This oocation can be definitely busy, but it is a good resource to the community. Many families bring their kids here for sports related injuries. there was a wait as a walk on and i believe it's because they allow appointments. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Which I think is great during the week if you can schedule in, however, not during the weekend, it should be walk-in only with a few doctors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That said, the waiting room was really nice and equipped, and offered a lot of comfort. In my particular case they had everything I needed to give me immediate answers for questions as in test and x-rays, etc. etc. they were able to administer medicine that made an immediate effect and prescribed medication's. That allowed me continue healing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their staff is good and so apologetic for the wait times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Leaving two stars, although I'd like to put zero, because [[HIGHLIGHT]]the nursing staff make up for the poor bedside manners of Dr. Michael Pham.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He kept laughing while I was telling him my concerns and tried to get up multiple times during our FIVE MINUTE interaction to leave while I was asking him questions. I'm a private pay client and paid $215 for 5 min. of minimizing and gaslighting. I'm appalled. On a different note, [[HIGHLIGHT]]thank you once again for the nurses working there. They somewhat made up for the absolute waste of money and time today.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

So here we are, Exer. Our annual visit for urgently needed medication from the summer heat. Their online process continues (see my prior review). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you're done with online registration on your own smartphone, an email is generated with an estimated time for your appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a Saturday at 4pm and although there were only 2 families in the waiting area, and I was assured there were 2 people ahead of me, it took an hour and a half of wait. I did notice that their website offers appointments now and a bunch of services including physicals, workers comp injury, STD / COVID / TB Skin Testing, etc. Seems like an expanded list offered to get more customers while having only 1-2 physicians or NP's onsite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff at reception area and the intake nurse were super nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But once we got to the room, it was another 30 minutes of wait. When the APP did come, it was less than a 5-minute interaction. I informed the APP that we waited 2 hours, and the response was there is only one provider. No wonder the wait was horrible. Exer, please staff-up. I gave a rating of two because of the staff was kind, the place is clean, and it is in a good location. Parking is free and there is a nice seating area outside. If you're not in pain, you can go to Whole Foods and maybe get your grocery done during the wait, lol. However, I don't think they want you to be far away after registration - since the policy is usually for the patient to wait, but heaven forbid they have to wait 10 minutes for you...well, you might lose your spot. This is crazy, America. This is not "urgent" care. It is "wait for 2-3 hours" care. Good luck to us all. We need a better health care system. read more

Exer Urgent Care - Porter Ranch - Exer "Wait for 2-3 hours" (Non-urgent) Care - Urgent Care Near Me - Northridge, California

Pure idiocy. I went by because of an injured foot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The receptionist said we CANNOT leave and MUST wait in the lobby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were told we couldn't even wait outside front of the door (all glass front, btw). So I'm supposed to expose myself and my family to people who are sick for over an hour while we wait to be seen? For what reason? I'm truly baffled on the reason. This facility USED TO allow you to wait outside. Heck, they used to let you leave the general area because they had a text message system that would text as your spot in line changed. Fortunately there are other urgent care facilities in the area. read more

I made a 12PM appointment for an EKG. No one was at the front desk. Employees would walk by and nothing. They didn't bother to come up and ask what I'm here for or if I need any help. So if you're really sick, I suggest you go elsewhere because you won't get urgent care at this urgent care (ironic). Also, there's only one doctor on call, and they will take an hour lunch break around noon. DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AROUND NOON to 1PM. It's available online but DO NOT book a time slot between those times. I walked in at 11:40AM as you're told to arrive earlier and they will not take anyone in half an hour before noon and until about 12:45-1PM. Do not bother to even walk in during this time either. You will be told to wait whether you have an appointment or not. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Do not go here unless you have the time and are willing to wait an hour to be seen after your appointment time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nurse was great and doctor was great. Front desk needs to do a better job at not scheduling appointments while the doctor on that day is on his lunch break. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had I had the time to wait today this would have been less of an issue, but there was no communication until I asked after already waiting for 35 minutes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The answer was "sorry the doctor is on his lunch break".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I totally get that, but don't schedule appointments during that time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to multiple exer urgent care centers in Los Angeles and this one is by far the worst[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Why do they even offer appointments ? Here I am 1.5 hours after my appointment still waiting in the lobby . I get walk ins having to wait , but I have an appointment . I probably would've been better off going to the ER . Never again ! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Only had great experiences here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would like to thanks Taylor in the front desk for being very understanding and patient with us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Taylor also showed genuine concern about my son's well being.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Never been to a worse urgent care.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff can care less about you and how you're feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone is miserable and be prepared for a 4 hr wait to get a swab with incorrect information. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]2 patients seen in 2 hours. Waited hours just to be passed by "scheduled appointments" at an URGENT CARE. Don't come here if you actually have something urgent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Update: Took over 4 hours, being passed in line several more times while the people at the front desk hid in the back to avoid all the unhappy people in the lobby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the while taking their DoorDash orders in front of us trapped in a room with the AC set at 50°.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I brought my 12 year old yesterday because of a suspected foot fracture after she stubbed her toe. After waiting 3 hours to be seen (there were 5 people in the online queue when I registered), the NP told us she was fine, no fracture, and sent us home. All yesterday my 12 year old complained she could not walk and was in tears, and based on the medical advice we got I told her to walk it off. This morning I got a voicemail from the doctor saying the xray report came back and there is a fracture. I called back and now there is no answer. I cannot believe the medical incompetence. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The NP did not say, go home, wait for the radiology report and we will call. She said there was no issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My prior experiences were not great but was never this bad. I will never go there again. read more

Dr Pham was fantastic. My wife clarified what our expectations were and he got to the point did all the tests, prescriptions issued and we were on our way. The funny thing was the picture of my stupid doctor was on the board as an advertising. Just smiling and staring at me. We share our frustration with my doctor as how bad he is treating his patients. I guess that's a good advertisement for them since he turns a lot business to them by refusing to talk and help his patients. Overall it was a good experience and if your doctor turns out to be like mine, then you should definitely consider this place. By the way the place was very clean plenty of parking and everyone was very nice. read more

I came here to get my stitches removed after 8 days, which I was told by the doctor who put them in was completely fine after 7. I informed the front desk and the medical assistant, and they had me wait 3.5 hours just to get four stitches removed. After all that waiting, the doctor comes in and tells me I need to wait 10 days and I could not get it removed today. I explained that my original doctor said it was fine after 7, and after some back and forth, he finally agreed to remove them -- but the whole situation was frustrating and unnecessarily drawn out. To make things worse, I was told after the 3 1/2 hour wait that i can get a refund and come back in 3 days to get the stiches removed! if that was the case why not tell me before the 3 1/2 hour wait! And then, the cherry on top: I accidentally left my blue water bottle in the room and went back to ask for it. I told them exactly where I left it -- right next to the bed I was sitting on -- and they barely even looked before telling me they didn't have it. I kept telling them it was there, and they wouldn't even let me check the room myself. It wasn't until my boyfriend went there later in the day and pushed them to look again that they finally "found" it in the exact spot I described. This entire experience was disorganized, dismissive, and emotionally exhausting. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for competent, respectful care. read more

Exer Urgent Care - Porter Ranch - Urgent Care Near Me - Northridge, California

Absolutely incompetent. Unfortunately, I've had to come here a few times for urgent issues, and each visit has been worse than the last. On one occasion, a nurse misread my chart, completely misdiagnosed the situation, and prescribed extremely strong antibiotics that I never should have been given- even the pharmacist commented on it showing concern for what was prescribed. On another visit, they miss-treated a bacterial infection with the wrong antibiotic, and before even confirming whether an infection was present, they tried to prescribe me yet another antibiotic which thankfully I refused-- which turned out to be unnecessary since no infection was there at all (two different instances) Because of these repeated mistakes, I had to consult with a physician at UCLA, who properly diagnosed and treated what this clinic failed to address, and said to me "never go there again "The level of care and lack of competence here is alarming, even in urgent situations. I would strongly advise avoiding this place. read more

Super slow service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff are okay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came in at 8 am got out at 10.30 am. Clinic is very clean. Good location. read more

What a great resource to have in the neighborhood. I went in for a laceration to my finger; I new it would need stitches. The clinic is spotless, the staff is super friendly and efficient. They took me in immediately. My PA, Jemmilyn, very professional, cleaned my wound, got me an Xray and stitched me up. They even updated my Tetanus shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was great experience. It made me forget how pissed I was I cut my finger in the first place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would absolutely recommend this urgent care facility. read more

The girl greeting was as cold as ice. Im asking for receptionist /front desk clerk at this location and to anyone else in the health care industry to be thoughtful and a little compassionate with people coming in to get some care. Reasons why this review got 2 stars because I would give it 1 star. The neighborhood/shopping center is super nice with plenty of parking. There's a lot of stores such as whole food and Nordstrom Rack plus restaurants. We had to wait close to 3 hours so that was a huge plus to have to kill some time. Worst part is we don't live nearby and I had asked for the doctor to email a letter for my son to be able to go back to school. Well the doctor never did and it's also not in their portal so now I have to drive another 20-25 mins to pick up the note. read more

Exer Urgent Care - Porter Ranch - Outside - Urgent Care Near Me - Northridge, California

Lackluster. Staff moves at a snails pace. Not rude but just lackluster. Place looks very nice but service is just blah. They seem to always pace everything with zero hustle. Not impressed, will be looking for better options With at said, the doctor Pham was very nice and efficient. read more

To be honest, I'd leave if my back didn't hurt so bad that walking to the car would be a chore. I'm also over 100 minutes invested and I already paid my copay. So, here I am. The check in process is a bit clunky. There is no cellular service in the area, so you first have to connect to their WiFi via a QR Code. You then use another QR Code to get on their waiting list which then sends you a text message to link where you fill out the required forms. Their waiting list does have a nice option that sends you a text message when it's as little as 15 minutes until you're going to be seen, or so they would have you think. The idea is that you can leave and come back if you'd like which is a nice thought, but in practicality you could leave for over an hour, come back, and still wait. The system does work in that you do get a message for you to come back, but what is supposed to be 15 minutes, quickly evolves into 70+, and I still haven't been seen. I'll update this about the care once I get some... read more

I arrived and was 3rd in line. I waited 2 1/2 hours to find out if they could do nothing for me. Chairs were so uncomfortable for that entire time. People who arrived after me were brought back first. First hour was in the waiting room and the second half was in a solitary room. Was told to manage my symptoms, but didn't give me any suggestions. They did do a test and said they would call with the results. I missed the call and trying to get someone on the phone when I called back was impossible. The phone rang for 15 minutes. I tried to register for the portal to see the results but apparently you need a pin that they are supposed to give you which they did not and so you are supposed to call the clinic to get the pin. Again...no one picking up. read more

The nurse practitioner, Anahid, is extremely rude with a terrible bedside manner. That said, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ladies that checked me in and Yesenia, the medical assistant was kind, patient, and friendly from start to finish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came back a few months later, this place still sucks balls. They take their sweet jolly time to help you out, these chairs suck, and the people in here are weirdos. Not urgent or caring. Don't come here expecting to get out in 12 hours or less. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We waited there for 2 hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I get sometimes urgent cares are busy, but we were there for a good 30-45 minutes before they called anyone in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then it was a slow roll once they finally did.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought, maybe the doctor takes their time with patients. Then our turn finally came. When the doctor came in, she didn't even touch our kid, I don't think she was there for one full minute. We only went there because our normal urgent care was closed. Never again. read more

In here right now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Been here for like a solid hour and a half.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I haven't seen a single patient called in the last like 30 minutes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My head is on the brink of exploding. And I'm sitting on maybe the most uncomfortable chairs in the nation I've decided. Would give zero stars if it were possible, perhaps even negative one. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We came to this clinic with my little son for a visit and there were only two people in front of us and we have been waiting since 4:20 pm to 6:32 pm but it is not our turn yet[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and we asked and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they said you are the next one but they sent someone else in and when we followed up again they said they only have one provider[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], we had the worst experience, not very good treatment and we were really frustrated and tired!!

Exer Urgent Care - Porter Ranch - We are waiting..... more than 2 hours - Urgent Care Near Me - Northridge, California

I made an appointment for 4:00 PM, thinking that would actually mean something. It's now been over an hour and a half, and I'm STILL sitting here waiting to be seen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What's the point of making an appointment if you're going to ignore it completely?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place clearly doesn't understand the meaning of the word urgent. People are sick, uncomfortable, and waiting endlessly while staff move at a snail's pace and act like your time has no value. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's completely unacceptable and downright disrespectful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're considering coming here -- don't. You'll waste your time, your patience, and your sanity. Ever Urgent Care should rename itself "Never Urgent Care" because that's exactly what it is: slow, disorganized, and indifferent to the people they're supposed to be helping. Absolutely pathetic. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have so much gratitude for all the staff at the Exer, especially Dr. Pham, Andrew and Brenda who took care of me today.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I made a visit to the urgent care due to a deep cut on my hand that needed stitches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was pretty shaken up from the injury and accident, but when I got admitted, Brenda and Andrew made me feel comforted and gave me assurance that I was in good care.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] During the treatment, Dr. Pham made everything so easy, by the time I couldn't feel the pain, we were casually conversing and sharing laughters as my wound was being treated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once I arrived home, I was followed up with thoroughly documented Doctor's notes and a phone call.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was thus far the best urgent care experience I've had![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Horrible place! The front office girl, I believe her name is Faiza is really rude. Doctors in that location are inexperienced and condescending. You think you go to a nice location to get treated professionally but no it's not like that at all! It feels like you are in a hood the way they treat you . I do recommend northridge location. They are super nice and caring and really take care of you. I asked the director(Amal) to call me but she didn't care to call me but sure they charged my insurance hundreds of dollars. read more

From the front desk staff to the nurses to the doctors, everyone was five stars. We felt well looked after by Dr Pham and his staff throughout. We are so lucky to have such a great urgent care close to home. read more

Would not recommend this Urgent Care to anyone. Was told to go home and take Ibuprofen and follow-up for swap results in two days, which I did. Two days later they didn't have results and said to call back. As a result of concern (symptoms remained the same) went to ER that day and was admitted into the hospital for days. The expertise and quality of care is not here and you risk not getting proper diagnosis. There are better Urgent Care options in the area. Never again!!!! read more

I have to say as a person that worked in an urgent care for 11 years, my experience at Exer Porter Ranch was excellent. I went in on a Sunday in a very bad shape. ( the details of my illness is not important but very serious). I was given a check in process that was easy even for a guy who is not that tech savy. I was texted that they were ready, and a wonderful young man (Andrew) greeted me and took me in an exam room. The place is clean and spotless. He took my vitals. Asked my symptoms and my History. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The Doctor came in and examined me. He was very courteous, respectful and thourough. I did some testing, given an injection and oral medication and a prescription. Doctor Pham is top notch. I was out in an hour. I recommend this place. Bravo. read more

2+ hour wait on a Sunday. I checked in at 11am they sent a email saying I would be seen at 1:13pm. To be honest it's prob faster going to emergency room. Not sure if it's always like this but by reading the reviews it seems that way. read more

Love this new location! Located in the newer outdoor mall, The Vineyards in Porter Ranch, this urgent care is super convenient to me. On weekdays, it's a quick drive with easy parking. My visit was on a Tuesday evening. The wait was a tad long but everything else was wonderful. The facility was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor did a through job handling my issue. The nurse was able to draw my blood (normally an issue) on the first stick. Thrilled to have this new Exer so close to home. read more

My husband and I have both been sent to the hospital by doctors that are not able to diagnose a sinus infection for myself and bronchitis/pneumonia for my husband. If you want great care stay clear of the doctors at the Porter Ranch Exercise Urgent Care. Their very poor care cost us over $1000 for our two visits for our share. I called the corp office to complain about my care and felt my bill should be covered. Of course their medical director said they felt sending me to the emergency room was warranted. The emergency room doctor said to me you have a sinus infection and there is no reason the urgent care doctor couldn't have handled your situation. Since this has happened twice now we will STAY CLEAR OF THIS LOCATION. We would note the type of care you get depends on the doctors. We both have had better luck with their PA's. But I won't take a chance on this location. There are too many other urgent care locations my neighbors have been too and said they prefer over Exer! read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I walked in on a Saturday evening around 7:30 pm and was told they were at max capacity by the woman in the front. She seemed to be cleaning in shambles, as you could tell she was in a hurry to get out of there. They closed at 8 pm! How is an urgent care at max capacity?! There was one patient in the waiting room. They failed to give my daughter the care she needed. She has chronic ear infections and just needed her ears checked, it was an easier stop than heading to wait hours in the ER for the same process. I'm very disappointed by the lack of care and attitude of this employee. It is impossible that an urgent care be at max capacity, that is the point to treat patients not refuse them and send them home just because you're too lazy and want to go home yourself! Again I would understand if I walked in at 7:55 pm, but it was 7:30 pm! read more

Find a different Urgent Care. Waited for 2 hours when there were only 2 others before me. I'd already been very sick for 2 weeks. Tested me for pneumonia by a swab, NOT by xray. I'm now being charged $240 for that test because my insurance says an x-ray should have been done. I should just gone straight to the hospital, where I eventually ended up 3 days later. The cost for the hospital was my $100 flat copayment, no additional lab or xray charges. THE HOSPITAL WAS CHEAPER FOR ME! read more

While I would say the medical care is fine here... They seem to not understand you don't bill your supplemental Medicare insurance plan first... Twice now, they insist I give them my supplemental insurance info as well as my traditional Medicare insurance information. I ask them "did you list Medicare as my primary insurer..." Answer: "Yes". But sure enough... They bill my supplemental first creating a bill sent to my home saying Medicare denied the claim. Nope... They didn't bill them first. This is annoying as heck. Both them and the lab they used did this. Please train front desk folks on how to bill medicare. read more

Do not bring toddlers here! After going through the extensive online check in for my 1 year old to be seen and waiting 30 minutes, the admin gave a post it note to the Dr. (Michael Pham) about our reason for visit and without being seen Dr. advised the admin to tell us to go to the nearest ER in mission hills on a Friday night... read more

If zero stars was an option, I would give zero. I visited this location today at 2:15 p.m. that is not a lunch hour, so I thought no issues on time. I arrived with our infant child, she is 4 months old. Expressing my concern with redness to her face. NO ONE else was In the waiting room. The nurse allowed us to check In and did not mention the Dr not being available. After 25 minutes, the nurse says the doctor has decided to take a 30-45 minute break. I asked her to relay to him she was an infant and I would greatly appreciate being seen before the break. The doctor after 10 more minutes of waiting, walked through the waiting room to LEAVE and did not even look or address us. It was appalling. We left immediately. No chance I would allow a doctor comfortable In leaving for a break instead of first seeing an infant child In need. I completely understand everyone needs a break, but he already knew an infant was in the waiting room and choose at that time would be good for him. The reception was very dismissive , as if it was something to laugh about. I don't find It funny at all the well being of my daughter. We drove 4 minutes to we care urgent care where the reception was extremely welcoming and apologetic , we were seen as soon as we checked In. read more
