What is a Rapid Ferritin Test?
The Rapid Ferritin test is a test that takes only 15 minutes and involves a drop of blood from a finger prick, and we analyse this straight away. You can then identify your ferritin levels, an important part of determining whether you have an iron deficiency. Your results will be reviewed by one of our Doctors expert in treating iron deficiency, and they will determine if you would benefit from IV iron supplementation.
One of the solutions to an iron deficiency is an IV iron infusion. We can only offer this to our patients if a low iron level is demonstrated by a blood test. If you have a recent relevant blood test or a referral from another Doctor then we will not need to take another one.
Understanding Iron Deficiency?
I called this Tuesday, after the Bank Holiday, full of questions on how to navigate the process and get some iron for a severe deficiency. They were excellent.
Allie patiently explained the process and managed to fit me in just a few hours later.
Dr Klapan was welcoming, thorough in her health checks, and reassuring. It was a very calming space for an infusion, and I felt very comfortable there. Dr Klapan administered the infusion and was sure to check on patients regularly throughout. She created a very calming environment.
The clinic itself is also very comfortable. I'd recommend, whilst we all try to avoid going to clinics... I'll definitely be returning!
Thanks again.
Best way to get to the Soho clinic at Tottenham Court Road will be via public transport as trying to find a parking space is a bit difficult to locate.
The staff were very good, caring and compassionate, the Doctor and nurses are very knowledgeable.
The best thing about this clinic is that the prices are not hidden and you can discuss other issues, which they are happy to discuss with you and they spend the time with you to explain everything.
Plenty of places to eat as well if you are there for sometime.
Overall very happy and satisfied with the service and health care provided.
