Looking for a Civil Surgeon recommendation in Austin, TX

[reddy531]

Promed quoted $70 per person for chest x-ray. However I didnt need one and neither did my wife. I went for TB test reading today and I am very convinced that mine would be positive since I have a big bite with almost a CM length.

It took over 3 hours to see the nurse and it was horrible. This is the absolute worst thing with Promed on 183, hopefully its better at their Lmar location. However the nurse was good she measured mine and said 4 mm. i suspect she just wanted to pass me and get it over with. My wifes was only 1 mm so she is ok.

Anyhow we have the sealed cover now, and the best part is i can scratch however I want on that tb test area. I was holding off on that till the test is over.

TB skin test at ProMed is $12.

one dose was enough for I-693
However your PCP may suggest you to comeback for second dose - for the vaccination to be effective.

Hello there,

Can anyone provide details on what all are included in the physicals? I am planning to go to Promed too. But I have heard numerous stories about the physicals. I heard females have to change into a robe for the physicals. Is that true? Any details are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
