Said head/eye injury
Kristen B.

First things first - If you have Tricare, I would avoid this urgent care. They do not know how to properly bill for Tricare select or Tricare prime and you will always end up paying over your co pay. I've showed the office multiple times where it states $26 on tricare.mil under plan costs for Tricare Select Group B. They state that it doesn't populate that way for them and that tricare in fact gives them $52 co pays for select at times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The front office person was extort rude and not understanding what I was trying to relay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They tried to refuse me care for a $2 balance after I've been back and forth with their billing as they are incorrect and have been multiple times for both me and my children. I have a head injury and was almost turned away for $2 that wasn't even owed on my end!!! Ridiculous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She kept saying she'd have to try to contact her manager and see if he was available but with it being the holiday, he probably wouldn't be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I ended up saying "You know what? F it. I'll pay however much today and contact your billing and also Tricare tomorrow because I just really need someone to look at my head".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was bawling my eyes out and the front desk lady couldn't have cared less.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Second thing I think is worth mentioning is that my 5 year old daughter was seen for an infection and we told them point blank that she was allergic to penicillin and that she'd had multiple bad reactions to it in the past. They prescribed it to her anyways after assuring us that they wouldn't. When they followed up with a phone call they started "oh well, at least you know she's not anaphylactic to it anymore" . I was LIVID!! After that my daughter never went back. I only went today because it is a holiday and it was the only place without an extremely long wait time. I, however, learned my lesson and my family and I won't be back!

Happy patient

Had a huge cyst on my back that needed to be removed. Called 8-2-8 Urgent Care... they said come over right now... I went went straight to the back and Dr Hammer and his assistant Marilee fixed me up in like 10 minutes. Blown away by how quick the whole process was. Dr. Hammer is this super nice guy who makes you feel totally at ease. I was very comfortable through the whole procedure. And Marilee was super funny. The kind of person that makes you feel comfortable immediately. Honestly, if you need urgent care, this place rocks. Big shoutout to Dr. Hammer and Marilee for making an annoying procedure not-so-annoying :)

I have been to 8-2-8 Urgent care 4 times to be seen for migraines and lower back pain. My recent visit I was helped by Miss Jessica, Ms. Marilee, Ms Madison and Ms Lovepreet. I hope this place never moves because it is so helpful to have an urgent care close by that will notify you when u can come in and be seen. There's no waiting for hours if you call ahead and pre register. The staff is always amazing and extremely helpful with their care and treatment plan. A huge thank you to the lovely staff that always gets me feeling better.

All rooms are impeccable!

I want to know usually how much do I need pay if I do the physical examination . And will my insurance company(ISO insurance)will cover it?

My insurance company covers it, I have an HMO. It should be just your regular doctor's visit co pay, my visits to 8 to 8 have been.

Howling is the wait

You can check Google Maps to see if they're busy or not.

I had a medical issue that required immediate attention…read more Called the doctors office that was a joke. No appointments available for three weeks. , My insurance company and asked if Urgent Care was an option I was told Yes, and the agent actually helped look for and locate a facility that accepted my Insurance Insurance The agent even gave me the address and told me they were open until a specific time They got in the car and drove straight there Pulled into the parking lot and I was shocked. This is an urgent care in the parking lot and we have two cars in it I walked in at the receptionist who was extremely friendly and hopeful Share me complete the necessary paperwork they did the necessary verification for Insurance Insurance, and in less than 20 minutes I was seen by a doctor 10 minutes later, I was on my way to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions All I can say, as I was shocked and in a good way I thought Urgent Care would be packed kind of like a zoo and would take forever kinda like when you go to Tri City Hospital Not the case again, both the receptionist and the doctor were extremely friendly and helpful Unbelievable, less than 40 minutes walking in and out. I am extremely happy and I would recommend this facility to everyone They get an A in my book.

That alone made me feel cared for. I especially want to thank the nurse who received me this morning. I don't remember her name, but I will never forget her kindness. With her sense of humor and warmth, she eased my anxiety within minutes. In such a vulnerable moment, that kind of humanity makes all the difference. The medical team was professional, organized, and confident. Even in a highly technical environment filled with equipment, everything felt coordinated and reassuring. I felt safe the entire time. My procedure turned out better than expected, and I went home feeling peaceful and deeply grateful at 10:30 am Thank you for not only doing your job, but for doing it with empathy and heart. That is something that truly impacts patients and stays with them long after they leave I'm so grateful, thanks again all personal is amazing

During my visit, I experienced excessive wait times, poor communication, lack of follow-up, staff behavior. What was most concerning was lack of communication. I understand that hospitals can be busy and that healthcare professionals work under significant pressure. However, patients and families deserve clear communication, respect, and timely care. In my case, I had to wait 3 days for an MRI after that their wasn't a care plan to follow up. I had to advocate for myself for proper treatment. I am sharing this feedback not simply to complain, but in the hope that management will review these concerns and take steps to improve the patient experience. I would appreciate having someone from leadership contact me to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your attention.

She is so sweet and kind. The nurse that helped me before the doctor came in, I believe her name was Daisy (I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not) was EXCELLENT! She made me feel so comfortable and safe. I've had bad experiences at doctor's offices from a child to adult, so my fear of them causes me to have major anxiety before any appointment. But after speaking with not only Daisy & Dr Chang, but the front desk women too, I felt so at ease! Since I was a new patient I did have to call prior to get set up, which was a quick and easy process with whomever the man was that helped me. The inside of the building is big & extremely clean with plenty of seating. I would recommend this office to anyone, & definitely recommend Dr Nancy Chang & her staff!
