The care my husband received was fine. What is frustrating is the appointment scheduling. He had made an appointment for 6pm and wasn’t even called back until well after 7. I understand being busy but if there is no actual utilization of the appointment system them don’t allow them. That way there is no expectation of being seen when you think you will be.That being said the care we have always received there has always been good and the Doctors are thorough.

I arrived (for the first time) at Urgent Care at 6:50 on December 26th. I filled out the papers and got in line after all the other patients there (maybe 10 or 12). I was last in at about 7:45. The nurse took my info and had me give a urine sample. Then I waited for about 10 or 15 minutes for the nurse practitioner (Julie) to come in and give me a diagnosis. She called a prescription in to a pharmacy on Street Road, that was supposedly open until 9, but I drove over there and it had closed at 7:00.I called the next day and talked to Julie, who transferred the prescription to my local pharmacy. She was very helpful and kind.So my impression of the place was good. Sufficient parking, not a huge place, the desk people were efficient and nice. I knew I would have to wait a good bit, but I was happy they let me in that late, since they were closing at 8. And as I said, Julie was very nice to deal with. I would go there again and also recommend this Urgent Care to others.

Went to Urgent Care this morning for my son to get X-ray. He was the first patient and when we was taken to the back an argument started between X-ray tech as she was cussing and complaining about her daughter being asked to clean the bathroom. She went on complaining about being mistreated. I stepped in the hallway to ask was my son going to be able to get X-ray. The doctor finally came in our room did an exam of his finger. She stated she would see if he would be able to get an X-ray. She came back 15 minutes later and apologized that the X-ray tech had to go home on a medical emergency which was a lie! She said I am sorry we will refund your money. What a waste of time as my son is an high school basketball player and has a game December 27, 2024. All of this because your organization decided to hire her daughter and have them work the same shift. We have received services from this Urgent Care since we moved to West Chester 18 years ago and will never go there again. I never leave reviews but this was the worst experience especially on Christmas Eve. This experience immediately put me in a horrible mood that I can’t seem to shake.

I went to AFC the other night as my son was complaining of an ear ache and had a really good experience all around from the front desk staff to the medical staff. In particular i was so grateful they were able to get me in before closing and how supportive they were in helping me to find a pharmacy that had hours after 8pm so i could start my son on the medicine that night. I found the staff to be friendly, helpful, accommodating, and i appreciated the extra touch of snacks and water laid out for patients in the reception area.

This is my fifth time visiting Urgent Care and each time I’ve been completely overwhelmed and satisfied with the professional care I received each and every time. So many people who truly care about me and getting the best care possible. The location was easy to find with plenty of parking. I recommend urgent care over the ER every time. Thx Dr. Sax for your advice and professional care to me.

Ive been here twice, received excellent care both times. This time was for the flu last time was for Covid. Unfortunately the wait time can be somewhat long, which is uncomfortable when youre not feeling good. But thats why its called Urgent Care and not emergency care. Too urgent to wait for a doctors appointment, but not urgent enough to go to the emergency room. I would come back here again if the need arises.

I was here again, and learned of another issue that should be so simple to fix.Sick in the middle of the night, I scheduled an appointment for 10am to avoid waiting for a long time. Turns out the appointment isnt actually one and I was stuck waiting 2.5 hours for care. Had I known that, I wouldve shown up first thing in the morning and not wasted my day.When I mentioned it to multiple staff members - they admitted it shouldnt be called an appointment or reservation and they mentioned how many people complain... including them, to the owner... whom still hasnt fixed this.Will be going elsewhere next timeIts a simple fix... fix it.

Everybody is very helpful and kind and professional. Dr Sax was one of the very few providers I ever interacted with who reviewed my entire chart before seeing me. He is practicing that kind of medicine where physicians care about patients, not only as cases. I am truly appreciative. Happy new year, everyone!

I was so impressed and surprised at the attention and care that I received at AFC West Chester. Everyone was attentive and caring and kind. Dr. Cherikuri and her nurse assistants were the best. I was diagnosed quickly and given prescriptions and a breathing treatment in the office. What a sharp contrast to the Exton Main Line Urgent Care that I had visited the week before! I would only go back to AFC if needed again. I did make an appointment online and preregistered, so the wait was not horrible, even though they were busy. So pleased with the care!

Review №10

Staff was courteous and professional. I was able to submit all my documents online, so wait time was minimal. They were able to make a diagnosis based on on-site testing. Their instructions about what actions to take given the diagnosis, and what conditions might indicate a crisis are clear and easy to understand.

I’ve been to AFC for TB tests but this is my first sick visit. The front office staff has always been welcoming. I was registered and seen in a timely manner. The physician took time to hear my concerns regarding different medications because of my history. I really appreciated that! I never felt pushed or rushed. I would definitely recommend this office.

I was happy with the service and the waiting time was acceptable. I had an appointment which helped. My only complaint is waiting room management. A patient was coughing non stop and nobody told him to wear a mask. There is small sign encouraging people to wear a mask when theyre sick but that needs to be enforced.

We arrived 20 minutes before 8PM closing and the staff was fantastic. Checked in, X-rays (broken bone in hand), temporary cast, and we were out of there by 815PM. We walked out with a disc containing the Xray pictures. My compliments.

We were able to make an online appointment and we were taken back earlier than expected. The nurse was very helpful and professional. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and thorough.On a lighter note, I’m sure waiting time can vary depending on demand and they had complimentary water and snacks.

They offer appointments online. When you get here they tell you it’s not an appointment. It’s just a pre registration. Going on 70 minute wait still sitting here. I took my lunch break to come get checked. I am now almost an hour late getting back to work. This place is dirty and unorganized

Went here about a month ago for an allergy attack that was lasting multiple days. They prescribed a med that worked. All was good.Today I’m having a repeat situation for over 24 hours and I called for a refill on the prescription since I’m working until after they close and I can’t get there for an in person exam. Refused to refill the prescription and refused to do a telemedicine consult. Thanks for nothing. No empathy. No flexibility. I’ll just suffer at work and try not to overdose on OTC meds. Guess they skipped the Hippocratic oath course lecture day. 🤬

Visited the West Chester location on Aug 14th. I was greeted with a friendly smile and brought back immediately upon finishing required paperwork. The medical assistant was attentive and professional. Wendy was excellent and examined my wound and explained the procedure before stitching got underway. She patiently answered questions and concerns. Additionally the office and examination room were clean and orderly. A very positive experience.

Review №26

Although the front desk and tech who took my blood pressure was nice, the Dr had zero bedside manner. Asked me zero questions and seemed annoyed I was there. It wasnt busy at all when I had gone. Something went wrong with the lab culture they took per Labcor they hadnt filled something out properly. When I called about it I was not treated with respect. Needless to say never got results. I do not recommend this branch.

The female Nurse Practitioner who attended my son last week Tuesday constantly argued and dismissed everything I told her as concerning my son’s health. I got there around 7pm and they were closing around 8 I think, and I could tell she was dismissive so she can rush me and my 6 year old out. Made me feel like I was crazy enough to bring in a child who did not need medical attention. She barely even looked at him, and kept referring to him as “he is ok, I think it’s because you gave him such and such snack” like Hello!!!! I was so disappointed. I left after paying and went home. Next day I saw my son was not looking too good and I went to the drug store and bought some over the counter meds so I thought might my son and it’s been a week, luckily he is much better. That woman reduced me to an ignorant mother in front of a younger female nurse. I will not be going there again. Nothing feels worse than a healthcare provider who doesn’t listen to the concerns,especially of a parent who had to leave her other kids home and rush to the urgent care that late in the evening. Only to be dismissed and argued with.

I love this place!I have a great PCP but sometimes things happen after 3pm. Yesterday, I got an appointment here and the receptionist said they were running behind because they only had 1 office person and 1 provider in.During my longer than usual wait, the receptionist remained exceptionally calm and helpful even while a patient had an insurance issue with the Ches.Co. ER sending them back to AFC and AFC said they needed to go to the ER. The receptionist called the ER and straightened it out.When my provider came for me at no time did I ever feel rushed. I got the care I needed.At the West Chester AFC everything is always done with a high level of professionalism.Thank you!

Review №32

AFC West Chester is a money grab. The patient has a history of recurrent symptomatic ear infections and the clinician Amy wouldn’t prescribe an antibiotic bc it hasn’t been 24hrs and reminded the patient “I’m the clinician”. Very rude. Happened a month ago, different scenario where the patient was denied the antibiotic and condition became full blown.Stay clear of this location

Review №33

I usually come here whenever I am sick but i didn’t have a great experience this time. firstly, i told the first person i saw (not sure if nurse or ma) that i had a headache and cough. the doctor or pa (whichever it was) came in and said since you have a sore throat let’s do a strep swab. i simply didn’t have a sore throat nor did i say that i did. i was given an rx to treat symptoms and after taking the medications and researching them and talking to some of my colleagues that are physicians, what i was given is typically used as a local anesthetic (not for a wet cough like i had) which explains why it made me feel extremely crazy when i took it. not to mention when i left i was given a different patient’s chart by mistake. i didn’t realize until i left so i came back and luckily the patient who it was for was still sitting waiting to receive it. the younger woman working who gave me the wrong chart was very rude and seemed irritated that i was given the wrong chart?? as if it was my fault somehow. i then got my correct chart and gave him his and left. it just felt very unorganized and unprofessional which was disappointing because i’ve never had a bad experience here before.

I would recommend that the next time a woman comes to you with fever and vomiting that you’re not only recommend the brat diet and nausea medicine but to take a urine sample. That was on Thursday, October 24, 2024.Today is Monday, October 28, 2024. I have been in Chester County hospital since Saturday morning, October 26. I will be released hopefully tomorrow with a pick line for a seven day an anabiotic for a raging UTI and a kidney stone with infection.I think if I’d given you a urine sample last Thursday, I would be two days ahead on this process.Hopefully this information is helpful if cases like mine come up again.

Review №38

A total waste of time. Had an injury while working on my house and needed to get an X-ray. I called at 1:15 to make sure they can indeed do an X-ray there and the woman on the phone confirmed they absolutely can. Ok great. I get there by 2, check in, pay my $175, and fill out all the forms, again insuring I could get a x-ray there. The woman again confirmed I could get an x-ray. There is only 4 other people in the waiting room. Fast-forward to 4:30 when I’m FINALLY ready to be seen…..just to be told the x-ray tech left at 4:00 and an x-ray is now impossible. Sat in the waiting room for 2+ hours in excruciating pain just to leave because the incompetence of their employees.

I couldn’t get in to see my doctor for 2 weeks, so I went to urgent care West Chester. The Dr was very kind, professional and thorough, performed all exams and tests that I would’ve expected my own doctor to perform. You may wait a bit to be seen even with an appointment, but I didn’t feel rushed when I was seen.

I was very pleased with my visit at Urgent Care! For my first time there as a patient, I registered in with two friendly ladies all the way to my nurse practitioner. They took their time listening to my needs. From the minute I came in, to the minute I exited! Everything was in a timely manner and an overall set of wonderful people! Everyone was so welcoming! I will definitely go back if there’s a moment my primary doctor can’t see me asap. Thank you to all! Truly appreciate you and your kindness!!

My son had an infection in his leg and could not walk. I took him to Chester county hospital emergency room and they saw him and were going to give him prescriptions, one of them being antibiotics which he needed to get better. When they realized he had no insurance, they basically booted him out of the hospital! So I took him to AFC urgent Care in West Chester. They treated him with kindness and respect, and they gave him a prescription for the antibiotic that he needed. We should have went there first. Thank you AFC staff and doctor 😊

Review №46

The wait was very long, almost 2 hours. But the process for registering and checking in were very efficient. And the visit with the nurse and physician was excellent. I really appreciated that the prescription was phoned in for me. My only feedback is to write the prescription instructions the same as the instructions given in the office. The bottle on one of my prescriptions said to take the medicine 3x day, and not to drive for 8 hours after taking. The doctor’s instructions were to take it once at bedtime. It required an extra phone call back to the office to make sure the oral instructions overrode the written instructions on the bottle.

I suspected I had Covid so I made an appointment online fully expecting that there would be a full waiting room. When I arrived the waiting room was indeed busy with what seemed like an entire fraternity of sick college kids. I was taken back within 10 mins, received my Covid test administered by a nice young man & then seen by a lovely Dr who confirmed my Covid diagnosis. The Dr asked me if I’d like a prescription for paxlovid, she informed me of the possible side effects & sent me on my way. Probably the best visit to Urgent Care I’ve ever experienced & God knows I’m there a lot lol.

There were 5 people who were in the waiting room when I arrived. I waited 2 hours to be seen (after paying a $50 copay) and then was literally left in the room after I saw the PA. I thought hmmm 8 oclock is a bit late and when I poked my head out of the door, there he was with his jacket and backpack on. Each of the front desk computers were logged out, and the lights were off. I couldnt really believe it. I then waited for my scripts to be printed out, and went to leave. The door was locked. Come on man, This is crazy.

Review №53

Horrible experience. I won’t go back. Despite pre-registering, I waited over an hour. The MA who obtained my vital signs was coughing, but had no mask on. I asked if she had COVID in case I needed a mask. She said no. She did not use the ear thermometer appropriately ( I’m a nurse, so I know this for sure). The provider came in, did not introduce herself . No idea if a physician, PA, or CRNP. Regardless…I have a lesion on my skin that was present for about a week but in less than 24 hours progressed it tripled in size and color change. The provider when she viewed it, had a look on her face like I can’t believe you are wasting in friggin time. Said it was just skin irritation from heat. Sweat, clothing rubbing. Fast forward three days later after this nurse/patient treats herself with frequent hot compresses and triple antibiotic ointment, the lesion formed a head, burst into a lovely pus fluid and scabbed over. I continue to watch it and use the ointment, but I will never go back to AFC WC.

Was feeling pretty miserable so appreciated being seen without having to wait long at all. Was so furious to learn that I have COVID. Was examined thoroughly ... heart/ lungs in particular. What I had to do was explained thoroughly with Paxlovid meds part in recovery. I felt that I had been seen, listened to, examined and interacted with completely to my satisfaction. Was stressed that if I needed further help that help would be available. Was given information papers explaining the visit to take home. Thank you for your caring practice of medicine.

The facility was easy to find and access. The desk clerks were professional and kind. In addition, they were very honest with my wait time in case I wanted to be seen elsewhere. There was plenty of seating in the waiting room. About 40-50 percent of the waiting room was full of patients. My wait time was less than the clerk anticipated, despite the amount of patients present. The nurse brought me to an exam room that appeared tidy and clean, she was quick and pleasant gathering details for my chart. She left and the doctor came in a few minutes later and listened to all I had to say about my symptoms. He discussed my options for treatment with me and was able to send my information to my primary care physician at the VA in Coatesville. Bonus was that they were able to send my prescription to the Coatesville VA pharmacy too. Overall I felt like they did a great job with the patient load that was there. In my opinion they seem to be running things as efficiently as they can. I will go there again should I need any urgent care medical attention. Thank you AFC Urgent Care!

Very poor nursing bed side manner and professionalism and medical knowledge from Julie Rich. I work in health care myself, but I was very disappointed with the service. I was thrown in a room for 30 minutes when I feel sick ears clogged possible ear infection. Was about to walk out and leave because it was taking too long and I found the nurse sitting in an office doing nothing while I was waiting. She came in and told me I was exaggerating my ear pain and symptoms and swabbed me for Covid. Can do that at home. Heard her speak rudely to the nursing assistant who actually gave me much better care than the actual “nurse practitioner.” Ridiculous. Nurse refused to flush out my ears. Will not be returning. I know urgent cares generally have bottom of the barrell nurses but this was horrible. If I wasn’t waiting on my new insurance I never would have gone here and will now not be returning.

Need to add this: on 11/29, I was alerted to the possible diagnosis of appendicitis. I was encouraged to visit the ER and was quickly diagnosed with appendicitis and underwent surgery 2 hours later. My thanks to Dr. Spencer for his incredible expertise!!!

I came in here at 1:00 on a Friday. There was only 1 patient waiting. I did not get called back until 2:00. Waited in the room for another 30 minutes. Considering walking out multiple times. Will never come back here again. 2 hours?? I guess they think people have nothing else to do with their day.Better off going somewhere else

I came in a busy Friday evening. I did have to wait a good 45 mins in the waiting room, but that was to be expected with the amount of people in front of me. Everyone was very pleasant and accommodating. The PA I saw first apologized for the long wait time. The provider I saw was helpful and made me feel comfortable. I would happily go here again!

The new addition to the AFC is amazing.Went in on a Sunday morning and the place was jammin! When I left, the waiting room was full!All the P.A.s and N.P.s are ultra professional, efficient and up on the latest practices.I am always treated with respect.Only one negative, making the appointment on line with a cellphone is problematic. Even when youre in their system you still need to insert photos of drivers license and insurances cards.Otherwise a great place.

My primary doctor didnt have any open appointments and I needed to see someone before the weekend started. Urgent Care of West Chester was open, professional, and friendly. My wait wasnt long.

Review №106

Usually a good place to obtain care, taking off three stars because of a visit I paid them due to allergies (hives specifically) recently. I had been to a different urgent care the night prior for the same issue on a lesser scale, they knew this and that my pharmacy wasn’t open until the next day. The nurse was very nice and attentive, the doctor however seemed as if she couldn’t care less. Like I was just another human complaining of itching. She even told me, “they are annoying but not life threatening so you’ll be fine.” I had already done everything I could think of to relieve some of the discomfort, after leaving AFC, a few hours later I was completely covered, shaking, head to toe in hives and ended up in the ER. Chester County hospital seemed surprised that AFC didn’t do a single thing other than take my blood pressure, the doctor didn’t even listen to my lungs or heart which I thought was standard practice. Was sad to have this experience and hope they start taking allergic reactions more seriously. That could have been much worse had I not sought out alternate care.

PA Thomas, the x-ray tech, the nurse or tech, and front staff all provided professional and efficient care, with compassion and friendliness, and I left in much better shape than when entered, with whats needed to carry on. The care instructions were superb too, including directing to the appropriate specialist that most of us wouldnt consider. So grateful. The only criticism is clockwise scheduling didnt send a confirmation so I called to confirm. If clockwise would send an email or text it would be helpful.Ive also recently heard a story where they acted quickly and saved someones digit there.Thank you so very much for the excellent care and followup instructions. Glad youre there when we need you.

Review №116

I wanted to share some feedback about my recent experience with Prednisone. Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to the medication, and when I came in for the follow-up appointment, my condition was quite concerning. I had a rash all over my body, confusion, lips that turned blue at times, an unhealthy-looking tongue, and an unstable pulse. I couldnt think or speak clearly, and my behavior was off. When asked to show my tongue, I couldnt even do it properly on the first try and didnt fully understand what was happening to me.I informed the doctor that I hadnt slept for two days and that every time I lay down, my hands twitched.While I understand that Prednisone reactions can be complex, I was a bit surprised that my symptoms werent more closely examined. I didnt think to go to the emergency room because I have only lived in the USA for five years and have never experienced anything like this before. I was advised that Prednisone typically does not cause a rash and was suggested to see a dermatologist, but I was in severe discomfort from the withdrawal /overdose symptoms.My intention in sharing this is not to cause any trouble but to highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing possible side effects and withdrawal symptoms from Prednisone. This feedback is aimed at improving awareness and care for future patients who might experience similar reactions.Thank you for your understanding.--I respect the work of the staff, as such things can happen to anyone, and no one could have predicted that I would develop an allergy to an allergy medication. However, for my own peace of mind, I have decided not to return to this clinic and will always double-check the prescriptions given to me by a doctor. Prescribing a potent steroid at high doses to someone who doesnt typically use it and has a chronic kidney condition is not something I would like to experience again in the future.

I cannot possibly recommend this place more. My partner went in for an ear ache and the two women at the reception area were so wonderfully helpful and kind I even went and got myself checked out. I haven’t been to a doctor in years, but they might have changed my mind about all that.

Had to bring my 4 year old in for a head cut that needed to be glued. The front desk staff were really nice and offered my son a lollipop afterwards as they could see he was upset. The PA and gentleman who checked us in were also very nice and understanding of how upset and nervous our son was. Didn’t have to wait long either. I do wish you didn’t have to do the check-in online/on your phone when you have a walk-in appointment; it’s not easy on the phone and could be done easier by front desk staff.

My biggest complaint about this place is allowing patients to make an appointment when they can’t honor the time. I made an appointment for 1 PM and proceeded to sit in the waiting room for an hour before being brought back into a room to wait another 40 minutes for the doctor to see me a total of three minutes.I’ve worked in an urgent care facility and understand wait times can be long and the place can be understaffed, but don’t allow appointments to be made online if you make the person wait an hour regardless. It doesn’t make sense. I won’t be returning here.

I am transitioning (female to male) and went to this urgent care in so much pain (with a problem that more females than males tend to get) and for some reason the front desk wrote down that my pronouns were she/her even though it says he/him on my id (they had a printed picture and photocopy of) and one staff member referred to me as “it”. If you or anyone you know struggles with gender dysphoria or pronouns I do not recommend this urgent care. I will not be returning here.

We have used AFC West Chester several times for urgent care needs. Every visit, whether a short or long wait (we’ve experienced both), we have always been welcomed warmly and respectfully, given excellent and efficient care and are impressed with the clean and professional environment (even on packed days), as well as the easy and nearly seamless registration & check-in process. I highly recommend AFC WC for your family’s urgent care needs!

Review №137

AFC doesn’t even deserve one star. I had heard terrible things about this place and I should have listened. I only came here because we were tired and the West Chester location is the closest urgent care facility to my house. My son (high school-aged) has been feeling sick for almost two weeks with a cough and upper respiratory congestion. He plays football so with his school schedule and practices he has been hesitant to spend any of his precious evening time waiting at a medical office. I finally decided he needed to go get checked and then (unfortunately) decided to go to AFC (because we were tired—he was feeling very sick, and it was close). I checked their website. Yep—they take walk-ins and are open until 8 pm. Sounded perfect and it was 6:30 pm when we left our house. Well, when we walked in their doors at 6:45 pm we were told that they would not be able to see us since they were not seeing any more patients. Even though they are a walk-in clinic and their website says they don’t close until 8pm! They were too busy. This is ridiculous! And I am livid. That was time wasted where i could have been driving to a different urgent care location (which is what i ended up doing).I highly recommend anyone do this—avoid AFC and go elsewhere!!! I ended up at Mainline Health’s urgent care in Concordville. We were able to walk in (as advertised) and their hours were as advertised. The facility was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful—a far cry from what we experienced at AFC. I will never return there again. All of the horror stories I have heard about that place must be true. Stay away!

We were seen at AFC on a holiday when my son’s ped office was closed. The front desk staff were professional and efficient. The nurse was kind and put my son at ease. The PA, Tom, took his time to explain to us what my son needed in terms of medicine and care. He then went on to speak with me about my older son and offered some advice on how to better manage his asthma symptoms. I felt less rushed and more accommodated in this facility than I typically do at their regular doctor’s office. We were out in under an hour and I suspect if was only that long due to the holiday. This is a great facility.

Went in because I had a terrible sore throat, nasal congestion, and ear pressure. I told the nurse that i tend to gag when throat swabs are done and i did indeed gag when she tried. She was visibily annoyed. the swab of my throat was never completed either. I guess the doctor or head nurse came in they didnt even look at my nose or listen to my heart or lungs.

I’ve literally never done this before, but feel compelled to as Julie and the rest of their team helped me not only with my injury, but understand my insurance, benefits and services that would be covered/ total amount owed prior to even admitting me.Not only that, but they helped me get into a specialist I was trying to schedule with earlier that day, the same day as my appointment with AFC.

I asked if she wanted me to take my shoe off I think she said yes just to placate me.

I went here with a suspected broken toe on Saturday 23rd. Office staff, PA Wendy, X-ray tech, and CMA Allison were all professional. However, I was told that I did not have a fracture after simply taking a short peek at my X-ray. Symptoms worsened and I went to Patient First in Downingtown where they actually looked at my x-ray with attention to detail (as it should be done) and they determined that it was broken and gave me genuine medical advice that was helpful. Staff at AFC did not even suggest that I buddy tape in the event that it was broken. Extremely disappointed that it took two urgent care visits to diagnose a broken big toe, especially since AFC staff knew that I was in an extreme amount of pain but did not take a close enough look at the scan, making me believe that they are messy and dont care enough to do their job of looking at images and provide decent patient care.

Went to UC for an extremely irritating sore throat, and swollen eye. The sore throat was my main complaint. I received antibiotic eye drops but the rapid test for the throat came back negative. I tried to explain my throat was extremely annoying and this was my reason for being there and riding it out wasn’t a great option. So my copay was paid, my insurance was billed, and a week later I still have a sore throat. I felt I wasn’t being considered and obviously I am right.

Went to Urgent care because I had caught the common cold. As I had been seated and waiting for someone to come out to me. It had passed an hour or so while the place was empty. Elder lady at the desk has an attitude problem and is very difficult to deal with. The other ladies there are all air heads and don’t understand what you’re trying to tell them. (AREN’T THEY THE PROFESSIONALS?!). Anyways waited there for an hour or so just for them to tell me they cannot help me because I didn’t have my insurance card. I am a college student in a limited schedule. I could have paid but I would never step foot in that place of business ever again. I’d rather have someone on the street of West Chester check up on me than so called professional at their job. Just do better Urgent Care that you guys are really disappointing.

Review №185

I recently visited the AFC urgent care in West Chester, PA and will NEVER return there. The lack of care and comments I received from the physician were unprofessional, to say the least. He used profanities while speaking to me (more than once) and I cannot help but think he felt this was acceptable since I was in the room alone. I never have been spoken to in such a manner and was completely and utterly shocked. It is quite unfortunate that I have to leave this google review and I cannot contact AFC corporate themselves. Not to mention, the physician never even introduced himself to me so I dont even have his name.Additionally, I made an appointment to be seen there only to wait an hour and while I understand the healthcare industry is under tremendous pressure right now, they should not allow appointments if you are not going to be seen within a certain amount of time. I really am floored by my experience there and I would not advise anyone, especially a young woman, to go here alone. If anyone knows how I can file a more formal complaint, I would greatly appreciate any insight. Thank you!

If you or anyone you know is transgender or apart of the lgbt+ community i would not recommend this urgent care. I brought my boyfriend (ftm) to this urgent care was misgendered multiple times, even when his drivers lisense says M. They also referred to him as an “it”. This is not a welcoming or safe environment.

I was / am an annoying patient. I needed to get a physical for a school requirement and the kind people here walked me through every process. I cant speak highly enough for their personalism and professionalism. Extremely recommended.

My doctor had no appointments so I came here. This was a very friendly place. I was seen within 20 minutes. I saw the Nurse Practitioner, who was an experienced ER care giver. Got script sent to CVs and advice for over the counter meds. Would go to again.

I went in today from out of town for back pain. Made an appointment online and uploaded my info and set an appointment time for one hour later when I had a ride there. When I got there I just had to give my name and two minutes later the MA came and got me. Asked me brief and pertinent questions to my problem while being sympathetic, professional, and friendly. About 3 minutes later Dr. Sax came in and heard my concerns, quickly examined my back and posture and provided a treatment along with a medication to help my pain. This was the best medical experience I have ever had. Super efficient, quick, no wait, staff were friendly, building was clean, and check out was a breeze where I got a note for work, written script to take to any pharmacy, and a summary of my visit and treatment instructions. I wish going to my primary was this easy! I honestly have severe medical trauma and have never had such a pleasant experience before that I had to write a review. Thank you!

I had a good experience with AFC Urgent care. I didnt have to wait too long, and all of my concerns were addressed. The doctor took his time with me and made sure I was comfortable. He explained his thought process and put my mind at ease. He was very thorough. Rachel my nurse was very sweet and caring. Overall it was a great experience and I left without any worry at all. Thanks guys.

The waiting room was crowded and there was obviously a long wait to see the doctor (2 hrs). Every time a new patient arrived the staff would tell them to have a seat and a doctor would see them shortly (instead of telling them the truth, that it would be at least a 2 hour wait. Only after some of the patients started to complain about the wait, did the staff start telling new arrivals of the long wait time.

Terrible! My husband paid $150 for a Covid test to fly to China at 5am next morning (was on a Sunday). The test came back negative, we stayed the 30 min to get results. Went home and uploaded the results to American Airlines and came back - REJECTED ( test had to be done within 48 hours). The person who printed the results clicked the PRIOR Sunday, thus > 48 hours. The clinic closed at 5, we got message from airlines at 5:10. We contacted after hours answering service, they took our number to have them call back - NOTHING! We ended up going to a different urgent care and spent hours. Completely unacceptable

Went in needing stitches for a cut on my finger on a Saturday morning. Overall wait was less than 15 minutes and I saw the PA quickly. Wendy was awesome and I was in and out in less than an hour.

The prescription nasal spray I was prescribed here didn’t do anything. Misdiagnosed or incorrect treatment. The employees were all kind and nice so giving them some stars, but felt no relief since my visit with them Friday. I also made a 10:30AM appointment online and still had to wait almost an hour to be seen. I understand things happen and appointments run late but why accept appointments online if none of the time slots are honored

If you are looking for prompt and professional medical attention, AFC Urgent Care is the place to go. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and skilled. The facility itself was clean, modern, and looked well-equipped with the latest medical technology.I recently visited their West Chester facility and was extremely impressed with the level of service I received from Tom Giovinazzo, PA-C. I was greeted by Tom as he walked into the exam room, a friendly and caring staff member who made me feel welcome and at ease. Many years ago I had a doctor, who has since moved from PA, that once said ...you should know more about your health than I do. I took that message to heart and I always do a fair amount of research when Im sick, before seeing the doctor. That said, when I told Tom my diagnosis, he went over my symptoms, examined me and said ...you are correct and prescribed the necessary medication. I make particular mention of this because most doctors or PAs tend to be disturbed by my knowledge and usually ask me how many (insert any expletive) years I went to medical school, in a very condescending tone (although Ive never been wrong). I dont think every patient should or needs to do this, I just feel that when a medical professional is provided this information, maybe a nod and verification is in order, before making an unwelcome and condescending comment. Kudos to Tom! ...for not being offended by my need to be an informed patient.Unfortunately, the one negative that really stood out to me about AFC Urgent Care was their lack of commitment to the scheduling in advance of appointments. I scheduled an appointment online around 7:15 AM that day for a 5:00 PM appointment. I arrived at 4:45 PM, checked in at the front desk, noticed there were 3 patients waiting and three back in the exam rooms. They said there was no paperwork to complete, due to everything being prepared online in advance of the appointment and because I had been a previous patient. I waited until 5:30 PM to be seen, while they were seeing walkin patients in the order that they had arrived before me. If AFC Urgent Care is not going to adhere to the appointment schedule, it should not have been an option to schedule one.Overall, I would highly recommend AFC Urgent Care to anyone in need of prompt and professional medical attention. The staff is top-notch, the facility is state-of-the-art, and the level of care and attention that they provide is truly exceptional. Whether you need urgent care services or simply want to schedule a routine check-up, AFC Urgent Care is the place to go.

We were from out of state and my 17 year old needed care for a UTI. It was easy to make an appointment online, paid a small copay and took our insurance. We were quick to be seen and after a urine test was done it was determined she indeed have a UTI and also treated her for a yeast infection even though her results would take a few days to come back. It was a one pill and fine treatment. We used Cvs to fill the scripts and got them promptly and it ended up costing me 30 dollars total out of pocket to treat my daughter and make her feel better for the long weekend. All the staff there was exceptional.

This Urgent Care was wonderful. When I walked in, it was extremely busy, but I could tell that doctors and staff were doing the best that they could to keep up with it. I had made an appointment, and though I had to wait past my appointment time, every one was extremely kind and apologetic for the wait. The nurse and doctor were so kind, quick, and effective, as well as the ladies at the front desk, who thanked me for being patient as I left. That kind of simple thoughtfulness made me very appreciative and glad I chose this Urgent Care over somewhere else. I could not have had a better experience!

Dr. Sax was great. The medication he put me on worked fast and he called me to tell me of my lab results. My only issue is with the woman who answered my call back. Dr. Sax left me a voicemail where he told me the time and day at which he left this voicemail and told me to call back. I called back ten minutes after the voicemail was left and the woman who answered the phone call was so extremely rude to me I was absolutely shocked. I really wish I got her name because her reaction was absolutely disproportionate to the content of my phone call. I was struggling to breathe and she got very loud with me and told me that I was lying about when I got the voicemail because the doctor wasnt in that day. I even double checked the timestamps in the transcription of the message (I use iPhone) so its all displayed very clearly and I was not mistaken.
