Went to urgent care on Friday June 28th as I could not get in to see my Dr. same day.Tests were run and I received a follow up call on Monday morning stating I needed my Dr’s care. I had been to see my Dr on Monday so I was not worried as he had his own testing.I recieved another follow up call on July 4th from urgent care stating I needed to go ER immediately. I called my Dr and he confirmed, but he had not followed up with me or communicated this. If it was not for urgent care due diligence in follow-up - I may have lost my liver and or life.I am so grateful for the follow up care.

Good people, knowledgeable and friendly. They were professional. And I was in and out in a very reasonable amount of time I've been there before many times and I'd return there again I definitely would say if you're in that area or if you need a care that can be taken care of their they're definitely worth the shopping and it's still going to an emergency room unless you are where you need to be.

I came in as a walk-in and did not set up an appointment via the internet. I was treated with kindness and respect. There was an emergent situation with a very small child who needed to be seen so I did have to wait a little extra so the child could be seen. Emily was wonderful in her examination of me and I received the medication needed. She thanked me for my patience and understanding due to the emergent situation that occurred. I really appreciated that acknowledgement. The receptionist was also very friendly and helpful and patient with my questions. I would recommend this provider! Thank you for all you do.

Not sure why appointments are accepted? I had an appointment at 5:40 and was seen at 7:30pm. There were not many other people in the waiting room and some even left because they got tired of waiting. Everything else was fine but not sure I will return because the wait seemed excessive and there wasn’t any communication to me regarding expectations on wait. I had to eventually ask if I had been forgotten.

Scheduling was easy. This was for my 19 yr old grandson and Back office was great, he said. Front office staff could possibly explain a little better. I get dealing with people is tough. What’s with waiting in your car or standing and chairs roped off? That’s not cool when it’s 100 degrees outside.

I knew coming to your clinic that I had a sinus infection. I could not get a doctor appointment that’s why I came to your urgent care . The nurse practitioner would not give me an antibiotic and this was obvious that being 60 years old this was not my first sinus infection or first time I took an antibiotic. So I left and went to the ER got treated and they prescribed me antibiotics and I’m healing. So I paid you for nothing!!

About Phoenix Pap Smears

A Pap smear is a commonly-used medical test that screens for cervical cancer in women.Knowing more about Pap smears and where to find one can help you prevent or detect cervical cancer early on so you can receive treatment.

Pap smear overview

A Pap smear is a cervical cancer screening test for women. According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), this test involves collecting a sample of cells from the cervix and checking them for signs of cancer. Women with precancerous cells on their cervix can work with their doctors to prevent or treat cervical cancer. A Pap smear is also known as a Papanicolaou test or Pap smear test, adds the NLM.

Pap smear (Pap test): What to expect

The purpose of a Pap smear is to look for the presence of cervical cancer and precancerous cells in the cervix. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) reports that precancers in the cervix are usually caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Pap tests are generally recommended for women between the ages of 21 and 65 years, adds the DHHS. Women should get a Pap smear every three to five years based on their age or as often as recommended by their healthcare providers.

A Pap test usually takes place during a pelvic exam or well-woman exam at your doctor’s office. According to the University of Utah, your doctor will usually ask you to remove your clothing from the waist down, lie on an exam table, and place your feet in stirrups. Then, your doctor will use a long cotton swab to collect a sample of cells from your cervix. Your cell sample will be sent to the lab where it is analyzed for signs of precancers and cervical cancer, noted the University of Utah.

Who needs a Pap smear?

The DHHS recommends a Pap smear for most women between the ages of 21 and 65 years. It suggests that women should still have regular Pap tests even if they are not sexually active, have had the HPV vaccine, or have already gone through menopause.

How often do you need a Pap smear?

If you are between the ages of 21 and 29, the DHHS recommends getting a Pap smear test once every three years. If you are between the ages of 30 and 65, you should have either a Pap smear once every three years or a Pap and HPV co-test once every five years, notes the DHHS.

The DHHS also recommends having a Pap test if you are older than 65 and have never been tested, or if you have not been tested since you turned 60.

How to prepare for a Pap smear

The NLM recommends against using tampons, having sex, douching, and using vagin*l creams or birth control foams two to three days before your Pap smear. It also recommends scheduling a Pap smear on a day that you are not having your period. Aside from taking these steps, no other preparation is needed for a Pap smear, according the the NLM.

What happens during a Pap smear?

First, your doctor will ask you to remove your clothing from the waist down and lie on an exam table. Then, according to the University of Utah, your doctor will open the walls of your vagin* using an instrument called a speculum, which provides your doctor with a clear view of your cervix.

Your doctor will then insert a long swab into your vagin* and gently swipe it against your cervix to collect a sample of cells. Your cell sample will be sent to a lab where it is observed and analyzed for the presence of precancerous cells and cervical cancer, states the University of Utah.

The NLM says a Pap smear causes little to no discomfort for most women, though some women may feel some pressure and mild discomfort that feels similar to menstrual cramps. It adds that some women may also experience some spotting or bleeding afterward, which is completely normal.

What do the results of a Pap smear mean?

Pap smear results can come back normal or abnormal. Notes the NLMl. Your doctor will contact you to discuss your results after they are ready.

Normal Pap smear

A normal Pap result means that the cells in your cervix were found to be normal and that no signs of precancers or cervical cancer were found, notes the NLM. Your doctor will usually recommend coming back in three to five years for another routine checkup.

Abnormal Pap smear

An abnormal Pap result means there were abnormalities detected in your cervical cell sample, reports the NLM. This does not necessarily mean you have cervical cancer. The NLM adds that your doctor may recommend follow-up testing or treatments that can prevent your cell abnormalities from developing into cancer.

How accurate are the results?

The NLM states that the Pap test is not 100% accurate, and that cervical cancer may be missed in a small number of cases. It also recommends making sure you avoid having this test while on your period, as blood can make results less accurate.

Does a Pap smear test for HPV?

According to DHHS, a Pap smear test does not check for the presence of HPV. However, it does check for the presence of abnormal cervical cells, which may be caused by HPV. The DHHS recommends having a routine HPV test if you are aged 30 years or older.

Pap Smear FAQs

  • How do I prepare for a Pap smear in Phoenix?

    A Pap smear test requires very little preparation, according to the NLM. The NLM says that the best way to prepare for your Pap test is to refrain from using tampons, douche products, vagin*l creams, and birth control foams two to three days before your test. It also recommends not having sex during this time, and rescheduling your appointment for another day if you are on your period.

  • Does a Pap smear test for HPV?

    According to the NLM, a Pap smear does not test for HPV. However, you can combine your Pap smear with an HPV test, and have this co-test done every five years. Consult with your doctor regarding when you should have an HPV test based on your age and screening history.

  • When should I get a Pap smear?

    According to DHHS, you should have a Pap smear every three years after you turn 21 or once every five years after you turn 30 and want to combine your Pap smear with an HPV test.
