Said head/eye injury
Kristen B.

First things first - If you have Tricare, I would avoid this urgent care. They do not know how to properly bill for Tricare select or Tricare prime and you will always end up paying over your co pay. I've showed the office multiple times where it states $26 on tricare.mil under plan costs for Tricare Select Group B. They state that it doesn't populate that way for them and that tricare in fact gives them $52 co pays for select at times. The front office person was extort rude and not understanding what I was trying to relay. They tried to refuse me care for a $2 balance after I've been back and forth with their billing as they are incorrect and have been multiple times for both me and my children. I have a head injury and was almost turned away for $2 that wasn't even owed on my end!!! Ridiculous. She kept saying she'd have to try to contact her manager and see if he was available but with it being the holiday, he probably wouldn't be. I ended up saying "You know what? F it. I'll pay however much today and contact your billing and also Tricare tomorrow because I just really need someone to look at my head". I was bawling my eyes out and the front desk lady couldn't have cared less. Second thing I think is worth mentioning is that my 5 year old daughter was seen for an infection and we told them point blank that she was allergic to penicillin and that she'd had multiple bad reactions to it in the past. They prescribed it to her anyways after assuring us that they wouldn't. When they followed up with a phone call they started "oh well, at least you know she's not anaphylactic to it anymore" . I was LIVID!! After that my daughter never went back. I only went today because it is a holiday and it was the only place without an extremely long wait time. I, however, learned my lesson and my family and I won't be back!

Happy patient

Had a huge cyst on my back that needed to be removed. Called 8-2-8 Urgent Care... they said come over right now... I went went straight to the back and Dr Hammer and his assistant Marilee fixed me up in like 10 minutes. Blown away by how quick the whole process was. Dr. Hammer is this super nice guy who makes you feel totally at ease. I was very comfortable through the whole procedure. And Marilee was super funny. The kind of person that makes you feel comfortable immediately. Honestly, if you need urgent care, this place rocks. Big shoutout to Dr. Hammer and Marilee for making an annoying procedure not-so-annoying :)

Incorrectly billed insurance. Subpar communication. Avoid and go to a specialist if possible. Their billing department will harass you

I want to know usually how much do I need pay if I do the physical examination . And will my insurance company(ISO insurance)will cover it?

My insurance company covers it, I have an HMO. It should be just your regular doctor's visit co pay, my visits to 8 to 8 have been.

Howling is the wait

You can check Google Maps to see if they're busy or not.

When it comes to facilitating and administering Covid-19 vaccines, granted I have no reference, few…read morepeople do, but this particular Scripps location was amazingly well-organized for an absolutely seamless process. The instructions were to show up only five minutes prior to your appointment time, which I did. The rest of my journey was a curated and fine-tuned path from start to finish that didn't waste a single moment. - A security guard will give you a preliminary screening at the door and point you in the right direction. - For Covid-19 vaccines I was instructed to speak to a woman in a sweater, who was clearly identified about 50 feet ahead of me. - The woman in the sweater asked if I had checked in already (I did as it was suggested on my app) and then directed me to the reception desk. - The reception desk verified my information including appointment time and instructed me to follow the big white arrow. - After following the first white arrow I was greeted by another employee, a nice young man who once again confirmed I was receiving a vaccine and asked me to continue following the white arrows along the route until I reached the final blue line - spacers for social distancing. - Once at the final blue line I waited for about fifteen seconds before being invited into an exam room turned vaccination room. - My info was verified again and I had a shot of Moderna in the arm about a minute later. Armed with an information packet I was done with the shot... I'm now one step closer to a more worry-free life. - Once done with the shot I walked out a doorway to be greeted by the nice young man again who asked me to keep track of my own time, sit down, and make my next appointment on the app. - My fifteen minutes came and went, my next appointment was scheduled, and the chair I was sitting in was quickly wiped down upon my exit. Total time spent in the building including my fifteen minutes post vaccine shot? About 19 minutes... that's efficiency.

The quality care is beyond excellent on what I usually get. It's amazing how I was treated before and how I'm being treated now. Even the front office ladies are alert and ready and with a welcoming smile. I'm so happy we switched to Scripps Medical Center!! They actually care about you!!

When I accidentally missed my appointment, Claudia was kind enough to call and check on me instead of just marking it as a no-show.

She also took the initiative to sort out the issues with my Relay transportation after my ride was missed, taking a huge amount of stress off my shoulders. Claudia is compassionate, professional, efficient, and genuinely cares about her patients. It's rare to find someone who is so proactive and willing to go the extra mile. She made what could have been a frustrating situation incredibly easy to resolve. Thank you, Claudia, for your kindness and exceptional customer service. You are a tremendous asset to this practice, and I hope you receive the recognition you deserve!

No appointments available for three weeks. , My insurance company and asked if Urgent Care was an option I was told Yes, and the agent actually helped look for and locate a facility that accepted my Insurance Insurance The agent even gave me the address and told me they were open until a specific time They got in the car and drove straight there Pulled into the parking lot and I was shocked. This is an urgent care in the parking lot and we have two cars in it I walked in at the receptionist who was extremely friendly and hopeful Share me complete the necessary paperwork they did the necessary verification for Insurance Insurance, and in less than 20 minutes I was seen by a doctor 10 minutes later, I was on my way to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions All I can say, as I was shocked and in a good way I thought Urgent Care would be packed kind of like a zoo and would take forever kinda like when you go to Tri City Hospital Not the case again, both the receptionist and the doctor were extremely friendly and helpful Unbelievable, less than 40 minutes walking in and out. I am extremely happy and I would recommend this facility to everyone They get an A in my book.

My younger sister isn't a physician I didn't know the devastating impact her decision would have on my health at that time period. I decided to take this Estrogen Medication called Prempro for (one year and a half) then I stopped taking this Medication because this Prempro caused me to contract a severe DVT means a (Deep Venous Thrombosis) in my Left Leg. I contacted Dr. Richard Saxon who is a Certified Radiologist who specializes in the Stenting process of inserting Stents in both my Right and Left Groin Area inside my body. Dr. Richard Saxon performed this Stenting Surgical procedure for the First Time on my Left Leg. My Stenting Procedure was very successful. I was his First Recipient.

Also Dr. Justin Gooding performed a similar procedure on the same left leg and this procedure was very successful with excellent results.

During my visit, I experienced excessive wait times, poor communication, lack of follow-up, staff behavior. What was most concerning was lack of communication. I understand that hospitals can be busy and that healthcare professionals work under significant pressure. However, patients and families deserve clear communication, respect, and timely care. In my case, I had to wait 3 days for an MRI after that their wasn't a care plan to follow up. I had to advocate for myself for proper treatment. I am sharing this feedback not simply to complain, but in the hope that management will review these concerns and take steps to improve the patient experience. I would appreciate having someone from leadership contact me to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your attention.
