I feel very confident when I say that your experience at most urgent care facilities SUCKS, but…read morethis one stands apart. They are quick to see you, are kind, provide updates on the length of time you'll be waiting, etc. They don't simply do perfunctory testing, but also examine you and make an effort to understand your symptoms. Wait times can be long but you go in eyes wide open on the length of time you'll be there vs. others where you'll sit in the waiting room AND the examine room for hours without any updates.

I made a same day weekday appointment for 3pm. Checked in a little late (around 10 mins after…read moreappointment time, 310pm). I had to pay for services right when I checked in. I waited around 1 hour in the waiting room before being brought back, around 410pm. I waited in the back for about an hour before being seen by a provider, around 510pm. The motion sensor lights in the room literally turned off like 3 times because I laid there waiting for so long. I was seen by the provider for less than 10 minutes total. I wasn't in a rush to go anywhere afterwards, but if I did have plans after my appointment they would've been severely delayed. The front desk staff, nursing/ medical assisting staff and the PA seemed professional and friendly. Though the extended wait times with uncertainty of when I'd be seen rubbed me the wrong way. There wasn't a clear estimate given about the wait time, but I was told there were maybe 3 people ahead of me. I also overheard through the door something about how I was supposed to be seen before someone else, but "Oh well". That was the tipping point. Way too blasé, like it happens all the time, I guess? A suggestion is putting in a better system to avoid seeing patients out of order and causing others to wait longer unnecessarily? There weren't clear instructions given about what to do if symptoms persisted even after medication or other treatment options provided. Or possible explanations about why I had this problem. Just "Oh so this is what's happening, and here's some medication I can write for you. Okay, thanks. Bye."
