I took two stars off due to the male nurse practitioner who took vitals and asked me about why I was there. he Was outrageously rude In regards to the reason, I was there on the first place, he made me feel so unwelcome and uncomfortable , and spoke Down to me like he was above me ! The young lady at the receptionist desk and the doctor I saw a woman named Abby were absolutely fantastic, they Both made me feel like they had my best interest at heart I can’t even find the words to describe how warm and welcome they both made me feel and how at ease I felt about my condition as I left because the male nurse practitioner had me thinking I had something ridiculously more serious going on for no reason

My experience at AFC urgent care in Bedford was wonderful. The desk attendant was very helpful and very accommodating. The nurse practitioner was very professional and very welcoming and very helpful in explaining everything I needed to know. All In All I would say it was the best experience Ive had in Urgent Care in quite a long time. I highly recommend them.

AFC Urgent Care Bedford took good care of me. They explored all avenues and clearly were carefully reviewing my history and current and future options. They spent a good amount of time with me, listened and treated me with respect and kindness. I have confidence in the plan of treatment. Thank you to all the providers and staff.

Pleasant and professional employees from reception to intake person to doctor; quick diagnosis (flu), actual discussion of treatments and, empathy. Spacious set-up so I didn’t need to sit near any other patients. Appeared clean and well-run.

Very impressed with service. I came in with an infected cyst under my armpit. Nurse Practitioner Jillian anesthetized the area, exuded pus from and irrigated the cyst, placed a wick and bandaged it up and ordered oral antibiotic from my pharmacy. Told me to come back in 2 days to check it and change the dressing. I couldn’t imagine better service from my PCP or dermatologist, neither of whom could see me for over a week. Bonus …. The facility is squeaky clean

Filled out my paperwork in advance of my appointment. Arrived at my appointment 15 minutes early. Checked in immediately and was called back after 5 minutes in the waiting room. Nurses and docs were quick, responsive and informative. On the road to recovery in less than an hour. Great spot if you’re not feeling like yourself and need a quick professional opinion and your PCP is out of pocket.

Came in with stomach problems from a virus. The staff took a urine sample, blood sample and x ray and recommended a liquid diet for a day. The virus had caused loose stools and constipation. I feel much better today. Thanks.

My honest review. Sadly, I didn’t have a good experience there. Maybe I just went there on the wrong day. I felt like they just milked my insurance with various tests & unnecessary X-rays (in my case). I came there with a problem & left there with my problem. They had no answers or a solution. They were basically webmd guessing. Waste of time & money (co/payment). I should’ve just went to the emergency room; which I did the next day. Also, the male intake person at the desk was very robotic, lacked empathy, condescending, borderline rude. The one star was basically for the coffee & water that they offer. I hate to say it, but if you need something more than a bandage I wouldn’t recommend you going there. Best wishes…

Dr. Orio is great. The reception guy was nice, courteous, and speedy. The technician who took my readings, etc. was very good to. The whole place is professional yet friendly. Only suggestion is to stop asking how are you because people dont go there because they feel well.

Serious concern regarding a recent experience with a Physicians Assistant at AFC: On January 15th, a family member presented with significant eyelid erythema and edema beyond the stye he developed 2 days prior, a condition he had successfully managed at home in the past. Typically, a stye presents as an isolated, well-defined papule that responds well to warm compresses and gentle cleaning; however, this time, those treatments were ineffective, and the condition worsened considerably overnight, indicating a likely secondary infection which necessitated a medical evaluation.Despite clear clinical signs suggesting potential preseptal cellulitis secondary to the infected stye—an indication for systemic antibiotics—the PA prescribed moxifloxacin eye drops (which are typically used for conjunctivitis or infections involving the eye, sclera, conjunctiva)—and told him to give it 7-10 days despite the rapid progression of the swelling. This was not appropriate. erythromycin is the first-line treatment for infected styes when isolated and not spread across the entire lid! As expected, after administering three doses of the drops, the condition deteriorated further, with erythema and edema spreading beyond the lid to the upper brow and lower lid. This necessitated an additional urgent medical evaluation the next morning. Where the physician at another practice agreed that moxifloxacin is not the recommended go-to for infected stye treatment but rather for conjunctivitis and actual eye infections not skin infections. The appropriate medications (oral antibiotics) were prescribed however the delay in appropriate treatment led to further spreading and worsening symptoms which could have been avoided had the PA recognized that his clinical presentation warranted treatment of the skin.. not the eye.This experience highlights a missed opportunity for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, which could have prevented further complications. I hope this feedback encourages a review of diagnostic practices to enhance patient care.

Front desk help was a pleasure to deal with and very helpful. Physician was a different story, not very helpful. Explaining the what she was doing and for what reason would have been nice. Counter help took there time explaining the steps as they were being performed yet the physician seemed her time was more valuable than mine.

Overall my visit today was 10 out of 10. The staff were very welcoming, kind, and user-friendly. I would like to especially highlight the young lady at the front desk. Her customer service was top-notch. From the moment I walked through the door, she greeted me, during our interaction while checking me in she maintained the eye contact, providing reassurance that my medical inquiry was important to her. There was an incident where I had to call back to receive a passcode to see the document from my visit and she provided step-by-step instructions over the phone on how to receive my password without making me feel incompetent. Due to the amazing staff I was able to be seen by a medical professional and get treated in a reasonable in decent time.

I went in with swollen painful neck, fever, sore throat to the point I can’t swallow and ear pain. Provider was in the room at most 5 min, she spent more time listening to my lungs than anything else and never even checked my ears. Was sent home after 3 swabs and was told they would call if anything was positive…. Don’t feel like I was listened too when she didn’t even look at my ears.

Review №15

I had very bad burns from taking antibiotics for pneumonia and then staying out in the sun. The provider was very nice and caring addressing my problems and drained my blisters and cleaned them out thoroughly and put dressings on them. The provider prescribed me another type of antibiotic to deal with infection of the burns and wounds. The only thing I am disappointed about is that I did not get pain medication prescribed for me, when I am in the worst pain of my entire life She should have gone the extra mile and prescribed me pain medicine. But overall it was a 5 star experience

Once my immediate concerns had been addressed, the practitioner stood there and waited for me to prompt her. She checked her watch, waiting for me to say I was done. The lack of professionalism made me question if I was getting the best standard of care, and overall made my visit less pleasant.

Review №21

The practitioner was professional, friendly, and informative. The time to see the practitioner was quick after payment was received. I also like that they sent secure digital paperwork with all the details of what happened and what to expect.With the latest visit, I had a frustrating issue where the front staff asked for my workers compensation insurance information before I could be seen by the practitioner. I spent 20 minutes attempting to secure this information before giving up and paying by credit card to be able to continue for treatment.Although this part was frustrating, I was ultimately satisfied with what happened because Kinsley, the Director of Occupational Health & Workers Compensation Services, called me directly and apologized for my experience and personally helped me obtain my companys workers compensation insurance and claim number. She also reversed the charges to my credit card. Kinsley told me two things that will prevent these types of events for the future: (1) the front desk staff will be trained on the nuances of workers compensation insurance billing when the customer does not have the info up front; and (2) Kinsley will work to have my company workers compensation insurance in the AFC system so it will be all set should for any future incidents with employees. I really appreciated this level of professionalism and customer service.

I was taken back by this Urgent cares attitude towards patient . On Dec 14th, 2024 I rushed to Bedford from Acton taking my middle school kid as she was sick. We reached there before 8 pm . But the behavior and attitude of Jessica was beyond words. She tried to push us to Dedham and Woburn. Instead of willingness to take care of the patient this lady was more inclined towards very soon the center will get closed you may go to this and that center. My child was with me and she could literally see that the child needed a check up. If a person is not compassionate and kind, that person should opt for some other jobs . Jessica definitely needs to go to some other domain and not health care.When me and my kid returned home, and my kid was dealing with her sore throat and shivering ... Trust me I remembered Jessicas face and wondered how could she do it to a 14 year old. While she sleeps in comfort she never even gave a second thought for how this kid will sleep . Such people with no empathy and care should not be in health care. Nobody goes to urgent care for fun, she needs to realize that. Shame on Jessica and Shane on AFCHorrible! Find empathetic people for the front desk ,someone with willingness and cause to help.

While they are very nice it seems they only have physicians assistants for most appointments. This means it’s very by the book and there’s no actual thinking. So if you have an issue that requires medical skill or experience you are out of luck.

Provider was good to carefully examine patient’s asthma condition. But front desk was the worst even seen, she refused the patient to go back to talk again with provider for asking unclear prescription status. Asthma patient could go wrong if no suitable treatment is in place and in time. Obviously, front desk do not care about patient’s health and life. This girl should be fired immediately.

I am so impressed with AFC Urgent Care in Bedford! The staff is so kind, efficient, and welcoming! My husband was seen by Jillian and we cannot say enough about the person-centered and evidence-based care we received here. We were pulled from the waiting room within five minutes and triaged by a very friendly staff person (I’m sorry I didn’t get her name). Triage included asking about chest pain and shortness of breath to accurately inform the sense of urgency for next steps. This person anticipated the orders from the provider so when we saw Jillian she had all the information she needed to make her diagnosis and recommend next steps. Jillian explained every intervention, recommendation, and informed our expectations for next steps and when to seek follow up care. We were in and out quickly and feel confident and comfortable with the care plan. Jillian clearly believes in the vision of AFC urgent care, and now we do, too! Thank you!!Return visit and second review 12/26/24Hayley was our provider today and I cannot say enough good things about her care. AFC is fantastic but Hayley’s approach to person centered, evidence based practice stands alone. She is thorough and thoughtful, comprehensive and cautious. She considers all of the factors presented and treats for best outcomes from the evidence based practice perspective and the patient comfort perspective. She listens and pays thoughtful consideration in treatment planning, while being kind and pleasant in all interactions.Hayley’s approach to care is the standard that should be followed. I have to say that AFC has been consistent, reliable, and delivers high quality care, as evidenced by their commitment to retaining high quality medical professionals.Hayley was fantastic and we are super grateful.

Two of us went there for multiple symptoms. Staff were friendly and competent. We were informed there is nothing major, but number of over the counter medicines and remedies were mentioned. I am disappointed that there were no written details that we were given in the end to take and refer back to. I hope this can be improved.

Horrible! Horrible!! Horrible!!! After weeks of back and forth, and the higher you go from V.P. Lindsay to Pres. Dave, I feel the more inaccurate and misleading the information I was given.

I’ve always had a great experience here. The staff is friendly, and I am usually taken quickly, with or without an appointment (but still depending on how many people are waiting). Today I went in without an appointment because they were all full (and surprisingly no one was there) and I was in and out in about 15-20 mins from check in to check out. It was nice to not feel like I was waiting forever to be seen, and everyone was very helpful.

Review №74

Experienced great service in the past. However, today I called ahead to find out if it was okay to come in without my physical insurance card. I had my member ID. I was told that was fine. The man at the desk in Bedford gave me a hard time. When he finally put the ID number in the system he said the card was not active. I knew it was active because I had just used it. My husband took up time at work (during a meeting) to call the insurance. They verified all the information. I even provided the man at the desk with a number to call to verify the information. He refused to call. Then called and pretended they hung up on him. He insisted there was nothing he could do and that he didn’t need to talk to the insurance. He said that he couldn’t spend time on the phone with the insurance company. I told him that the insurance could fax information or provide information. He refused and he seemed to not want to provide us with service. He definitely did not want to proceed with our appointment with insurance. He was not trying to solve the issue. He was very quick to write us off. I called another location to set up an appointment with the intent of leaving this location and going there. The other location was able to verify my insurance in a matter of minutes as I made the appointment over the phone (I asked them to check the member ID before I drove to the other location).

I always have a good experience here. From a quick check in to coming in without an appointment, we as a family always find a solution here. We usually don’t have to wait to actually be seen and we can pick up whatever medications we need at the cvs down the road. They also are able to assess a situation and let us know if we need to go to the ER if it’s something beyond their operations -which happened to me once. Overall a good experience and I’m glad they are around.

I went in Sunday morning with suspected strep. I hadnt made an appointment, but they got me in quickly. Everyone was very friendly and quick. The woman at the front desk was particularly helpful and friendly. There was an issue with my insurance, and before I had time to contact them myself, she had reached out to someone else within her organization to find a solution. What was truly incredible was that this morning (two days later), they called to find out how I was feeling. My PCP has NEVER done that for me. I was incredibly touched and would absolutely recommend that others visit.

I’ve been coughing up gunk for a week and decided to go in because my child had just been treated for walking pneumonia. After being checked I was told they won’t prescribe any antibiotics without an x-ray. The problem is they don’t have an x-ray and I’d need to drive 30-45 mins away, wait for an x-ray, then get one to get an antibiotic treatment.My son literally just had this. I’m coughing up green gunk. I’m asking for antibiotics and willing to risk the fact it’s not 100% without an x-ray versus wasting up to 3 more hours of my day. Just prescribe it and don’t waste my time.I also asked for a flu shot and didn’t get one.

Why on earth are appointments required if you have to wait literally an hour and a half to be seen. The ER would have taken the same amount of time. Literally spent the entire afternoon with an 18mo old waiting to see a PA for five minutes. So to sum it up, do not go to this urgent care. It is incredibly inefficient and to top it off, the care is as mediocre at best. I knew more than the PA with my TV MD. And, I will not go into the way she spoke to me and my husband as if we had no working knowledge of anything. The funny part is my husband is actually a physician working at Northwestern Medical Center in Chicago. Implicit bias at its best. Don’t go. Find another one.

Never fun going to Urgent Care, but the people who work at the Bedford location are great! They are super friendly and made me laugh when I was pretty nervous. Super helpful, quick and nice. What more could you ask for from your town urgent care on a holiday weekend?!

For travel vaccinations, I would say only come here if you are desperate. It’s $85 for a quick visit. And if you need something like a typhoid vaccine, you need to go way in advance, pay in advance, then wait for it to get shipped to the facility then pay $150. By contrast, my doctor put an order in at cvs and the typhoid vaccine was filled same day for $130. They inflate the cost and it takes more time.

I went into urgent care Sunday around right around the first quarter of the Super Bowl after 2 days of abdominal pain. I thought it was food poisoning or a gastrointestinal bug. After a quick examination and urine test they sent me to the ER (Winchester Hosp). There I had a CAT scan where they diagnosed appendicitis. I watched the end of the Super Bowl in my exam room and about a half hour after was wheeled into surgery to have my burst appendix removed surgically with a laparoscopic appendectomy. Going to Urgent Care at that time was the best decision I ever made. I had thought about waiting another night to see if things would improve but that is what a knucklehead would do.

We have already used UC Bedford several times for our son and have had very good experiences. The medical history was taken very carefully and time was taken to find out the exact causes. Both the nurses and the medical team were competent and friendly. After 2-3 days, we were also asked again by phone how we were feeling and asked for general feedback. We can unreservedly recommend the UC Bedford on the basis of these visits.

Review №119

We visited twice and I had very good impression about our first visit very clean and friendly staff. However today not so much. My son had a fever and he complained about his ear so we took him. I don’t judge the physician decisions because she’s the expert but the way she treated my son made me very uncomfortable. He’s a 5 year old with pain in his ear. After the check, she said he has ear wax so she couldn’t see anything. The nurse came in to clean it up but no obvious result. The nurse even said for kids his age, it can be hard but the physician insisted to clean it up otherwise she couldn’t do anything. So more cleaning by spraying water in the ear and eventually my son started crying and resisting pretty hard. Instead of suggesting something else or maybe just stop. More splash and water got everywhere, which made me super uncomfortable. I just felt that she didn’t know how to deal with kid… also I said several times I did covid test at home so it might not be covid but they just kept suggesting covid test and flu test. Eventually we did test my son but I was like… why? Anyway, we ended up leaving with a ear drop prescription. Not coming back for sure.

I had a great experience with AFC Bedford. I injured my finger on labor day weekend and they were the closest urgent care that was open. The wait time was minimal and probably faster than an ER. The PA Raksa was very reassuring, kind and polite and patched my finger up well. I give her many thumbs ups! The following day I was able to get a follow up visit done with the doctor, who changed the wound dressing and provided instructions of recovery and then they called me up the next day to ensure that all was well. In all they provided great care and service. Highly recommend!

Only go there if it’s an absolute emergency. They don’t accept insurance for anything and you have to pay out of pocket. Not to mention the receptions act money hungry. Insisting you pay before you get anything done. The service was mad slow I had a scheduled appointment at 3:30 didn’t leave until 5:30. I was in the empty waiting room for about an hour. I was getting one shot. That’s it. They didn’t even have to check vitals.Anyway don’t go here unless you absolutely desperately. And ends up it’s not affordable health care.

Had to find another provider to give my daughter her flu shot, as there was some supply issue with her pediatrician. That office told me to go to one of the pharmacies, but I couldn’t find an open slot (except in Boston or South Shore). So we came to AFC as a walk-in. The staff was awesome…told us the process and what to expect. Explained the different forms and gave us an approximate wait time. My daughter got her shot relatively quickly too. Highly recommend them, and there are multiple locations. Would have been quicker if I made an appt on their website. But still really quick for a Monday evening. Really appreciate their efforts!

After being unable to find a an appointment anywhere for a COVID test, a friend recommended I go to Urgent Care in Bedford. They did not have any appointments available, but their website indicated walk-ins welcome.My daughter and I arrived an hour after they opened and only waited ten minutes to get registered. The receptionist was very friendly and a pleasure to work with. Once registered we were able to sit in our car and wait to be tested, which only took twenty minutes.Received a text within two hours with results.Service and care were excellent!

Staff is uneducated on how to handle any medical card with an accompanying 49cfr intrastate medical exemption waiver required for certain conditions by the CMV. Also about 30$ higher than what most occupational services cost to perform the same DOT exam I asked for my money back so I can go to the more reputable and knowledgeable hospital that I normally go to in Cambridge, was basically told to go pound sand by the nurse at the desk and billing department never followed up. 10 years with no issues renewing medical cards until I had to deal with AFC. I’d rather drive further to my old doctor. If you are anything less than 100% healthy with no pre-existing condition do not waste your time. Iv never had to make four visits to any dot examiner.

We had an absolutely horrendous experience at AFC Bedford and Burlington. We waited with our three year old, who had shut his fingers in a door, for three hours to be brought into a room. When I kept asking for updates on wait times I was told “ I don’t know” and “five minutes”. We were then in a room we continued to be told 5 minutes, and it was closer to 30. The person who roomed us asked my three year old to rate his pain 1-10, which I explained was not age appropriate. Once the doctor came in, for barely two minutes, she said we needed an X-ray, which I had called before presenting to the urgent care to ensure they had pediatric X-ray capabilities. They brought my son back for an X-ray and the machine was broken. They then sent us to Bedford. We were brought immediately into a room and quickly got an X-ray there, however the doctor then said the doctor at Burlington would call me. I explained I did not have service and asked for her to tell us what was wrong. She explained. Barely answered questions and sent us on our way, without the X-ray imagine, which I drove back to get later that night. I then had my sons PCP look at the image the next day and they missed a fracture in a finger they did not even indicate had an injury. Two different doctors at AFC locations missed this. I have also now been trying to reach a manage to discuss my expunge who I was told would get back to me urgently last Friday. Absolutely appalling care. Don’t go here. Especially not with a child, would have been better of in an emergency room.

I took an appointment on the web and went to the center at my scheduled time. After checkin, I waited for a while before I was called by nurse into a store room as there were no rooms available. A bunch of questions and swab tests were done while standing in the narrow store room with no seats. Finally room was available and I was moved there. After waiting there for more than an hour all by myself, I came out and was asking the nurse at reception on why it’s taking so long. As she was explaining , another nurse came by and almost started yelling that they are busy in a very confrontational tone. I was not even talking to her and just wanted to remind the receptionist that I have been waiting. This was completely uncalled for. I then go back to the room and the doctor shows up immediately after. Without any other pleasantries I am asked- how long have you been coughing. I was not even coughing then was asked so what is the problem. She did not look any of the prior notes. In the course of conversation, an OTC drug was mentioned which I asked for in writing but was told to just ask the pharmacist instead. Overall a very bad experience to treat a patient.

UPDATE 8/4/23: New very complex form to fill out on your phone, including pictures of both sides of your drivers license and insurance card. Although they already had most of this information for me. Once that was done, they took care of my problem with ease. Convenient and fast. Couldnt get a Dr appointment today so used them. Excellent!..UPDATE: the following day I had extreme pain in my belly, which is why I went here. I went to the ER and had a severe gall bladder problem. The ER was surprised that they didnt even run any blood checks. Whether my problem got very bad in the next 24 hours or they overlooked something I dont know. As they say this is not an ER. Be sure you know what service type you need...REVIEW: This was my first time using any of these clinics. I was pleasantly surprised. There was a simple one-page form to fill out. Half of the information you did not need to supply. It was a Saturday morning and it was a little busy, but I only had to wait 10 minutes. It is nice having a screen with the list of people ahead of you and the estimated wait times. The nurse took my Vital Signs and asked a number of questions and entered my answers into a tablet. A few minutes later the PA came in and asked some more detailed questions and did more of a physical exam. While they didnt nail the problem exactly, they ruled out a number of more serious issues which was my initial concern. She gave me some advice and written instructions and said if I wasnt better in a day or two to go to the ER or my doctor. It was covered by my insurance, I just had a copay. Well worth it! My experience here was as good or better as I have ever had at any doctors office. No appointment was needed, a minimal wait, and I felt they were a lot more concerned about my well-being then a typical doctors office.

Starting out as a good experience later turned into a nightmare of misinformation and confusion. 05/27/2023, about 3:30pm, the doctor’s examination for hernia or muscle spasm revealed no problem.

When I book an appointment online and give all information including current medications, allergies, medical history, insurance card copies, drivers license, etc., my expectation as a customer is that you would make every effort to make sure I am seen at my appointment time.

The clinic was clean and all of the covid precautions were in place. The staff was extremely courteous and professional. I went to ACF Urgent Care because my husband had recommended it to me. I was feeling quite ill with upper respiratory symptoms. I had made an appointment the night before. When I arrived the next day for my appointment, the waiting room had several people with appointments and several walk-ins. The front desk made sure that everyone’s issues were addressed and were very calm and kind under the sort of pressure that only a pandemic can bring forward. I was very impressed with the measured and thoughtful way that they treated each person seeking care or seeking testing.I was seen by three different professionals( vitals, medical history and test).

Also there were several TVs, soft music playing, and free Wi-Fi available.We were brought to a room within 15-20 minutes of arriving and the room was clean and spacious and the staff member put on a movie to help ease my childs visible discomfort of having to go to a doctor. The staff member was very attentive to me as I answered her questioned and the intake/triage process went smoothly.The PA was professional, patient, and quick with examining and diagnosing my child. She quickly and expertly explained his condition, how to treat it and immediately sent a prescription to our pharmacy, as well as, provide us with paperwork about my childs visit and a note for his school.We never felt rushed, the entire staff gave a sincere goodbye and my child left happier then when we arrived.While we have a primary care physician, we were not able to get an immediate appointment. We are very content with the convenience and professionalism of AFC Urgent Care Bedford.

Donna MAbsolutely fantastic care! Helped me very much with my care. They got me an appointment at LAhey for a much needed ultrasound the same day so I did not have to go to ER. What a great help this was for me. Cannot say enough about this staff!! Would recommend highly! Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart!Sincerely,Donna M.

I am very disappointed in the service we received. My daughter went for a Covid test and was told she would have results in a day or so.On the day of her appointment she did not get seen until 45 minutes later than her appointment time. I thought maybe they were short handed because every place is right now so it wasnt a big deal. However, it has been 4 days and we have no test results. Ive called at least 5 times and no one answers. Ive left 2 messages with my call back info and email but no response. Weve had to cancel dentist and doctor appointments because we didnt have the results. Just a very frustrating experience.

I had an EXCELLENT experience at AFC Bedford. We were going for a Covid Test but they carefully asked other questions to determine what was happening. Both people that came to the car were pleasant, professional, and dedicated! Really impressed.

Ive been here for multiple times and the first few times is positive or neutral experience. However, the most recent one for a covid test is awful. The waiting time is very long. When I walk in, the receptionist doesnt inform me the waiting time. And after about 1.5 hours wait and it finally come to my turn, they suddenly find I need wait more time because I need a triage which is not ready yet. And a guy come much later than me for a test just enter without any problem. I am pretty sure people before me with symptom entered with no delay. And the staff is very rude, reluctant to explain a little bit except for urging me to take a sit. I feel they basically want you to sit there and wait whatever long without any questions like a dummy. I truly think the front dest staff should be more professional, especially in a busy day.

DO NOT GO TO THIS CLINIC!!!my husband called this place beforehand and the staff there encouraged him to make an appointment to get the prescription. During the appointment , the PA was EXTREMELY RUDE and told him that he could not get the prescription and SHE HUNG UP on him RIGHT AWAY!!! There were several problems with this clinic:1. they never sent us a doctors note after the appointment and we had no idea what was going on.2. when we called, the staff there told us we could get the prescription if we booked the appointment. and apparently this was WRONG. now we have to pay $$ for an extremely unpleasant appointment only to find out we couldnt get the prescription after all. and they took ZERO responsibility for it and we have to pay the bill.3. the PA there was shockingly shockingly RUDE!4. AND they charge us the full amount for this 20 seconds appointment where we only got yelled at!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???We will definitely report this.

Never received my 30 minute check in text, went in 15 minutes early and was told my email must not have worked. Many people, some obviously ill in the waiting area and constantly being told we are running a little late. A great deal of confusion as people approach the desk who have been waiting as to who was checked in and who they were seeing! My 3:45 appt was not done until at least 4:45 after I complained in the waiting room. Very disorganized and unprofessional!

Terrible experience. Front desk very unfriendly, does not explain or answer to your questions. She did not give me my Driver’s license or insurance card, only when I asked for it back. Long wait. When finally seen, they insisted on doing a COVID test and flu test even though I had told them I was negative. When doctor arrived, they did not check me and only told me to drink ibuprofen for the pain, something for the cough and allergy. Today my symptoms are worse and I’ll have to go to a different UC again to be seen. Do not recommend this place.

So glad my friend recommended AFC urgent care. We were in and out in about 25 minutes. Everyone was very nice. The P.A. was great. Professional and friendly. Diagnosed quickly that ear pain was not an infection but most likely allergy related.

The first part of my visit for a PCR Covid test which I needed for travel ($150) went well. I had an appointment at 12:45, and the clinician was right on time coming to my car and taking my sample. She told me Id have a text in 30 minutes if it was negative and a call if it was positive.The frustration was the six hours and at least as many calls (from me to them) with no call or text - only the explanation that the lab was backed up. And, after 6 pm they stopped answering the phone.If only I had known that AFC had sent me an email 5 hours earlier (2:45 pm) inviting me to view my medical record! When I accepted the invite I was able to see a document that was hard to decipher but had one critical line: SARS-Cov-NAAT: Negative.This PDF ultimately did the trick to get me onto my flight but the lack of clear communication was frustrating - specifically: telling me the lab was backed up when they had sent my results via email, not texting as they said they would (I never did receive a text) and not answering the phone after 6 pm when they are open until 8 pm.I hold AFC and its workers in extremely high regard for providing this critical service at a reasonable price, but am submitting this review to (1) guide others urgently needing their covid test results and (2) hopefully impress upon AFC the need to address these communication issues.

Primary care could not fit him in to be seen same day, so sent us to ER or urgent care. picked urgent care, always less wait, and problem did not seem to be worthy of hospital visit. went in to get checked out, the doctor found sth in mouth of patient that needs immediate biopsy. we probably would have never checked it t otherwise
