a nightmare hospital emergency room as I would probably would still be there or have bled to death. Bottom line is I was in and out in 40 minutes and was able to finish watching the agony of defeat at home with a cold beer and finish my pizza- just watch out for the rocker pizza blade cutters- they are sharp as hell !!

Getting Tested for STDs in Buffalo, NY

Who should get tested for STDs?

Everyone who is sexually active should consider getting tested for STDs. This includes those who have multiple sexual partners, those who have had unprotected sex, and those who have noticed symptoms such as unusual discharge, itching, or discomfort. It's also important for those who are entering a new sexual relationship to get tested to ensure they are not unknowingly carrying an STD. According to the CDC, regular STD testing is a crucial part of maintaining overall health and preventing the spread of these diseases.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is vital for several reasons. Firstly, many STDs do not show symptoms, so you may be unaware that you are infected. Untreated STDs can lead to serious health complications, including infertility, cancer, and increased susceptibility to HIV. Regular testing allows for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of these complications. Furthermore, knowing your STD status can help prevent the spread of these diseases to your sexual partners.

Prevalence of STDs in Buffalo

Buffalo, which is in Erie County, NY, has seen a significant increase in STD cases over the past few years. According to the CDC, Erie County's STD rates are higher than those in nearby counties such as Lewis County, Indiana County, and Lycoming County. This increase could be due to a variety of factors, including increased testing, lack of public awareness about STDs, and socio-economic factors.

Risk factors related to STDs in Buffalo

Several risk factors contribute to the high prevalence of STDs in Buffalo. These include high rates of poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and low rates of condom use. Additionally, the city's large young adult population may also contribute to the high STD rates, as this group is often more sexually active and less likely to get regular STD testing. It's important to note that anyone who is sexually active can get an STD, regardless of their socio-economic status or age. Therefore, regular testing is crucial for everyone.
