Coming back to post again, based on previous review's promise to report on after-care subsequent to my PCR testing for Covid appointment here.
Simon, the PA at this location who spoke with me after Anise, the RN, took vitals and administered the PCR test, had said when he called me with my results that evening, that given my intersecting medical issues - I'm an old, plus I'm dealing with Stage IV cancer recurrence - he was referring me for monoclonal antibody clinical trial. That was a huge win, since I did get enrolled in the trial, and received treatment for Covid, with continuing follow-up for the next year-plus.
I'm a health/medicine/science journalist and policy wonk professionally, so observing this experience with my patient-person and professional-wonk-journo lenses gives a lot more context to this review than you'd get from the average-human patient.
I've read through the less-than-four-star reviews for this site, and have to say that most of the negatives arise from the way our health system works, not so much from how this individual urgent care is operated.
That said, I'll just close with the following:
+ I'd send myself back to this urgent care any time, based on this experience
+ I recommend it to anyone in the geo-zone for this BetterMed location
+ Their EHR tech isn't the Big Kahuna (EPIC Systems), but the Athena EHR they use has a workable portal (too back Athena ain't got a mobile app, but that's not BetterMed's problem to fix)
+ Get vaxxed/boosted (if you're not already)
+ Stay masked up outside your home
