I have been going to this urgent care centre on and off for seven years…read more It's a safe and well run place. They know what they're doing. It takes less time than an emergency room, and even if you're paying out of pocket and have additional questions about something completely unrelated to the reason you randomly walk in for, each doctor respectfully takes the time to answer the question and if they can't they are quick to provide an appropriate referral. I always get there just before closing bc of work and I've never been met with anything but kindness... These guys are great and I think that collectively they could run a hospital. It's a really good place.

Today I received a text that I had "scheduled" a payment for $421 that was going to post to my debit card in 6 days. When I called their office they claimed my insurance is refusing to cover the urine culture and claimed that when I signed the paperwork at the time of the visit I "authorized" them to charge my card for whatever they want. I don't recall signing any such paperwork beyond authorizing the initial copay. I was able to cancel this charge but it feels sneaky that this was not disclosed to me at the time of my visit- I would have waited and seen my GP who doesn't gouge me for lab work and doesn't have sneaky billing practices. I regret going here and I don't want others to make the same mistake. Furthermore I called my insurance today and was informed that they ran a bunch of unnecessary tests which ran up my bill. I knew exactly what was wrong because it's a chronic issue, and only needed a standard urine culture. Why as $800 worth of tests run without my consent for a standard UTI visit? I've been in this situation countless times before and was never taken advantage of financially this way by an Urgent Care before.

It was our first time coming here and I was surprised that there was no wait. I figured since everyone was getting the flu (and this location was pretty much in the Loop), there would've been a wait but, no, it was empty, which was awesome! Maybe we just got lucky. Anyways, Sarah B, NP, helped us as soon as I registered my kids. She was awesome with them. I liked her very much. Nowadays, finding doctors that are good with kids are seldom. Even our pediatric office wasn't always "kid friendly". Sarah was very friendly and she made my kids happy while being seen. She, then, was very detailed with us. I would definitely recommend this clinic with Sarah. I would also go back again if any one of us needed to be seen. Thanks Dr Sarah!

I wouldn't consider this "urgent" I had to schedule an appointment for a follow up which is very strange. I don't get why they couldn't call. Would not recommend if you want to be in and out quickly. Very disrespectful of my time and money, to only recommend I see a dermatologist. A phone call takes 30 seconds also.

Shout-out and…read morethanks to Kene, Clayton & Lisa for seeing my wife and I late on a Friday evening, most certainly the last patients after what could only have already been a long day in this flu season. They waited till our flu results were known and then advised us how to proceed. Lisa was polite and helpful on the phone. Clayton went out of his way to answer our questions, provide medical guidance for flu-like symptoms, and even brought us a bottle of water while we waited for the test results. I can't speak to any of the my fellow Yelpers' review but based upon my experience, I'm glad I went and recommend them highly. I first started going to them for Covid tests during the pandemic and then for general medical guidance post-pandemic. The waiting room was clean, well lit, and nicely furnished. Thank you for reading, Patrick PS: oh, one female medical attendant took my vitals before Clayton but I neglected to ask her name. She too was lovely! (1/09 update: her name is Kene, thanks Kene!)

I went to this Northwestern Immediate Care location in Chicago strictly for routine blood work as…read morepart of my annual exam. This visit was only for a blood draw. There was no consultation, no exam, and I did not see or speak with any doctor at that location. Despite this, a "doctor's visit" was billed at nearly $700. After insurance, I was still charged $321 out of pocket for a visit that never happened. I had to call several times and got only impolite responses saying that the bill was correct, although I was charged for a visit which never happened. Fortunately my primary care doctor, who is based at a different Northwestern location, helped escalate the issue, and their office manager was able to get the charge corrected. I appreciate their help in resolving it. However, the incorrect charge originated from the Immediate Care location itself, which is very concerning. Patients should not be billed for services they did not receive. Because of this experience, I would not return to this location and would not recommend it to others. This is not my first experience with Northwestern Medicine facilities charging for services I did not receive or billing twice for the same service. If it were not for my doctor-who is truly exceptional, takes time with patients, and provides outstanding care-I would avoid Northwestern altogether. Stay away and avoid problems.

WORST SERVICE!!! -AVOID THIS URGENT CARE,THEY JUST TRY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND ZERO CARE!…read moreAt the end of March I didn't felt good ,So since this place it's near home I said to go here to check since I had a pain in my chest and my left arm was a bit numb. From the moment I got there the reception lady took since forever to end with the questions ,put me to pay in advance 250$ since I'm an unemployed and no insurance...and God knows what I sign because it's not that they explain you , you have to read and figure it out by yourself,also if you're not feeling good. Once I finally got in ,the nurse took me the pressure, asked me question what happened, she really wasn't that nice tho had an attitude that wasn't nice at all . After they decide to make me an EKG which also there an experience because seems was the first time for her doing that and wasn't pleasant to wait in those shirts that they give you there because was very cold in that room . After that I asked to call my husband from outside because I don't feel comfortable alone up there . The nurse come back again and said I'll do an X-ray and I said definitely not because I'll not radiate myself for something that it's pointless to check the type of the pain that I have and she said she will call the doctor which I agreed. Took 30 min for Dr. Wong Claire to come and honestly it's not fun to wait in a cold room and also my husband start to be frustrated and he said if it was something urgent maybe she will have hurry up instead to chat all of them in a room nearby. Once she was there she agree that an x-ray was pointless in my case , start again to ask me the same question as the nurse which honestly I don't understand why ,since all was type in the computer. In the end she said they don't have blood test to help more , the EKG looks okay because in case was something wrong with my heart "you can see with until 10 min after". She asked me if I went to go to ER and I said I'll go home since I start to have also headache because I was cold and in case I still not feel ok I'll go there. Didn't got anything for the elevate pressure, or future cure or advise. I asked if I can have a copy of the situation there and she bring me that and said I'm good to go that's it and we left. Tng God I had home some pills for heart to relax and feel okay I talked with my family doctor on the phone and said was a panic attack and recommended me what to take . The following week seems that they call me but since it's unknown number I never answer and got a letter to give them a call back " to speak about my test results " ironic cuz they didn't seems to care much when I was there and in need so very unprofessional. After 2 months I start to received letters that I owe them money ... I called the place he reception lady she said she can't explain ( maybe type my name and try to read what's inside of the computer?!? ... just saying ) . I called also the financial counseling number and explain what happened not even them know what to said . So basically apart that looks from the papers I paid less , I also owe money for nothing basically so for me this place it's a big scam where they take advantage of the people that don't feel well and try to make them pay money and not do anything!!! I feel harassed with emails and letters but nobody it's in the position to explain for what I owe money. Wish I was reading the reviews before if I could have had the chance to definitely avoid this place!!!

Also, I'm sorry but what's an urgent care without basic X-rays? When I mentioned it to the front desk person that they really should disclose that on the website she just kept reiterating that "it says to call for services"... I said I feel like just posting this on the website seems like an easy solution. I even requested she relay my feedback to the appropriate team, but she said they already knew and she can't relay it because they'd "get mad at her." I DEFINITELY got the feeling that they wanted our $$ to come there. We even said, ummmm it's an injury that will probably require an xray, shouldn't we go to a different one? She said "no we can write a referral if you need one" ... but also so could the other urgent care. We had already trekked over there so whatever.... But sure enough first thing the NP says, "you need an xray"... mind you, we waited so long we should've gone straight to a different urgent care that does have xray because it would've been faster. Which should've been an hour process ended up chewing up the whole day. Also in the examination room the floor was filthy, rolls on the floor, hair on the floor, pen, a big even landed on my arm, the counters were nasty, I refused to even set my purse down on it. It looked like it hadn't even be properly swept in a week. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. The NP couldn't even properly replace the splint ... she tried shoving it on while it was still closed, then half way opened it and put it on and it was hanging half way off...
